Using the HSCL-25, the levels of anxiety and depression were measured for refugees from Vietnam, Somalia, and the former Yugoslavia (N = 60) who were clients of a community social services agency. Depression and anxiety levels were highest among the Vietnamese clients, anxiety levels were highest among the Somalians, and both anxiety and depression level were lowest for former Yugoslavians. Based on gender, anxiety levels were high for both the Vietnamese and Somalian males, while depression levels were highest for the Vietnamese males. Single females as a group exceeded the cutting score at higher rates than single males; in contrast, married males exceeded the cutting score at a higher rate than married females. A highly correlated relationship was demonstrated between anxiety and depression (r = 0.70, p < 0.001). Using ANOVA, depression significantly differed between the refugee groups (p = 0.007); differences in anxiety between refugee groups were not statistically significant.
