About

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate early-phase interventions for refugee wellness promotion and build evidence for dissemination of the intervention model and curricula through refugee resettlement programs, local and national.

Full description

This study will examine the main effects of trauma-informed case management (TICM) and trauma-informed cultural orientation (TICO) interventions, respectively, in reducing resettlement distress and increasing coping capacity, which will improve emotional wellness and social adaptation and thus resettlement outcomes. This project will also test the interaction effects of two-tiered intervention model, discerning effective and ineffective components of the intervention model. Differences in effects across intervention conditions may inform how improvement in what outcomes or which phase can affect refugees' wellness and adjustment over time.
