Abstract：
In the United States, there are millions of globally displaced children who travel with family to seek immigration relief, many of whom have experienced family separation or live under the constant threat of separation. Family separation constitutes a significant trauma with lifelong impacts on a child\'s mental health, physical health, and development. This review provides a summary of the various contexts within which family separation occurs as well as the current literature on long-term health sequelae. These include mental illness, externalizing behaviors, developmental challenges, family stability, economic impacts, and educational attainment. Given the number of newcomer children in the US, it is paramount that pediatric clinicians develop a holistic understanding of their needs and the effects of separation to provide evidence-based care and to advocate for the prevention of this trauma for all future migrant families.

在美国,全球有数百万流离失所的儿童与家人一起旅行寻求移民救济，他们中的许多人经历过家庭分离或生活在分离的持续威胁下。家庭分离构成了一个重大的创伤与终身影响儿童的心理健康，身体健康,和发展。这篇综述总结了发生家庭分离的各种情况以及有关长期健康后遗症的最新文献。这些包括精神疾病，外化行为，发展挑战，家庭稳定,经济影响,和教育程度。鉴于美国新移民儿童的数量，儿科临床医生必须全面了解他们的需求和分离的影响,以提供循证护理,并倡导为所有未来的移民家庭预防这种创伤.[佩迪亚特·安。2024；53（5）：e167-e170。].
