Mental Health Related Needs Among the Indochinese Refugees in the Denver Metropolitan Area

A survey assessment was made of mental-health-related needs among the Indochinese refugees in the Denver metropolitan area. The survey form used involved separate assessments for thirteen basic human needs, ten life area satisfactions, twenty-three psychological effects, seventeen psychophysiological indicators, and corresponding global scores. Analyses of age, sex, and ethnic sub9roups within the Indochinese sample revealed strong and oervasive ethnic differences. Age and sex differences were present but were minor by comparison. Comparison and covariation analyses were used to develop a portrayal of the general character anrl circumstances of the Vietnamese, H'Mong, and Cambodians and the implied characteristic psychological strains associated with each. Further analyses suggested the kind of individual variations and symptom patterns that might be characteristic of each group. The findings were presented as relevant for prevention, outreach, training, service, and oolicy planni ng. A set of guidelines for service providers, based in part on these results, is planned for the near future

Taking dogs to tourism activities : incorporating attachment into a pet-related constraint-negotiation model

This research’s purpose is to examine the factors that affect pet owners’ decisions when taking pets to participate in tourism activities. Unlike tourist travelling alone, pet owners must consider their own circumstances as well as the constraints their pets place on them. To narrow the gap in the literature, 568 Taiwanese dog owners who have included their pets in tourism activities were recruited. The results from structural equation modeling show pet-associated constraints will negatively affect owners’ behavior. On the other hand, motivated owners who are attached to their pets will still include their pets in tourism activities if they have the needed negotiation strategy
