This longitudinal study of a random sample of Lao Hmong refugees in Nebraska examined the change in need that occurred between 1980 and 1985 for the fol lowing home economics areas: housing, employment, family relations, family finance, nutrition, clothing, and social environment. A questionnaire translated into the Hmong language was used. Change was interpreted using McCubbin's stress theory and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. In 1985, Hmong reported fewer needs or problems with housing, employment, nutrition, clothing, and family conflict. However, increased problems were found with family finance, home- sickness, and concern for family members left behind in Laos. Possible reasons for these changes are discussed.
