The reported high level of depression and suicide among Ethiopian single male refugees is often related to their being culturally and ethnically distinct in the U.S. Research investigating the psychological well-being of these refugees in California, Washington and Nevada indicates that the level of stress among Ethiopian refugees resettled by agencies is higher than the stress of those resettled by volunteers. When English facility is held constant, the differential ability of these two resettlement methodologies to provide appropriate employment and access to higher education varies directly with the stress levels. Recommendations for improvement of resettlement are offered.

Negative Impacts

Racial discrimination against people of Chinese and other Asian ethnicities has risen sharply in number and severity globally amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This rise has been especially rapid and severe in the United States, fueled by xenophobic political rhetoric and racist language on social media. It has endangered the lives of many Asian Americans and is likely to have long-term negative impacts on the economic, social, physical, and psychological well-being of Asian Americans. This essay reviews the prevalence and consequences of anti-Asian racial discrimination during COVID-19 and calls for actions in practice, policy, and research to stand against it.

Very little is known about the types of services currently available in state prisons to combat the physical and psychological problems faced by pregnant inmates. Such services are extremely important for the physical and psychological well-being of these women as well as their subsequently born children. This article presents results from a study of the prevalence and types of policies being implemented voluntarily for the care and support of pregnant inmates in state prisons throughout the United States. The implications of these results for policies designed to reduce the problems faced by pregnant inmates are also presented.
