Participants included 225 low-income women of reproductive age attending a WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) clinic (50% Latina immigrants and 50% non-Latinas). Latina immigrants were less educated, less likely to have health insurance, and more likely to be married or living with a partner than non-Latinas (ps<0.05). All non-Latinas had a Pap smear in the past compared to 81.3% of Latina immigrants (p<0.001). Latina immigrants displayed significantly less knowledge regarding cervical cancer than non-Latinas (ps<0.01). Latina immigrants tended to display culturally based knowledge and beliefs regarding cervical cancer and screening that may influence getting a Pap smear.","PeriodicalId":84997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immigrant health","volume":"5 3","pages":"119-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1023/a:1023939801991","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40826881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information on the epidemiology of H. pylori infection in pregnant women who reside along the U.S.-Mexico border is critical to understanding the dynamics of current H. pylori transmission patterns within families along the border. We describe the epidemiology of H. pylori infection in pregnant women recruited from Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) clinics in El Paso, Texas, and Mexican Social Security Institute maternal-child clinics in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, from April 1998 to October 2000. We interviewed participants regarding environmental factors and tested their serum for IgG antibodies. We used logistic regression to estimate associations between environmental exposures and the odds of H. pylori prevalence. Definitive serological tests were available from 751 women. Seroprevalence was 74% in Juarez women and 56% in El Paso women. Prevalence increased with age, crowding, poor sanitation, and residence in Mexico, decreased with education, and was not associated with the woman's number of living children. In the U.S.-Mexico border region, women of reproductive age have a high prevalence of H. pylori infection, apparently related to poor socioeconomic conditions.","PeriodicalId":84997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immigrant health","volume":"5 3","pages":"99-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1023/a:1023935701082","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40826879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contrary to previous work, the present study directly explored migrant farmworkers' own perceptions of what is difficult in their lives. The purposes of the present study were to qualitatively explore, from a phenomenological standpoint, the stressors associated with living as a migrant farmworker in the Midwest United States; and to determine the stressors that were most strongly related to symptoms of anxiety and depression. The findings indicated that 18 stressors were commonly experienced by the migrant farmworkers and that the farmworkers experienced overall elevated levels of anxiety and depression. A number of stressors that were not previously reported in the literature were identified. The stressors of \"rigid work demands\" and \"poor housing conditions\" were significantly associated with higher levels of anxiety and \"low family income/living in poverty\" and \"rigid work demands\" were significantly associated with depression. Implications of findings and prevention strategies are discussed.","PeriodicalId":84997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immigrant health","volume":" ","pages":"75-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1023/a:1022955825650","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40826876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
