Method: Published articles from 1995-2014 were searched using databases such as PubMED, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Science Direct and Social Sciences showing abstracts, full texts and reports on the health-related status of migrant and biracial children. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 40 qualified articles were included in the review process.
