The goal of this literature review is to provide a critical overview of existing research on the health of immigrant youth within the last decade. Although the review focuses primarily on Canada, the findings have implications for public health planning, policy, and settlement/immigration services in other immigrant-receiving countries. The main objectives are: (i) to locate relevant literature written in the past 10 years (January 1998-January 2008); (ii) to undertake a critical review of retrieved studies; (iii) to highlight gaps in the current state of our knowledge and make recommendations for future research directions. The review focuses on the influence of migration experience on health of youth.
本次文献回顾的目的在于批判性地综述过去十年中有关移民青少年健康的现有研究。尽管本研究主要集中在加拿大，但其研究结果对其他移民接收国的公共卫生规划、政策和移民定居服务具有一定的启示意义。主要目标如下：（一）查找过去十年（1998 年 1 月至 2008 年 1 月）内发表的相关文献；（二）对检索到的研究进行批判性综述；（三）强调当前知识体系中的空白，并为未来的研究方向提出建议。本次综述重点关注移民经历对青少年健康的影响。
