“…Mirroring findings from research conducted with other ethnic groups [ 43 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 94 ], findings from studies included in this review showed that early introduction of solids is a common practice [ 54 , 56 , 57 , 60 , 61 ], and that cultural beliefs might influence this practice [ 57 , 60 , 61 ]. Furthermore, a few of reviewed studies showed that some mothers were not knowledgeable about the long-term benefits of breastfeeding, which may result in the early introduction of solids [ 54 , 56 , 57 ].…”

“…Maternal infant feeding practices are influential on infant’ and child’s growth, and could possibly explain obesity rates across generations [ 30 , 33 , 39 , 83 ]. A small, but increasing body of research conducted primarily in Western countries, has examined infant feeding practices of ethnic minority immigrant mothers [ 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 ], but limited attention has been paid to Chinese immigrant mothers, a large and growing group in several countries. Therefore, the purpose of this integrative review was to identify and synthesize information from studies examining infant feeding practices conducted among Chinese immigrant mothers in order to describe and highlight factors influencing infant feeding practices of this immigrant group that may be used to inform the design of interventions.…”

Infant Feeding Beliefs, Attitudes, Knowledge and Practices of Chinese Immigrant Mothers: An Integrative Review of the Literature

Chinese are a fast-growing immigrant population group in several parts of the world (e.g., Australia, Canada, Europe, Southeast Asia, United States). Research evidence suggests that compared to non-Hispanic whites, individuals of Asian-origin including Chinese are at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes at a lower body mass index (BMI). These risks may be possibly due to genetic differences in body composition and metabolic responses. Despite the increasing numbers of Chinese children growing up in immigrant families and the increasing prevalence of obesity among Chinese, little research has been focused on children of Chinese immigrant families. This integrative review synthesizes the evidence on infant feeding beliefs, attitudes, knowledge and practices of Chinese immigrant mothers; highlights limitations of available research; and offers suggestions for future research. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we searched four electronic academic/research databases (CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO, and PubMed) to identify peer-reviewed, full-text papers published in English between January 2000 and September 2017. Only studies with mothers 18+ years old of normally developing infants were included. Of the 797 citations identified, 15 full-text papers were retrieved and 11 studies (8 cross-sectional studies, 3 qualitative studies) met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Reviewed studies revealed high initiation rates of breastfeeding, but sharp declines in breastfeeding rates by six months of age. In addition, reviewed studies revealed that the concomitantly use of breast milk and formula, and the early introduction of solid foods were common. Finally, reviewed studies identified several familial and socio-cultural influences on infant feeding beliefs and practices that may increase risk of overweight and obesity during infancy and early childhood among Chinese children of immigrant families. Nonetheless, as only 11 studies were identified and because the majority of studies (n = 8) were conducted in Australia, additional research including longitudinal studies, and studies conducted in countries with large Chinese immigrant population are needed to further identify and understand influences on Chinese immigrant mothers’ beliefs, attitudes, and practices related to infant feeding that may increase risk of child overweight and obesity. This information is needed to develop interventions tailored to the beliefs and needs of this fast-growing immigrant group and aimed at promoting healthy infant feeding practices to prevent childhood overweight and obesity.

“…CHWs connected participants to needed services even when not a stated objective of the intervention. For example, within a breastfeeding intervention for Latina mothers, participants reported an increased understanding of where to get help for post-partum depression because the CHW shared her knowledge of relevant services (38).…”

Community health workers (CHWs) are increasingly involved as members of health intervention research teams. Given that CHWs are engaged in a variety of research roles, there is a need for better understanding of the ways in which CHWs are incorporated in research and the potential benefits. This scoping review synthesizes evidence regarding the kinds of health research studies involving CHWs, CHWs' roles in implementing health intervention research, their positionality on research teams, and how their involvement benefits health intervention research. The scoping review includes peer-reviewed health intervention articles published between 2008-2018 in the U.S. A search of PubMed, Embase and CINAHL identified a total of 3,129 titles and abstracts, 266 of which met the inclusion criteria and underwent full text review. A total of 130 articles were identified for a primary analysis of the research and the level of CHWs involvement, and of these 23 articles were included in a secondary analysis in which CHWs participated in 5 or more intervention research phases. The scoping review found that CHWs are involved across the spectrum of research, including developing research questions, intervention design, participant recruitment, intervention implementation, data collection, data analysis, and results dissemination. CHW positionality as research partners varied greatly across studies, and they are not uniformly integrated within all stages of research. The majority of these studies employed a community based participatory research (CBPR) approach, and CBPR studies included CHWs as research partners in more phases of research relative to non-CBPR studies. This scoping review documents specific benefits from the inclusion of CHWs as partners in health intervention research and identifies strategies to engage CHWs as research partners and to ensure that CHW contributions to research are well-documented.

“…These women may be most in jeopardy of developing the health disparities affecting this population. Community-based participatory methods, which include building strong relationships with communities, empowering communities to determine their own areas of need, and establishing priorities for health concerns, have demonstrated success with underserved Latina women in the US for issues such as HIV/AIDS (e.g., Rhodes et al, 2012), nutrition (e.g., Wieland et al, 2012), cancer screening (e.g., Larkey et al, 2012), maternal health (Rios-Ellis, Nguyen-Rodriguez, Espinoza, Galvez, & Garcia-Vega, 2015), and access to high-quality health care (Moreno, Rodríguez, Lopez, Bholat, & Dowling, 2009). We also suggest potential novel skill building areas (e.g., offering employment assistance through resume workshops and job skill building) to inform these interventions.…”

We examined social ecological predictors of health care utilization among Latina young adults during their initial year after immigration to the United States. Participants were 530 Latinas (ages 18–23) who immigrated to Miami-Dade County, Florida, 11.5 months before assessment. We used multiple logistic regression to test predictors of health care usage. Approximately 36% utilized care. Dimensions of marianismo differentially associated with usage. Usage also was more likely for participants who reported more social network attachment, better health, greater neighborhood cohesion, and possessed a job and health insurance. Findings inform interventions to increase health care usage globally among women after immigration.
