DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): U.S.-born citizen-children of undocumented or illegal immigrants are often the unintended victims of deportation policies. When deported, parents must make critical decisions: to take their citizen-children with them or leave them behind in the care of others. But, what happens to the psychosocial functioning of citizen-children who have left the U.S. or remained behind after immigration-enforcement actions are taken against their parents? To begin answering these questions, this R21 will (a) develop the methods and test their feasibility in recruiting, interviewing, and following children affected by their parents' deportation; and (b) collect preliminary data to develop detailed psychological and social profiles of how children fare during a six- month period as they adjust to their circumstances. A team of researchers from the U.S. and Mexico, will conduct in-depth interviews and clinical assessments of 60 children between 10 and 12 years of age spread across three groups: 20 who accompanied their deported parents to Mexico; 20 who remained in the U.S. when parents were deported; and a comparison group of 20 citizen-children whose undocumented parents are not being deported at the time. The developmental-exploratory aims are to: I. Develop procedures for a bi-national (U.S.-Mexico) exploratory, longitudinal project on citizen-children. II. Develop and test in-depth interviews and clinical measures to be used at 2 data-collection points. III. Compare the experiences and clinical profiles of citizen-children in all three groups. Findings and experience gained through this project will set the basis for a rigorous R01 application that will, together with the present project, inform developmental science and influence national policy. This project aligns with NICHD's mission "that all children have the chance to achieve their full potential for healthy and productive lives, free from disease or disability, and to ensure the health, productivity, independence, and well-being of all people." Specifically, NICHD's Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch urges exploration of why people migrate, how it reshapes them, and how movement affects children's behavior problems. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Reports and calls-to-action from some of our nation's leading institutions underscore the significance of this project on psychosocial functioning of citizen-children. NIH has recognized for years the influences of family interactions on children's mental health conditions. Healthy People 2020 notes the need for studying the social conditions affecting children. The Institute of Medicine (2009) states authoritatively that children's mental disorders are too commonplace and have life-long effects on them, their families and communities. Institute of Medicine.

描述(申请人提供)：在美国出生的公民-无证或非法移民的子女往往是驱逐政策的意外受害者。当被驱逐出境时，父母必须做出关键决定：是带着他们的公民子女一起走，还是把他们留在别人的照顾下。但是，在针对父母采取移民执法行动后，离开美国或留在美国的公民儿童的心理社会功能会发生什么？为了开始回答这些问题，R21将：(A)开发招募、面试和跟踪受父母驱逐影响的儿童的方法并测试其可行性；以及(B)收集初步数据，以制定详细的心理和社会概况，了解儿童在六个月期间适应他们的情况。一组来自美国和墨西哥的研究人员将对60名年龄在10岁到12岁之间的儿童进行深入访谈和临床评估，这些儿童分布在三个小组：20名陪同被驱逐出境的父母前往墨西哥的儿童；20名父母被驱逐出境时仍留在美国的儿童；以及20名公民-其无证父母当时没有被驱逐出境的儿童。发展探索性目标是：1.为公民-儿童两国(美国-墨西哥)探索性纵向项目制定程序。开发和测试将在2个数据收集点使用的深度访谈和临床措施。比较三组市民-儿童的经历和临床特征。通过该项目获得的结果和经验将为R01的严格应用奠定基础，该应用将与本项目一起，为发展科学提供信息并影响国家政策。该项目与NICHD的使命相一致，即所有儿童都有机会充分发挥他们的潜力，过健康和富有成效的生活，不受疾病或残疾的影响，并确保所有人的健康、生产力、独立性和福祉。具体地说，NICHD的人口和行为科学分部敦促探索人们为什么迁移，它如何重塑他们，以及流动如何影响儿童的行为问题。 与公共健康相关：我国一些主要机构的报告和行动号召强调了这一项目对公民-儿童心理社会功能的重要性。美国国立卫生研究院多年来一直认识到家庭互动对儿童心理健康状况的影响。《健康人2020》指出，有必要研究影响儿童的社会条件。医学研究所(2009)权威地指出，儿童精神障碍太常见了，对他们、他们的家庭和社区都有终生影响。医学研究所。(2009)。预防年轻人的精神、情绪和行为障碍：进展和可能性。华盛顿特区：美国国家科学院。
