DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to carry out, for the first time, a comprehensive longitudinal survey of new legal immigrants to the United States based on nationally representative samples of the administrative records of immigrants newly admitted to permanent residence. We recently completed a successful baseline round, NIS-2003-1, interviewing 8,573 sampled adult immigrants, 810 sponsor-parents of sampled child immigrants, and spouses of both groups, and assessing their children. We propose here a follow-up round that will re- interview baseline respondents and their spouses and assess their children. The results obtained from the baseline have informed all elements of the design for the second round, NIS-2003-2. To monitor adaptation over time, our baseline sample must be interviewed at regular intervals over the life cycle. To assess the immigrants' legacy, information is also obtained about and from their children, both the immigrant children they brought with them and the U.S. citizen children born to them in the United States. We are also putting into the public domain a public-use data base from these surveys that will provide an important source of information to assess U.S. immigration laws, the assimilation and experiences of immigrants, and the impact of immigration in the United States. These data provide prospective and retrospective information of pre-immigration education, work, health, migration, marriage and fertility histories for newly-arrived immigrants. They also provide useful information on health, on economic status, on schooling, and on children's well-being from a population heterogeneous in English language abilities and native languages. Demographic trends suggest that the health status of immigrants and their descendants will play an increasingly central role in shaping health outcomes of the American people. Identifying the determinants of the original health selection of migrants and the forces that shape health paths following immigration is critical to understanding ethnic health differences. The NIS will put into the public-domain data that can be used to follow the health trajectories of new immigrants.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们首次提出对美国新合法移民进行全面的纵向调查，该调查基于具有全国代表性的新永久居留移民行政记录样本。我们最近成功地完成了一轮基线调查，即NIS-2003-1，对8573名抽样成年移民、810名抽样儿童移民的担保父母以及两组的配偶进行了访谈，并对他们的子女进行了评估。我们在此建议进行后续调查，对基线调查对象及其配偶进行重新访谈，并对其子女进行评估。从基线获得的结果为第二轮NIS-2003-2设计的所有要素提供了信息。为了监测一段时间内的适应情况，我们的基线样本必须在整个生命周期中定期接受采访。为了评估移民的遗产，还从他们的子女那里获得了信息，包括他们带来的移民子女和他们在美国所生的美国公民子女。我们还将从这些调查中获得的一个公共使用数据库放入公共领域，这将为评估美国移民法、移民的同化和经历以及移民对美国的影响提供重要的信息来源。这些数据提供了新移民移民前教育、工作、健康、移民、婚姻和生育史的前瞻性和回顾性信息。它们还提供了关于健康、经济状况、学校教育和儿童福祉的有用信息，这些信息来自英语语言能力和母语不同的人口。人口趋势表明，移民及其后代的健康状况将在塑造美国人民的健康结果方面发挥越来越重要的作用。确定移民最初健康选择的决定因素和移民后形成健康路径的力量对于理解种族健康差异至关重要。国家情报院将把可用于跟踪新移民健康轨迹的数据纳入公共领域。
