“…The effect is the "cleanest" in Mexican American women. Among Mexican American women, acculturation is associated with lower birth weight (19,22,27,56,129,132,156), prematurity (22,35,156), and teenage (<17 years) births (29). Cobas found that acculturation appears to affect LBW status indirectly through smoking and dietary intake (27).…”

Key Words health outcomes, Hispanic, assimilation, health behaviors, health care use ■ Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the concept of acculturation and reviews existing evidence about the possible relationships between acculturation and selected health and behavioral outcomes among Latinos. The effect of acculturation on Latino health is complex and not well understood. In certain areas-substance abuse, dietary practices, and birth outcomes-there is evidence that acculturation has a negative effect and that it is associated with worse health outcomes, behaviors, or perceptions. In others-health care use and self-perceptions of health-the effect is mostly in the positive direction. Although the literature, to date, on acculturation lacks some breadth and methodological rigor, the public health significance of findings in areas in which there is enough evidence justifies public health action. We conclude with a set of general recommendations in two areas-public health practice and research-targeted to public health personnel in academia, community-based settings, and government agencies.

“…Ve zkoumaných studiích, které tak činí, je migrace vymezena základním pohybem směřujícím k překročení národních hranic [Essén 2001;Quintanilha et al 2016;Urquia et al 2010a] a je charakterizována jako tranzice [Callister, Birkhead 2002;Collins, Zimmerman, Howard 2011;Zeitlin et al 2004]. Popřípadě ji výzkumníci rozlišují podle příčin a motivací [Adanu, Johnson 2009;Balaam et al 2013;Janevic, Savitz, Janevic 2011].…”

“…Podle převažující akulturační teze si migrantky po delším pobytu v cílové zemi a v souladu s tím, jak se integrují do nové společnosti, osvojují místní životní návyky, které zahrnují ale i zdraví škodlivé praktiky jako konzumaci alkoholu a smažených jídel a také kouření [Rumbaut, Weeks 1996;Wingate, Alexander 2006;Urquia, O'Campo, Heaman 2012;Callister, Birkhead 2002;Cervantes, Keith, Wyshak 1999]. Zambrana et al [1997] pak upozorňují i na to, že vyšší míra integrace do nové společnosti se pojí s vyšší mírou prenatálního stresu, jenž je spojován s předčasným porodem.…”

When the experiences of migration and becoming a mother intersect, the context and conditions of this have implications for the health of the women and their children. This article presents an overview of social-science research on health and pregnancy among migrant women and on the perinatal and postpartum care they receive. Research on 124 studies on this subject revealed that there are three main themes associated with maternal health in this context: (1) How women are defined and categorised as migrants: This is often based on a single indicator, country of origin or birth. This creates a simplified and homogenising category that then also serves as the basis for the use of more complex categories. (2) The significance of social support for families, especially with respect to informal care, and the fundamental role of language and language barriers in health care. The relationship between migrant women and health-care providers is impacted by cultural differences, which leave women in a vulnerable position. (3) Macro-sociological and epidemiological factors. These are discussed mainly from the perspective of the 'epidemiological paradox', which the authors here deem a rhetorical trick because it conceals the variableness of the findings obtained from perinatal health indicators. keywords: perinatal health, healthy immigrant effect, acculturation, migrant women, epidemiological paradox, health care

Developmental psychology is rapidly becoming a neuropsychobiological field concerned with understanding how the genes we are born with, the experiences we have that modify gene expression, and the physiological responses in our brains and bodies all come together to write the story of our lives. Nowhere is the importance of a multilevel, multidisciplinary, genes‐to‐society perspective more apparent than in the study of stress and its role in development. This chapter focuses on a key stress‐mediating system, the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenocortical ( HPA ) axis, its development and regulatory processes, its effects on brain systems involved in emotion and cognition, and its interactions with other stress‐mediating systems. The normative development of the HPA axis is described, along with the role of temperament as a moderator of stress responding and stress effects. The majority of the chapter summarizes evidence that the HPA axis plays a role in the biological embedding of experience during development, including questions about developmental plasticity and developmental programming in relation to poverty, prenatal stress, parental loss, risky family environments, and maltreatment. The role of the HPA axis in developmental psychopathology is also discussed. Future directions and fruitful areas of research are considered with each topic.
