Caring for Indochinese refugees.

A refugee camp in Hong Kong and a health center in Los Angeles provide data on patterns of health care among Indochinese refugees. American physicians need to be aware that incoming refugees use both Western and traditional Chinese models of medical care. In addition, they are subject to special psychologic problems resulting from their past ordeals and their resettlement in a different country. Increased emergency aid should be provided to geographic areas with large concentrations of refugees.
