According to Child Trends, foreign-born, Hispanic, and poor teens are more likely than other teens to eat meals with their families.
Foreign-born teens are more likely than native-born teens with native-born parents to eat meals together six to seven times a week - 62 percent versus 40 percent, respectively.
Hispanic adolescents and children ages 12 to 17 and 6 to 11 are more likely than both non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic blacks to eat meals together six or seven days a week.
Fifty-five percent of teens living in poor households ate meals six to seven days a week together, compared with 44 percent of those living at 100 to 200 percent above the poverty level and 37 percent of those living at 200 percent or more above the poverty level.
