摘要

背景:自21世紀初起，台灣的新住民子女人數快速增加。但是，對於新移民子女兒童時期的健康研究仍相當缺乏。

研究目的: 本研究的目的有二，比較(1)新住民子女健康與本地子女健康是否有差異，(2)兩者間的差距是否會因家庭社經地位的不同而改變。

研究方法: 本研究資料來源為臺灣出生世代研究先驅調查。篩選出完成第一波(6個月)以及第四波調查(5歲)者，共計1617名樣本兒童進行分析。自變項為兒童身份，依變項為兒童健康，包含:一般健康與健康恢復力。

研究結果: 新住民子女之家庭社經地位與本地子女相比顯著較差。在一般健康上，新住民子女與本地子女並未有顯著差異，在健康恢復力方面，新住民子女顯著較差(OR=2.00，95％ CI=1.30-3.05)，控制了家庭社經地位後，勝算比下降並且顯著性減少(OR=1.74，95％ CI=1.08-2.80)。

結論: 整體而言，新住民子女的健康並未較本地子女差，家庭社經地位會影響其健康恢復力的表現。

Background: In Taiwan, the number of children born to foreign-born mother has rapidly increased since 21st century. However there is only little research on the health of these children.

Objective: The aims of this study are to examine (1) the health disparity between children of foreign-born mothers and native-born mothers and (2) whether the health gap would be varied with different socioeconomic status.

Method: Data was from Taiwan Birth Cohort Pilot Study. This study analyzed
1617 children who completed 6-month and 5-year surveys. The children were divided
into two groups: children of foreign-born mother and children of native-born mother.
Health variables are general health and health resilience.

Result: The family socioeconomic status of children with foreign-born mother was significantly lower than children of native-born mother. There is no significant difference between two groups in general health. Children of foreign-born mother had higher odds of poor health resilience(OR=2.00，95％ CI=1.30-3.05), after controlling for family socioeconomic status, the odds of poor health resilience became lower and less significant(OR=1.74，95％ CI=1.08-2.80)。

Conclusion: Children of foreign-born mother did not experience worse health than children of native-born mother. Family socioeconomic status is an important factor in influencing the disparity of health resilience between the two groups.
