Using data from the Refugee Integration Survey and Evaluation (RISE), we assess the integration of 467 newly resettled refugees in Colorado over three consecutive years, beginning in 2011. We find that that integration significantly increases with more time in the United States, and that age, gender…

The purpose of this study was to: (i) operationalize an integration framework to create a reliable and valid survey to assess refugee integration, (ii) test the us…
