“…Health care (22.6%) and social service (16.7%) industries were the most common employment segments, and typically reported annual earnings in the range of $21,001-35,000 (34.4%) or $35,001-45,000 (21.5%), indicating higher earnings than would be expected for the Hmong population generally. Our findings were consistent with that of extant research regarding the negative effects of early marriage on the income and educational attainment of women in general (Astone & Upchurch, 1994;Burden & Klerman, 1984;Glick, Ruf, White, & Goldscheider, 2005;Howell & Frese, 1982;Lowe & Witt, 1984;McLaughlin, Grady, Billy, Landale, & Winges, 1986;Moore et al, 1993;Sharlin, 1998;Teti & Lamb, 1989;Upchurch, 1993;Vang and Bogenschutz, in press). Age at marriage was significantly related to educational attainment ( 2 (6, N ¼ 149) ¼ 17.16, p ¼ .009).…”

An online survey was completed by Hmong women in the United States (n ¼ 186). The survey was distributed via listserves and websites frequently used by Hmong women, and solicited information about marital factors, presence and intensity of depressive symptoms, and socio-demographic circumstances. Findings: The findings of this article indicate a significant relationship between marital abuse and depression among women married as teenagers when compared to nonabused women who married in adulthood. Excessive worry and feeling like everything takes great effort were the two most frequently reported indicators of depression reported by Hmong women in this sample. Additional marital and socio-demographic factors are explored in their relationship with depressive presentation. Applications: These findings suggest that mental health practitioners working with Hmong women may need to be particularly attuned to issues of marital stressors related to traditional marriage practices and cultural stressors.

“…Those students who during the 9th grade had an absenteeism rate under 10070, or 7 days, per semester and had had no academic failures were considered low risk. These criteria were used as the basis for defining high-and low-risk status based on evidence that poor school achievement (course failures) and repeating grades (Howell & Frese, 1982) have been found to predict dropping out of school. Age matches were made to within 9 months.…”

Hispanic high school students at low or high risk for drop out were followed up 1 year after their expected graduation date. Low‐risk students completed school at a significantly higher rate than high‐risk students. In addition, analysis of original predictor variables indicated graduated students' greater satisfaction with school compared with nongraduates. Implications for promoting high‐risk students' successful high school completion are discussed.

“…Similarly, other studies have found that regardless of their race/ethnicity, middle class students had higher school achievement than White students who came from working and underclass backgrounds. Likewise, Howell and Frese (1982) illustrated that dropout rates for White students are actually higher than those for minorities, after controlling for SES. There is no agreement at this point as to how to interpret these contradictory findings, partly because for minority students in the United States, race/ ethnicity and SES are deeply linked.…”
