The reported high level of depression and suicide among Ethiopian single male refugees is often related to their being culturally and ethnically distinct in the U.S. Research investigating the psychological well-being of these refugees in California, Washington and Nevada indicates that the level of stress among Ethiopian refugees resettled by agencies is higher than the stress of those resettled by volunteers.
