  • The relationship of immigrant status with access, utilization, and health status for children with asthma.

    Javier JR, Wise PH, Mendoza FS. Ambul Pediatr. 2007 Nov-Dec; 7 (6): 421-30

    Despite their high levels of poverty and less access to health care, children in immigrant families have better than expected health outcomes compared with children in nonimmigrant families. However, this observation has not been confirmed in children with chronic illness. The objective of this study was to determine whether children with asthma in immigrant families have better than expected health status than children with asthma in nonimmigrant families.
