Project Summary/Abstract Over the past decade, up to 1,000,000 US citizen children have experienced the trauma of parental deportation and family separation, and an additional 4,000,000 children with undocumented parents face the risk of parental deportation. These children experience extreme adversity as a result of their parents’ undocumented status. This adversity will translate to worse health, educational, and economic outcomes across the life course. Immigration enforcement—the arrest, detention, and deportation of immigrants from the United States—exacerbates these health risks. Local policies that expand immigrants’ rights and access to services and material resources (immigrant integration policies) and that limit local government officials’ involvement in immigration enforcement (sanctuary policies) could be important tools for promoting health for these children. Little evidence exists for the effectiveness of these policies. The main goal of this study is to evaluate whether local sanctuary and integration policies improve health care access, physical health, and mental health for children with immigrant parents. A methodological innovation of this study is the use of a new comprehensive, longitudinal, nationwide database of state, county, and municipal sanctuary and integration policies, compiled by the research team. This database will be merged with a nationally-representative sample from the 2005–2019 National Health Interview Survey consisting of approximately 35,000 US-born children with likely-undocumented, noncitizen parents from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. This study will use rigorous quasi-experimental methods to test the following hypotheses: 1) Passage of sanctuary and integration policies is associated with higher levels of health insurance coverage, better access to preventive medical and dental care, fewer emotional difficulties, better parent-rated health, and lower rates of disability for children with likely-undocumented parents [Specific Aim 1]. 2) Children living in jurisdictions with sanctuary and integration policies will not be as negatively impacted by immigration enforcement, compared to children living in jurisdictions without such policies [Specific Aim 2]. First, this study will use a difference-in-differences design to examine whether these outcomes improve when jurisdictions pass sanctuary and integration policies. Next, a moderation analysis will be conducted to examine whether the health impacts of immigration enforcement vary across jurisdictions with and without sanctuary and integration policies. This study will produce rigorous translational research that will help policymakers, practitioners, and immigrant-serving organizations choose effective policies to promote health equity for immigrant families. This will be the first study to examine the health impacts of county and municipal policies that expand immigrants’ rights and limit local involvement in immigration enforcement. This study will also be the first to examine how immigrant policies at multiple levels interact with immigration enforcement to impact health.

项目摘要/摘要 在过去的十年中，多达1,000,000名美国公民儿童经历了父母驱逐出境的创伤 和家庭分离，另外有4,000,000名没有证件父母的儿童面临父母的风险 驱逐出境。这些孩子由于父母的无证件身份而经历了极端的广告。这 逆境将转化为整个生活过程中的健康，教育和经济成果。移民 执法 - 逮捕，拘留和驱逐出境的移民 - 健康风险。扩大移民权利和获得服务和物质资源的权利和访问权限的当地政策 （移民融合政策）并限制地方政府官员参与移民执法 （庇护政策）可能是促进这些儿童健康的重要工具。几乎没有证据表明 这些政策的有效性。这项研究的主要目的是评估当地的避难所和整合 政策改善了有移民父母的儿童的医疗保健，身体健康和心理健康。一个 这项研究的方法论创新是使用新的综合，纵向，国家数据库的使用 研究小组编写的州，县和市政庇护和整合政策。此数据库 将与2005 - 2019年国家健康访谈调查中的全国代表性样本合并 由大约35,000名美国出生的儿童组成，可能有可能是墨西哥的非公民父母 萨尔瓦多，危地马拉和洪都拉斯。这项研究将使用严格的准实验方法来测试 以下假设：1）通过避难所和整合政策与更高的健康水平有关 保险范围，更好地获得预防性医疗和牙科护理，更少的情感困难，更好 父母评分的健康和可能有据可查的父母的儿童的残疾率较低[特定目标1]。 2）居住在司法管辖区拥有庇护所和整合政策的儿童不会受到负面影响 与居住在没有此类政策的司法管辖区的儿童相比，移民执法[具体目标2]。第一的， 这项研究将使用差异差异设计来检查这些结果是否有所改善 司法管辖区通过了庇护所和整合政策。接下来，将进行审核分析以检查 移民执法的健康影响是否在有或没有庇护所的司法管辖区和 整合政策。这项研究将产生严格的翻译研究，以帮助决策者， 从业者和移民服务组织选择有效的政策来促进健康平等 移民家庭。这将是第一个研究县和文化政策对健康影响的研究 扩大移民的权利并限制当地参与移民执法。这项研究也将是第一个 研究如何在多个层面的移民政策与移民执法相互作用以影响健康。
