Health Care Usage and Health Status of Immigrant Children: The Effects of Nativity versus Citizenship
研究发现，无论移民身份如何，移民家庭儿童每年至少看一次医生的概率较低，且缺乏固定就医场所，但自评健康较好；拉丁美洲、亚洲和非洲裔非公民儿童的健康结果最差。
This paper addresses the relationship between child access to and use of health services, perceived health, and parental nativity. Parental region of birth is identified to include the underlying cultural differences across immigrant groups. We found that children of immigrant families, regardless of their immigration status, have lower odds to visit the doctor at least once a year and lack of usual place of care. Conversely, this group has better outcomes with regard to their perceived health. Results hold when parental region of birth is included. Overall, non-citizen children of Latino American, Asian and African families have the worse outcomes.
