    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to describe a group of 42 refugee- and immigrant children up to 14 years old compared to Danish controls in order to identify groups at risk and describe course, examination, treatment and contact. The investigation was based on case records. The only statistically significant results were higher frequencies of referral than expected regarding children from Lebanon and Somalia. However, the data indicate differences between the foreign and Danish groups as to greater problems of speech and language and less behavioural and emotional problems among the foreigners. No foreign children were offered foster homes. The attitudes of the parents towards referral, examination and treatment are more negative in the foreign group. The need for more research is emphasized.
