Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Previous research suggests ethnic identity, a sense of belonging to a particular cultural group, may be protective against symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

From this region, Nigerian individuals and families make up a larger portion of this immigrant group. This study employs a qualitative research …
