The Illinois Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics Refugee Immigrant Child Health Initiative (RICHI), a collaboration of physicians and child advocates, is one of the most robust state chapter programs of its kind. RICHI evolved by tapping into its key demographics to discern both patient needs and providers' skill sets. Although both may be unique to Illinois and its provider base, they can nonetheless provide a framework for creating and guiding state chapters to support the special needs of children in immigrant families. This article illustrates the importance of identifying and analyzing relevant local demographic and policy-related concerns and how to build capacity, connect to local resources, and form key partnerships.

伊利诺伊州儿科学会难民移民儿童健康倡议组织(RICHI)是医生和儿童权益倡导者的合作项目,是同类中最强大的州级分会项目之一。RICHI通过深入了解其主要受众群体来确定患者需求和提供者的技能组合,从而不断发展。虽然这两者可能是伊利诺伊州及其提供者群体所特有的,但它们仍然可以为创建和指导州级分会提供一个框架,以支持移民家庭中儿童的特殊需求。本文阐述了识别和分析相关当地人口统计及政策相关问题的重要性,以及如何建设能力、连接当地资源并建立关键伙伴关系。[《儿科年鉴》。2020年;49(5):e228 - e232。]
