Summary
This study looks at how stress from being a refugee—like trauma, discrimination, and adjusting to a new culture—affects sleep in Bhutanese refugees living in Ohio. Researchers will hold focus groups and interviews with 70 adults to understand their sleep problems and coping strategies. The goal is to find out what kind of support and resources could help improve their sleep and overall health.
