Refugees and Healthcare

Using library and Internet resources, you will research a group of refugees and answer the following questions:

1) What ethnic, linguistic, or national groups, in particular, from this country or region sought refuge in the United States?

2) Under what political, economic, and social circumstances did people leave this country or region in the past decade?

3) What organizations, foundations, or other community groups are in place to support refugees from this country or region?

4) What is the primary religion of this group?

5) What are some of the general health and healing beliefs of this group?

6) How is their religion tied to their health care beliefs?

7) Where have the majority of refugees from this country or region settled within the United States? How might a hospital of clinic in this region practice cultural competency for this group?

8) Can you find a case study or example of a refugee from this group seeking health care in the United States? If so, briefly describe the story.

Please explore the following refugee communities based on the first letter of your last name. I have divided the class to ensure that not everyone is researching the same group. When you do your classmate response, you should respond to a classmate who wrote about a different group than you researched.
