Abstract

15.7 million U.S. children, including more than 1.5 million New York State children, live in immigrant families. These newest arrivals are becoming a critical component of the changing demographics of the state's--and nation's--evolving population. A complex set of economic, social and cultural factors affect these youngsters and their families, which, in turn, can have an impact on the delivery of health services.
