Abstract：
One in four children in the US grow up in immigrant families, and 55% of children in immigrant families have a parent who speaks and understands English less than \"very well\". While the number of research studies that is focused on children in immigrant families (CIF) has increased, CIF particularly those that communicate in a language other than English (LOE) are frequently excluded from research. We reviewed studies including \"children in immigrant families and the United States\" in PubMed from 2017-2023, and categorized them as qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods or community engaged research. We review observations and offer recommendations for research to promote the health and well-being of children in immigrant families including: using strengths-based frameworks; prioritizing the inclusion of families who speak languages other than English; amending reporting standards for qualitative studies to include guidance on reporting methods for projects in which research teams and study participants speak different languages from one another; and incorporating methods to identify people who have experienced migration in large national surveys and cohort studies. We recommend research with and inclusive of CIF to consider additional areas for growth in cross-sector collaborations, interventions and clinical trials, and training and support for investigators.
摘要：
美国每四个孩子中就有一个在移民家庭中长大，在移民家庭中，55%的孩子的父母说英语和懂英语的程度低于“非常好”。尽管针对移民家庭儿童（CIF）的研究数量有所增加，CIF，特别是那些以英语（LOE）以外的语言进行交流的人经常被排除在研究之外。我们回顾了2017-2023年在PubMed中的“移民家庭和美国儿童”研究，并将其归类为定性的，定量,混合方法或社区参与研究。我们审查了观察结果并为研究提供了建议，以促进移民家庭中儿童的健康和福祉，包括：使用基于优势的框架；优先考虑使用英语以外的语言的家庭；修改定性研究的报告标准，以包括研究团队和研究参与者彼此讲不同语言的项目的报告方法指南；并在大型国家调查和队列研究中纳入识别经历过移民的人的方法。我们建议对CIF进行包容性研究，以考虑跨部门合作的其他增长领域，干预措施和临床试验，以及对调查人员的培训和支持。
