    AbstractImmigrant and refugee children are at increased risk for physical, developmental, and behavioral health challenges. This article provides an overview of physical, developmental, and behavioral health considerations for immigrant and refugee children within an ecological framework that highlights family, community, and sociocultural influences. Experiences and exposures relevant to immigrant and refugee children are discussed. Clinical pearls are provided for topics of chronic disease, nutrition, infectious disease, developmental screening, and mental health assessment. Interdisciplinary and community partnerships are emphasized as a means to decrease barriers to care and facilitate family navigation of complex social, educational, and health care systems.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
