The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $160,400 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to study the impact of U.S. immigration policies on dietary acculturation and childhood obesity among children of Mexican immigrants. The 2-year project (8/9/2024 - 7/31/2026) will analyze nationally-representative data linked to state and local immigration policy data to apply quasi-experimental and longitudinal methods. The research aims to examine how specific immigration enforcement programs and state-level immigrant inclusion/exclusion policies affect child diet and obesity rates among Mexican-American children and other immigrant and U.S.-born comparison groups. The anticipated findings are expected to advance understanding of structural determinants of obesity disparities in this vulnerable population and potentially inform public health interventions.
