In 1984-85 Operation Moses brought a mass immigration of Jewish Ethiopians to Israel. Many of these immigrants were children and adolescents who came on their own having left their families behind. Since that time the adolescent department at the Geha Psychiatric Hospital has had the major responsibility of caring for those Ethiopian adolescents who required psychiatric hospitalization. The present study compares the diagnoses and reasons for admission of Ethiopian adolescents in Israel with those of Ethiopian adults and Israeli adolescents. The results of this comparison show that Ethiopian adolescents in hospital had significantly higher rates of dissociative disorders than the other two groups and significantly lower rates of the major functional psychoses than Ethiopian adults and Israeli adolescents. In addition the Ethiopian adolescents had relatively low levels of nonspecific depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms and were hospitalized for significantly shorter periods of time than the other two groups.
1984 - 1985年的“摩西行动”使得大量埃塞俄比亚犹太人移民到以色列。这些移民中有许多是儿童和青少年，他们独自前来，抛下了家人。自那时起，盖哈精神病院的青少年科主要负责照料那些需要住院治疗的埃塞俄比亚青少年。本研究将以色列埃塞俄比亚青少年的诊断结果及入院原因与埃塞俄比亚成年人和以色列青少年进行比较。比较结果显示，住院的埃塞俄比亚青少年解离性障碍的发病率显著高于其他两组，而主要功能性精神病的发病率则显著低于埃塞俄比亚成年人和以色列青少年。此外，埃塞俄比亚青少年非特异性抑郁症状和焦虑症状的水平相对较低，住院时间也明显短于其他两组。
