Children born outside of the US are vulnerable to increased morbidity due to the lack of awareness of their migration journey and indications for screening/tx. @AliceCLehman outlined some of the definitions that are often used

3/
A key point from @AliceCLehman: refugee children are provided predeparture screening/treatment, which is coordinated with the International Office of Migration -- but immigrant/migrant children do not always undergo the same screens; may have variable predeparture environments

4/ Here are images of the domestic or arrival screening from the episode graphic as well as the @AmerAcadPeds Immigrant Child Health Toolkit

5/
Here is a Peds in Review article on caring for refugee children as well. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26232463/

Your local health departments or institutions/clinics may also have resources for specifically providing care to these families. For example, here is the page from the MN Dept of Health health.state.mn.us/communities/ri…
