The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. FINDINGS: The most frequently reported and the most severe symptoms differed by subethnicity. The total number of symptoms differed by subethnicity, as did total severity scores for the symptoms. DISCUSSION: Researchers and clinicians should be aware of subethnic differences.
