Outline of Final Research Achievements	It found that as the length of time foreign children and students in Japan have stayed in Japan, their career paths, relationships with parents, bullying, and other factors have led to an increase in physical ailments and threats to their health. They face a greater barrier to learning languages than learning Japanese. Moreover, since many children have problems with their immigration status, they are worried about their futures, and even more than the health problems of children in Japan, there are concerns that this will have a negative impact on their mental health. Therefore, we believe that the following efforts are urgently needed as part of the role of school health. ① All teachers must understand and consider the mental and physical health of foreign children and students residing in Japan. ② Developing school nurses with a global perspective・Support for mental and physical health management according to the growth stage of children with different cultures

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	これまで在日外国人の子どもの健康に関する研究において、子ども本人を対象とした研究は殆ど実施されていない。本研究の意義は、教育機関が在日外国人の子どもの健全育成へ向けた健康支援の方策を検討する一助になり得ることである。また、それらを通してWHOが提唱するヘルス・フォー・オール「すべての人に健康を」、SDGsのゴール3（すべての人に健康と福祉を）及び4（質の高い教育をみんなに）、国が推進する多文化共生社会の実現に貢献できると考える。
