abstract: 'Poor childhood health contributes to lower socioeconomic status in
adulthood. Subsequently, low socioeconomic status among parents
contributes to poor childhood health outcomes in the next generation.
This cycle can be particularly pernicious for vulnerable and low-income
minority populations, including many children of immigrants. And because
of the rapid growth in the numbers of immigrant children, this cycle
also has implications for the nation as a whole. By promoting the
physical well-being and emotional health of children of immigrants,
health professionals and policy makers can ultimately improve the
long-term economic prospects of the next generation.
Despite their poorer socioeconomic circumstances and the stress
associated with migration and acculturation, foreign-born children who
immigrate to the United States typically have lower mortality and
morbidity risks than U. S. children born to immigrant parents. Over
time, however, and across generations, the health advantage of immigrant
children fades. For example, researchers have found that the share of
adolescents who are overweight or obese, a key indicator of physical
health, is lowest for foreign-born youth, but these shares grow larger
for each generation and increase rapidly as youth transition into
adulthood.
Access to health care substantially influences the physical and
emotional health status of immigrant children. Less likely to have
health insurance and regular access to medical care services than
nonimmigrants, immigrant parents delay or forgo needed care for their
children. When children finally receive care, it is often in the
emergency room after an urgent condition has developed.
To better promote the health of children of immigrants, health
researchers and reformers must improve their understanding of the unique
experiences of immigrant children; increase access to medical care and
the capacity of providers to work with multilingual and multicultural
populations; and continue to improve the availability and affordability
of health insurance for all Americans.'
