Association between Generational Status and Smoking Behaviors before and during Pregnancy among Hispanic Women Addictive Behaviors 104 (May 2020): 106310. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306460319310780 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Hispanic Studies; Immigrants; Pre/post Natal Behavior; Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes; Smoking (see Cigarette Use) Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether immigration generational status predicts maternal smoking behaviors before and during pregnancy among Hispanic women. Methods: Data on pregnancies in National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 were used. Current study sample consists of Hispanic women (15-24 years) reporting pregnancy between 1979 and 2014 (n = 616). Data on birthplaces of the respondent and their parents were used to determine generation status. Maternal smoking behaviors before and during pregnancy were self-reported. Data were analyzed using weighted covariate-adjusted logistic regression models. Results: There were 24% first-generation, 20% second-generation, and 56% third or higher generation Hispanic women in the sample. Majority of participants were married (72%), with a high school degree or more (69%), and of Mexican origin (56%). After controlling for covariates, first generation Hispanic women had lower likelihood of smoking prior to (OR=0.40, p =0.009) and during pregnancy (OR=0.35, p =0.007) compared to third or higher generation women. The second-generation women had lower likelihood of smoking during pregnancy (OR=0.46, p =0.038) compared to third or higher generation women. |
