Using data spanning 1996-2009 from multiple panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation, this study investigates children's (average age 8.5 years) physical health, dental visits, and doctor contact among low-income children (n=46,148) in immigrant versus native households. Immigrant households are further distinguished by household citizenship and immigration status. The findings show that children residing in households with non-naturalized citizen parents, particularly those with a nonpermanent resident parent, experience worse health and less access to care even when controlling for important demographic, socioeconomic, and health insurance variables.
利用 1996 年至 2009 年来自多个收入和参与项目调查小组的数据，本研究调查了（平均年龄为 8.5 岁）低收入儿童（46148 名儿童）在移民家庭和本地家庭中的身体健康、看牙医和看医生的情况。移民家庭根据家庭公民身份和移民身份进一步划分。研究结果表明，即使在控制了重要的人口统计学、社会经济和医疗保险变量后，居住在没有入籍公民父母的家庭中的儿童，特别是那些有非永久居民父母的儿童，其健康状况更差，获得医疗服务的机会也更少。
