“…Sociocultural factors can be positive and protective (e.g., health care, identity) or negative and imbue risk (e.g., poverty, unsafe neighborhoods; LaPoint et al, 2010). Mexican-origin children born to adolescent mothers may face various forms of sociocultural risk within their family context (e.g., parent and grandparent discrimination, parent engagement in risky behaviors, and family economic hardship) that may impact their internalizing behaviors.…”

Objectives: The present study examined whether sociocultural risk factors (i.e., mothers' risky behaviors, mothers' and grandmothers' ethnic discrimination, and family economic hardship) predicted children's internalizing behaviors. We also tested whether sociocultural protective factors, including children's positive ethnic-racial identity (ERI) attitudes and mothers' cultural socialization, moderated relations. Method: Participants were 182 5-year-old Mexican-origin children, their mothers, and grandmothers. Results: Findings indicated that children's positive ERI attitudes were protective, such that grandmothers' discrimination predicted children's greater internalizing at low levels of children's positive ERI attitudes, but this relation was not significant at high levels of children's positive ERI attitudes. Mothers' cultural socialization was also protective, such that mothers' risky behaviors predicted children's greater internalizing at low levels of mothers' cultural socialization, but this relation was not significant at high levels of mothers' cultural socialization. Economic hardship predicted children's greater internalizing and no variables moderated this relation. Conclusions: Findings highlight that mothers' engagement in risky behaviors, grandmothers' ethnic discrimination experiences, and family economic hardship contribute to children's greater internalizing behaviors. However, in some of these relations, children's positive ERI attitudes and mothers' cultural socialization are protective. In future research and programming, a consideration of the role of individual, family, and cultural factors will be important for addressing and reducing children's internalizing behaviors. Public Significance StatementMothers' risky behaviors, grandmothers' discrimination, and family economic hardship were associated with children's mental health. However, children's positive views toward their ethnicity/race and their mothers' efforts to teach them about their culture may protect against the effects of risk factors on children's mental health.

“…Sociocultural factors refer to those aspects of the social environment which are a direct result of the intersection between the cultural underpinnings of society (such as a collective system of values, beliefs, and thoughts) and its social processes and organizational mechanisms (such as social interaction and relationships, and institutional dynamics) (Shier et al, 2011). Thus, sociocultural factors generally include poverty, inequality, gender, religion, buying habits, education level, family size and structure, and population density (APA Dictionary of Psychology, n.d.;Globalization Partners International, n.d.;LaPoint et al, 2010).…”

Beyond the physical transmission of COVID-19, the pandemic has had far-reaching consequences in Bangladesh, including social and cultural implications. This review paper aimed at identifying and synthesizing the costs of COVID-19 on sociocultural issues in Bangladesh. For this purpose, we conducted a systematic search in MEDLINE, PubMed, ProQuest, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar up to August 2021. Studies related to the costs of COVID-19 were identified, tabulated, analyzed, and synthesized by using a thematic approach. Our final synthesis of 19 studies resulted in five analytical themes: (i) disruption in education, (ii) loss of everyday social interaction, (iii) increase of “new poor” and suicide, (iv) rise of violence against women, and (v) worsening the life of refugees. Our findings showed that the costs of disruption in education, loss of everyday social interaction, and increase of “new poor” and suicide were more evident. Finally, we recommend the government and the community to adopt some integrated actions and policies to combat the problems in improving Bangladeshi sociocultural situations.

Background: Postpartum Depression� is an important cause of maternal and infant morbidity as well as mortality. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of postpartum depression and domestic violence experience as well as to identify association of postpartum depression with domestic violence experiences and other factors among women in Nepal. Methods: The study was a cross sectional hospital-based research conducted in Kathmandu, Nepal among women who were 6 weeks to 6 months postpartum; chosen by simple random sampling. Self-report questionnaire was used Results: The prevalence of PPD was found to be 20.7% while that of the different forms of domestic violence ranged between 10% and 44.5%. History of mental illness (OR= 8.26), family history of mental illness (OR= 2.84), unplanned pregnancy (OR= 3.2), Low Birth Weight of infant (OR= 3.6), Psychological Violence in the past year (OR= 8.3), Physical violence in the past year (OR= 7.6) and Childhood Sexual Abuse (OR= 12.7) were found to increase the odds of PPD. Discussion:� The findings of the study unequivocally shows the association between different factors, most notable among which is domestic violence and PPD. Maternal mental health is a neglected area of healthcare in Nepal. Likewise, domestic violence is a readily recognized, but inadequately addressed social issue. We recommend that healthcare workers be trained to recognize and support the women who are vulnerable to violence and depression during pregnancy and postpartum. Policies need to be developed at national levels to tackle these issues with utmost urgency.
