Vietnamese immigrant and refugee women ( N = 83) were surveyed regarding their mental health, English language proficiency, age of arrival, length of stay, and income. English language proficiency and age of arrival correlated with reduced symptomatology. Moreover, English language proficiency was the sole predictor of somatic distress. Se realizó una encuesta a un grupo de mujeres inmigrantes y refugiadas vietnamitas ( N = 83) con respecto a su salud mental, nivel de inglés, edad de llegada, tiempo de estancia y nivel de ingresos.

Además, el nivel de conocimiento de inglés fue el único elemento capaz de predecir el malestar somático.
