We examined the distribution of mental health disorders and treatment outcomes among Iraqi refugees as compared to nonrefugee Arab immigrants. Chart review data were obtained from 191 Iraqi refugees and 94 nonrefugees. There were no significant differences between refugees and nonrefugees in terms of major psychiatric disorders. However, treatment response, which was poor among the entire group, was significantly worse among Iraqi refugees. Although this is a pilot study, results suggest that treatment offered to refugees is far from effective, which has implications not only from a theoretical point of view but also in terms of health care policy and allocation of resources
