Study Finds Refugees In Denver Are Integrating To A Better Life

By Mark Taylor
DENVER (CBS4) – Colorado takes in about 2,000 refugees every year, and for the first time a study looked at how well those refugees assimilate into society long term.
The Refugee Integration Survey and Evaluation, or RISE, focused on a single group of refugees during the first four years of resettlement. The RISE survey was administered to nearly all adult refugees who arrived in Denver from Bhutan, Burma, Somalia and Iraq during the 2011 fiscal year.
