Site Summary: "Despite a sharp increase in refugee immigration into the United States from the Pacific Islands (Oceania) since 1975, Pacific Islanders remain one of the smallest and most poorly understood groups of minority persons. Most health professionals have had little exposure to these individuals, their culture, and their health problems. Little is known about the effects of migration, westernization, and modernization on their health status." Quoted from the Web Site
