Immigrant Generational Status and Developmental Problems among Prematurely Born Children.

A Comparison of Birth Outcomes Among Black, Hispanic, and Black Hispanic Women.

Background: While non-Hispanic Black populations tend to be disproportionately affected by adverse reproductive outcomes, Hispanic populations tend to demonstrate healthier birth outcomes, regardless of socioeconomic background. Little is known about birth outcomes for women who are both Black and Hispanic. We examined whether birth outcomes and risk factors for women who are both Black and Hispanic most closely resemble those of women who are only Black or Hispanic and also compared these outcomes to those for Whites.
