“…Las familias inmigrantes con bajo nivel socio-económico y un bajo nivel educativo, señalan no tener recursos para poder proporcionar a sus hijos altos niveles educativos. Esto hace aumentar la probabilidad de que esta población se mantenga en niveles socio-económicos más bajos 29 .…”

“…Los prejuicios y estereotipos pueden dificultar los encuentros entre profesionales de la salud y las personas de otras culturas al tener visiones, creencias y valores diferentes 23 de dos maneras principales. Por un lado, los profesionales de la salud realizan generalizaciones de un estilo de vida, unas ideas o pensamientos a un grupo cultural determinado que normalmente surgen de prejuicios propios de cada persona y experiencias previas con un grupo cultural determinado que repercuten en los encuentros culturales 27,29 , creando en las personas atendidas insatisfacción y una sensación de que no se individualiza el cuidado. Por otro lado, existe el riesgo de que los profesionales de la salud realicen "imposiciones culturales" a las personas y familias atendidas de creencias, valores y pautas de comportamiento de su propia cultura 27 .…”

“…Mexican immigrants in the USA, for instance, appear to have better mental health than both their descendants and other American-born groups, despite their relatively lower SES (Escobar et al, 2000). Yet, other studies show that SES is not significantly related to mental health among Korean immigrants in the USA (Kim et al, 2005), Turkish women in Germany (Aichberger et al, 2012) or Bosnian women in Sweden (Sundquist et al, 2005). Although SES is inversely related to distress among native Norwegians, a trend in the opposite direction has been reported for Pakistani immigrants in Norway (Syed et al, 2006a).…”

AbstractPurpose -High socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with better health and lower use of health care services in the general population. Among immigrants, the relationship appears less consistent. The purpose of this paper is to determine if the relationship between income level (a proxy for SES) and use of primary health care services for mental health problems differs for natives and five immigrant groups in Norway. It also explores the moderating effect of length of stay (LoS) among immigrants. Design/methodology/approach -Using data from two registers with national-level coverage, logistic regression analyses with interactions were carried out to determine the association between income level and having used primary health care services for mental health problems. Findings -For Norwegian men and women there was a clear negative relationship between income and service use. Interaction analyses suggested that the relationship differed for all immigrant groups compared with Norwegians. When stratifying by LoS, income was not associated with service use among recently arrived immigrants but was negatively associated among immigrants staying more than two years (with the exception of Pakistani and Iraqi women). Research limitations/implications -Country of origin and LoS should be considered when applying measures of SES in immigrant health research. Social implications -There may be an initial transition period for recently arrived immigrants where competing factors mask the association between SES and service use. Originality/value -This study benefits from nationwide coverage, eliminating self-selection biases. It demonstrates the complexity of the relationship between SES and health care use.

“…For example, does a study of “Turkish women in Germany” actually study only subjects of Turkish nationality living in Germany or also the children of Turkish migrants with some parents born in Turkey, others in Germany? Furthermore, should such a study include only subjects speaking Turkish or any other language currently present in Turkey or does it simply aim at individuals with a Turkish family background (Terkessidis, 2004; Aichberger et al, 2012; Bromand et al, 2012; Heredia-Montesinos et al, 2012)? While language patterns actually appear to influence idioms of distress to a considerable degree, which needs to be reflected in patient-healer interactions (Kleinman, 1981; Penka et al, 2003; Napo et al, 2012; Vardar et al, 2012), “culture” apparently is often used to denote supposedly more profound and potentially biologically rooted differences between groups.…”

The aim of this Hypothesis and Theory is to question the recently increasing use of the “race” concept in contemporary genetic, psychiatric, neuroscience as well as social studies. We discuss “race” and related terms used to assign individuals to distinct groups and caution that also concepts such as “ethnicity” or “culture” unduly neglect diversity. We suggest that one factor contributing to the dangerous nature of the “race” concept is that it is based on a mixture of traditional stereotypes about “physiognomy”, which are deeply imbued by colonial traditions. Furthermore, the social impact of “race classifications” will be critically reflected. We then examine current ways to apply the term “culture” and caution that while originally derived from a fundamentally different background, “culture” is all too often used as a proxy for “race”, particularly when referring to the population of a certain national state or wider region. When used in such contexts, suggesting that all inhabitants of a geographical or political unit belong to a certain “culture” tends to ignore diversity and to suggest a homogeneity, which consciously or unconsciously appears to extend into the realm of biological similarities and differences. Finally, we discuss alternative approaches and their respective relevance to biological and cultural studies.
