AB  - Racial discrimination and racism are recognized as determinants of health for 
      adults. Less is understood regarding the influence of discrimination targeted 
      towards parents, the family, or the cultural and children's health. Data from the 
      New Canadian Children and Youth Study (NCCYS) are used in this paper. The NCCYS 
      is a national, longitudinal study of children whose families settled in urban 
      centers of Canada. We analyzed data from individuals who settled in the 
      metropolitan Vancouver area from six ethnic communities: Mainland China, Hong 
      Kong, the Philippines, Iran, Afghanistan, and the Punjab who were interviewed at 
      two times, approximately 2 years apart. Data were collected on perceived 
      parental, family, and cultural discrimination. Our dependent variable was 
      parent-reported child health status. Over time, perceived parental discrimination 
      and perceived family discrimination decreased; and both forms of discrimination 
      had a positive effect on child health. In contrast, perceived cultural 
      discrimination increased over time and had a negative effect on child health at 
      both times. Different forms of discrimination have different effects on child 
      health. Racial discrimination is complex. Its influence on either increasing 
      family cohesion, and thereby leading to improved health, or increasing stress, 
      thereby leading to poorer health needs to be explored further.
