“…In terms of acculturation, maternal birth in a foreign country might represent preservation of cultural values, such as close family relationships, which are associated with lower stress and pregnancy anxiety and greater social support (Page, 2004;Campos et al, 2008). These benefits might play a significant role in promoting healthy pregnancies.…”

“…Foreign-born women, especially Hispanics, have more favorable birth outcomes than U.S.-born women, despite their having more demographic and socioeconomic risk factors (Crump et al, 1999;Carter-Pokras et al, 2008). Women born outside the United States tend to have more social support, engage in fewer risky behaviors during pregnancy such as tobacco and alcohol use, and have fewer medical risks (Leslie et al, 2006;Campos et al, 2008;McDonald et al, 2008;Ruiz et al, 2008). However, many of these advantageous factors and better pregnancy outcomes experienced by foreign-born women diminish with increasing acculturation in the U.S. and the adoption of new cultural beliefs and health behaviors (Abriado-Lanza et al, 2005;Carter-Pokras et al, 2008;Ruiz et al, 2008).…”

BACKGROUND:The prevalence of gastroschisis is increasing in many parts of the world, although the etiology is largely unexplained. Young maternal age has been the only consistently identified, strong risk factor. The objective of this study was to examine the role of maternal nativity in relation to other suspected risk factors for gastroschisis in Florida. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of singleton infants born in Florida from 1998-2003. Gastroschisis cases were identified from the Florida Birth Defects Registry. Demographic and perinatal data were obtained from birth records. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each factor of interest. RESULTS: The 6-year birth prevalence of gastroschisis was 3.26 per 10,000 live births, and the annual rate increased 41% during the study period. In addition to maternal age and marital status, maternal race/ethnicity and nativity were significantly associated with the risk of delivering an infant with gastroschisis. Compared with non-Hispanic white women, non-Hispanic black women had the lowest risk of delivering an infant with gastroschisis (PR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.13-0.26), followed by Hispanic women (PR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.43-0.83). Women born outside the United States were significantly less likely than U.S.-born women to deliver an infant with gastroschisis (PR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.41-0.86). CONCLUSIONS: Although young maternal age remains a strong significant risk factor for gastroschisis in Florida, other factors such as maternal race/ ethnicity and nativity could be important in explaining the increasing prevalence of gastroschisis.

“…Indeed, greater social support has been associated with higher infant birth weight for foreign-born, but not for U.S.-born, Latina women (Campos et al, 2008). Ethnic attachment has also been shown to decrease general acculturative stress, particularly among recent immigrants (Deaux, 2006).…”

Objective: This study tested whether an immigrant mother's perception of ethnic and language-based discrimination affects the health of her child (indexed by the child's frequency of sick visits to the doctor, adjusting for well-visits), as a function of her ethnic-group attachment and length of U.S. residency. Method: A community-based sample of 98 immigrant Dominican and Mexican mothers of normally developing 14-month-old children were interviewed. Mothers reported their perceived ethnic and language-based discrimination, degree of ethnic-group attachment, length of time in the United States, and frequency of their child's doctor visits for both illness and routine (healthy) exams. Results: Among more recent immigrants, greater perceived ethnic and language-based discrimination were associated with more frequent sick-child visits, but only among those reporting low ethnic-group attachment. The associations between both forms of perceived discrimination and sick-child visits were not observed among mothers reporting high ethnic-group attachment. Among more established immigrants, perceived language-based discrimination was associated with more frequent sick-child visits regardless of ethnic-group attachment. Conclusion: These results suggest that a Latina mother's experience with ethnic and language-based discrimination is associated with her child's health, as indicated by doctor visits for illness, but that strong ethnic-group attachment may mitigate this association among recent immigrants.

“…U.S. Latino culture has been shown to have these characteristics (e.g., Campos et al, 2008;Holloway et al, 2009;Sabogal et al, 1987). A large literature documents that the sociocultural contexts of Latinos in the United States and in Latin America emphasize accessible social support (e.g., Campos et al, 2008;Keefe, Padilla & Carlos, 1979;Lugo Steidel & Contreras, 2003;Sabogal et al, 1987;Triandis, Marin, Lisansky, & Betancourt, 1984), emotional positivity (e.g., Holloway et al, 2009;Ruby, Falk, Heine, & Villa, 2012;Triandis et al, 1984) and physical proximity (e.g., Desmond & López Turley, 2009;Keefe, 1984;Lugo Steidel & Contreras, 2003;Sabogal et al, 1987) in interdependent relationships. These sociocultural characteristics have been implicated in the better-than-expected mental health and longer life of immigrant U.S. Latinos, a pattern at odds with the group's substantial disadvantage of low socioeconomic standing and ethnic minority status (e.g., Abraído-Lanza, Dohrenwend, Ng-Mak, & Turner, 1999;Alegría et al, 2008).…”

“…If so, we reasoned that neuroticism's costs should be attenuated for members of these contexts. U.S. Latino culture fits these sociocultural characteristics (Campos et al, 2008;Holloway, Waldrip, & Ickes, 2009;Sabogal, Marin, Otero-Sabogal, VanOss Marin, & Perez-Stable, 1987). The goal of the present research was to test whether three key costs of high neuroticism-less support (Study 1), more distress (Study 2), and blunted cortisol reactivity (Study 2)-would be attenuated in U.S. Latinas.…”

Neuroticism is the heritable and stable personality trait defined by the tendency to experience negative emotion, be easily stressed, and slow to soothe. Neuroticism poses a risk for poor social and health outcomes that has been identified as a major public health concern. To date, factors that attenuate neuroticism’s costs have not been identified. The goal of this work was to test the hypothesis that the costs of neuroticism would be attenuated in sociocultural contexts that emphasize readily accessible social support, emotional positivity, and physical proximity in interdependent relationships. U.S. Latino culture fits these characteristics. Two studies, an online survey study (Study 1) and a laboratory study (Study 2), tested whether three key costs of high neuroticism—less support (Study 1), more distress (Study 2), and blunted cortisol reactivity (Study 2)—would be attenuated in U.S. Latinas relative to non-Latinas of European and East Asian cultural background. Consistent with previous research, neuroticism was associated with less perceived support, more distress, and blunted cortisol reactivity in non-Latina women of European and East Asian cultural background. For Latina women, however, these effects were attenuated. Latina women who were high in neuroticism continued to feel supported, were not as distressed, and their cortisol reactivity was less blunted. The role of sociocultural context for generating a better understanding of personality processes and the social malleability of neuroticism’s costs are discussed.
