Authors: Chang Wang, MD, Mary Sun, BS, MS, Megan Lin, MD, Stephanie Wu, BS, Timothy R. Rice, MD

Native-born children, also referred to as second- and third-generation immigrants, often face ethnicity-based stressors in both familial and societal contexts that can manifest in intergenerational conflict.
