The Indochinese refugees have experienced more devastation than most Americans will know in a lifetime. The tremendous turmoil of war, the risking of one's life, the forced separation of families and relocation into the American culture have drastically changed the lives of every Indochinese individual. Nor do the emotional scars imprinted into the minds of these people disappear upon arrival into a neutral country. Rather, these psychological problems can show themselves as suicidal preoccupation, or attempts. This paper stresses related variables observed in those Indochinese people contemplating suicide. Of 4,192 Indochinese refugees sampled, ten suicidally inclined refugees were identified. Clinical findings revealed that multiple determinants were operating conjointly in creating the high risk of any particular refugee in relation to suicide.
印度支那难民所经历的破坏比大多数美国人一生所知的还要多。战争的巨大动荡、生命危险、家庭被迫分离以及迁移到美国文化中，都极大地改变了每一个印度支那人的生活。这些人心中留下的情感创伤也不会在抵达一个中立国家后就消失。相反，这些心理问题可能表现为自杀倾向或自杀企图。本文着重探讨了在那些有自杀念头的印度支那人身上观察到的相关变量。在抽取的4192名印度支那难民样本中，识别出了10名有自杀倾向的难民。临床研究结果表明，多种因素共同作用，导致任何特定难民自杀风险升高。
