Negative acculturation in sleep duration among Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans.

Negative acculturation, the increase in high-risk profiles as immigrants live longer in the U.S., is found for a range of health behaviors and outcomes among Latino populations.

Engendering migrant networks: the case of Mexican migration.

This article compares the impact of family migrant and destination-specific networks on international and internal migration. We find that migrant networks are more important for international moves than for internal moves and that female networks are more important than male networks for moves within Mexico. For moves to the United States, male migrant networks are more important for prospective male migrants than for female migrants, and female migrant networks lower the odds of male migration, but significantly increase female migration.
