DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): U.S.-born citizen-children of undocumented or illegal immigrants are often the unintended victims of deportation policies. When deported, parents must make critical decisions: to take their citizen-children with them or leave them behind in the care of others. But, what happens to the psychosocial functioning of citizen-children who have left the U.S. or remained behind after immigration-enforcement actions are taken against their parents? To begin answering these questions, this R21 will (a) develop the methods and test their feasibility in recruiting, interviewing, and following children affected by their parents' deportation; and (b) collect preliminary data to develop detailed psychological and social profiles of how children fare during a six- month period as they adjust to their circumstances. A team of researchers from the U.S. and Mexico, will conduct in-depth interviews and clinical assessments of 60 children between 10 and 12 years of age spread across three groups: 20 who accompanied their deported parents to Mexico; 20 who remained in the U.S. when parents were deported; and a comparison group of 20 citizen-children whose undocumented parents are not being deported at the time. The developmental-exploratory aims are to: I. Develop procedures for a bi-national (U.S.-Mexico) exploratory, longitudinal project on citizen-children. II. Develop and test in-depth interviews and clinical measures to be used at 2 data-collection points. III. Compare the experiences and clinical profiles of citizen-children in all three groups. Findings and experience gained through this project will set the basis for a rigorous R01 application that will, together with the present project, inform developmental science and influence national policy. This project aligns with NICHD's mission "that all children have the chance to achieve their full potential for healthy and productive lives, free from disease or disability, and to ensure the health, productivity, independence, and well-being of all people." Specifically, NICHD's Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch urges exploration of why people migrate, how it reshapes them, and how movement affects children's behavior problems. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Reports and calls-to-action from some of our nation's leading institutions underscore the significance of this project on psychosocial functioning of citizen-children. NIH has recognized for years the influences of family interactions on children's mental health conditions. Healthy People 2020 notes the need for studying the social conditions affecting children. The Institute of Medicine (2009) states authoritatively that children's mental disorders are too commonplace and have life-long effects on them, their families and communities. Institute of Medicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：无证件或非法移民的美国公民儿童通常是驱逐出境政策的意外受害者。当被驱逐出境时，父母必须做出关键决定：带他们的公民儿童或将他们留在他人的照顾下。但是，在对父母采取移民执法行动后，离开美国的公民孩子的社会心理功能会发生什么？为了开始回答这些问题，该R21将（a）开发方法并测试其在受父母驱逐出境影响的孩子招募，面试和追随儿童中的可行性； （b）收集初步数据，以开发详细的心理和社会概况，以适应儿童在六个月内如何适应自己的情况。来自美国和墨西哥的一组研究人员将对60名10至12岁之间的60名儿童进行深入的访谈和临床评估，分为三组：20名陪同被驱逐出墨西哥的父母陪同； 20岁的父母被驱逐出境时留在美国；还有一个由20个公民儿童组成的比较小组，当时没有录音的父母没有被驱逐出境。开发探索的目的是：I。为公民儿童的双国（美国 - 墨西哥）探索性，纵向项目制定程序。 ii。开发和测试深入的访谈和临床指标，将在2个数据收集点使用。 iii。比较所有三个小组中公民孩子的经验和临床特征。通过该项目获得的发现和经验将为严格的R01应用程序奠定基础，该应用将与本项目一起为发展科学和影响国家政策提供信息。该项目与NICHD的使命保持一致，“所有儿童都有机会获得健康和生产力的全部潜力，不受疾病或残疾，并确保所有人的健康，生产力，独立性和福祉。”具体而言，NICHD的人口统计学和行为科学分支机构敦促探索人们为何迁移，如何重塑他们以及运动如何影响儿童的行为问题。 公共卫生相关性：来自我们国家一些领先机构的报告和行动，强调了该项目对公民儿童的心理社会功能的重要性。 NIH多年来认识到家庭互动对儿童心理健康状况的影响。健康人2020指出，需要研究影响儿童的社会状况。医学研究所（2009年）权威地指​​出，儿童的精神障碍太普遍了，对他们，他们的家庭和社区产生了终生的影响。医学研究所。 （2009）。预防年轻人中的心理，情感和行为障碍：进步和可能性。华盛顿特区：国家科学院。
