Southeast Asian refugee adolescent friendship preferences and functions in public high schools

Southeast Asian Refugee Adolescents (SARA) were studied in two Illinois public high schools to determine whether SARA friendship preferences affect academic achievement. There were 148 students in the sample: 121 SARAs and a control group of 27 White American Adolescents (WAA). Three data collection methods were utilized: Sociodemographic Questionnaire (SQ), Friendship Nomination Form (FNF), and Open Interview Questionnaire (OIQ). Data were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative procedures as a means of comparing the results of each method with the other.
