Summary: This study examines health, well being and involvement in risk behaviours of immigrant children across twelve European countries, using data collected in the 2006 Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children study. Findings suggest that immigrant children are significantly more likely to live in less affluent families, but no other cross-national patterns are evident. The lack of clear patterns suggests that no one-size-fits-all programmes are suitable for working with immigrant children. There is a need for more specific research to increase our understanding of the needs and experiences of migrant children in Europe.

Abstract
Summary: This study examines health, well being and involvement in risk behaviours of immigrant children across twelve European countries, using data collected in the 2006 Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children study. Findings suggest that immigrant children are significantly more likely to live in less affluent families, but no other cross-national patterns are evident. The lack of clear patterns suggests that no one-size-fits-all programmes are suitable for working with immigrant children. There is a need for more specific research to increase our understanding of the needs and experiences of migrant children in Europe.File in questo prodotto:
