- Overall, children of migrant parents face a diverse range of mental health issues, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), behavioral problems, emotional problems, and peer problems, with emotional problems being the most prominent.
- There were differences in mental health issues among different sample groups based on criteria such as male/female age of children, age at which parents migrated, and educational level.
