Maternal and Infant Health of Mexican Immigrants in Chicago: A Comparative Analysis of Local and National Data Presented: Atlanta, GA, Population Association of America Annual Meetings, May 2002 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Ethnic Groups/Ethnicity; Ethnic Studies; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Immigrants; Infants; Migration; Mothers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper investigates the mechanisms influencing maternal and child health by examining the effect of the migration process on the health of the Mexican-origin (Mexican American and Mexican immigrant) population living in South Chicago. Specifically, this study examines the existence of the epidemiological paradox: the empirical finding that health outcomes of infants born to Mexican-origin women are better than or equal to the health outcomes of infants born to U.S.-born white women. This paper also examines the less-studied finding: the health outcomes of the Mexican-origin population deteriorate with increased duration in the United States. Data analyzed comes from a study of recently pregnant Mexican-origin women of single and multiple parity from South Chicago. The study contains survey and medical record data on maternal and infant health, socioeconomic, and behavioral variables. This paper provides a comparative analysis of this data with such national datasets as the HHANES, NHANES, NLSY, and NSFG. |

Using Couple Models to Investigate the Determinants of Adult Mortality Presented: New York, NY, Population Association of America Meetings, March 1999 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Assets; Education; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration; Mortality; Occupational Status; Pairs (also see Siblings); Variables, Independent - Covariate; Widows Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper develops and applies models for the multivariate analysis of survival processes when observations are naturally paired. These models include bivariate survival models, paired failure models, and multistate hazard models. These models offer alternative ways of estimating effects of covariates on survival within pairs while controlling for unobserved factors shared by members of the pair. We apply these models to the assessment of socioeconomic differentials of mortality of husbands and wives in the US using the latest release version of the National Longitudinal Survey of Men. The models enable us to estimate common, cross-spouse, and within-couple effects of education, occupational status, assets and other socioeconomic determinants as well as the impact of bereavement and widowing effects. |
