  • Perceived Insomnia, Anxiety, and Depression among Older Russian Immigrants

    Open AccessGeorges Casimir, G J Casimir et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2010

    There are few data on the relationships of anxiety and depression to insomnia among immigrants in the United States. Observations of high rates of symptoms of these associated conditions among older Russians indicate the need to focus clinical attention on this population. Relationships of self-reported depression and anxiety to insomnia complaints were investigated in a community-based sample of older Russian immigrants. Volunteers (N=307) were …
