Project I focuses on the health and development of Mexican children of immigrants ages 0 to 5. Mexican origin children are known to be at disproportionate risk for a number of physical, behavioral, and developmental disorders, and research addressing these health issues has been described as an urgent priority. The broad aims of Project I are to investigate how immigration and assimilation processes shape the family circumstances of Mexican-origin children, and to analyze how family circumstances, in turn, shape children's health outcomes. The project will use data from the birth cohort ofthe Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS-B), the National Health Interview Survey linked to Office of Immigration Statistics records (NHIS-OIS), and the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS) to: (1) determine the relative merits of various approaches to the conceptualization and measurement of young children's health, with an emphasis on understanding interethnic health disparities; (2) demonstrate the role of family contexts in interethnic health disparities; and (3) investigate how immigration influences family contexts, and how immigration and family contexts jointly shape intraethnic health disparities. The project will classify children across health conditions as well as within conditions; unpack race-ethnicity and immigration experience in terms of specific aspects ofthe family context that may affect young children's health and development; follow individual children longitudinally to assess the links between immigration, assimilation, the family context, and child health; investigate the role of parents' legal immigration status; and place the study of U.S. Mexican-origin children in a broader context using binational data. The project is highly relevant to public health because of the rising number of Mexican-origin children of immigrants and limited knowledge about their health and development.

项目 I 重点关注 0 至 5 岁墨西哥移民儿童的健康和发展。众所周知，墨西哥裔儿童面临许多身体、行为和发育障碍的风险过高，解决这些健康问题的研究被描述为当务之急。项目 I 的主要目标是调查移民和同化过程如何塑造墨西哥裔儿童的家庭环境，并分析家庭环境如何反过来塑造墨西哥裔儿童的家庭环境。 儿童的健康结果。该项目将使用来自早期儿童纵向研究 (ECLS-B)、与移民统计办公室记录相关的国家健康访谈调查 (NHIS-OIS) 和墨西哥家庭生活调查 (MxFLS) 的出生队列数据来： 1) 确定幼儿健康的各种概念化和测量方法的相对优点，重点是 了解种族间的健康差异； (2) 证明家庭环境在种族间健康差异中的作用； (3) 调查移民如何影响家庭环境，以及移民和家庭环境如何共同影响种族内的健康差异。该项目将根据健康状况以及健康状况内的情况对儿童进行分类；从具体角度解析种族和移民经历 可能影响幼儿健康和发展的家庭环境的各个方面；纵向跟踪个别儿童，评估移民、同化、家庭背景和儿童健康之间的联系；调查父母合法移民身份的作用；并使用两国数据将美国墨西哥裔儿童的研究置于更广泛的背景下。该项目与公共卫生高度相关，因为 墨西哥裔移民儿童数量不断增加，而对其健康和发展的了解却有限。
