Abstract:

This study examined differences in the attitudes of professional social workers regarding corporal punishment and the perception and reporting of child maltreatment, according to the worker’s ethnic group membership (Asian, Black American, Black Caribbean, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White). Data were obtained by mailed questionnaires from 808 members of the New York City chapter of NASW. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance. Results indicate that approval of corporal punishment and perception of maltreatment differed according to ethnic group membership. However, ethnicity had no effect on the likelihood of reporting maltreatment. Findings suggest that social work values override personal-culture values in the execution of job-related responsibilities. Implications for education and practice are discussed.

Abstract:

Chronically ill patients commonly suffer from comorbid depression that negatively influences disease trajectories, reduces patients' quality of life, and renders them less able to cope with the challenges of daily living. Among Hispanic primary care patients, depression is often not detected until severe. According to promotoras (de salud), who are female community health workers working with Mexican American patients with diabetes in Southern Arizona, depression is commonly undiagnosed in their communities.

Abstract:

We studied HIV seropositivity among a targeted sample of migrant workers who used drugs, primarily crack cocaine, and their sexual partners in rural southern Florida from 1993 to 1995. We enrolled men and women who were born in the United States (n = 369) or in other countries (n = 174). Overall, 11.2% of the sample were HIV positive, including 18% of Blacks from the United States, and about 8% of non-Hispanic whites from the United States, Blacks from the Caribbean, and persons from Central or South America. No Hispanics from the United States or the Caribbean, but 3.4% of Hispanics from Mexico, were HIV positive. In logistic regression analyses, race/ethnicity, gender, and age were most highly associated with HIV seropositivity. Immigration status, current drug use, and current sexual activity were not related to HIV seropositivity. HIV prevention programs must help reduce heterosexual transmission of HIV associated with drug use both locally and where migrants travel and work.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Social workers are often front-line psychosocial providers working with underserved populations, many of whom struggle with sleep. They are uniquely positioned to promote sleep health among individuals experiencing health inequities. However, U.S. accredited social work programs do not require sleep health training. We used both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to investigate social work students’: a) sleep health knowledge; b) self-reported sleep quality; c) prior sleep health education; and d) client discussions about sleep, in order to inform the development of a sleep health training for social work students. Methods Twenty-five social work students were recruited via a listserv email sent at a Florida university. Participants were asked to complete the Sleep Beliefs Scale (SBS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and then to participate in a one-hour long focus group (3 groups with 6-11 students/group) conducted by experienced qualitative researchers. Results Mean age was 27.0±11.5 yrs, 92.0% were female, and 48.0% were non-Hispanic white, 28.0% African American, 16.0% Hispanic, 8.0% other. Only 28.0% indicated that they had ever discussed sleep with clients. Knowledge of healthy sleep behaviors (assessed via the SBS) was moderate on a 0-20 scale (13.88, S.D.= 2.7). Participants had an average PSQI score of 8.8 (SD.=4.0), reported sleeping an average of 6.0 hours (SD=1.6), and mean sleep efficiency of 87.0% (SD=12.0). Themes from focus group data highlight students’ lack of exposure to sleep health training and a dearth of sleep discussions in clinical practice. Conclusion Though social work students acknowledged the importance of sleep health promotion, they reported feeling ill-equipped to promote healthy sleep practices due to lack of sleep education. Sleep health training could allow social workers to confidently promote healthy sleep practices among their clients, recognize when appropriate to refer clients for evaluation for sleep disorders, and improve social workers’ own sleep health. An online educational program was subsequently created by study investigators to meet these aims. Support American Academy of Sleep Medicine Foundation

Abstract:

Background: Uncontrolled hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In the United States, many patients remain uncontrolled, in part, due to poor medication adherence. Efforts to improve hypertension control include not only attending to medical management of the disease but also the social determinants of health, which impact medication adherence, and ultimately blood pressure control.Purpose: To determine which social determinants – health care access or community and social stressors - explain medication adherence.Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, we used baseline data (N=1820, collected August 2017 to October 2019) from a pragmatic trial, which compares the effectiveness of a multi-level intervention including collaborative care and a stepped approach with enhanced standard of care for improving blood pressure. We used logistic regression analyses to examine the association between patient experiences of care and community and social stressors with medication adherence.Results: The participants represented a diverse sample: mean age of 60 years; 59% female; 57.3% Black, 9.6% Hispanic, and 33.2% White. All participants had a blood pressure reading ≥140/90 mm Hg (mean blood pressure – 152/85 mm Hg). Half of the participants reported some level of non-adherence to medication. Regression analysis showed that, compared with Whites, Blacks (AOR .47; 95% CIs: .37-.60, P<.001) and Hispanics (AOR .48; 95% CIs: .32- .73, P<.001) were less likely to report medication adherence. Also part-time workers (AOR .57; 95% CIs: .38-.86, P<.05), and those who reported greater perceived stress (AOR .94; 95% CIs: .91 – .98, P<.001) and everyday discrimination (AOR .73; 95% CIs: .59 – .89; P<.001) had lower odds of medication adherence. Among Blacks, greater perceived stress (AOR .93; 95% CIs: .88-.98, P<.001) and everyday discrimination (AOR .63; 95% CIs: .49 - .82, P<.005) were negatively associated with medication adherence. Among Hispanics, greater report of everyday discrimination (AOR .36; 95% CIs: .14 – .89, P<.005) was associated with lower odds of medication adherence. Among Whites, the negative effect of perceived stress on medication adherence was attenuated by emotional support.Conclusions: Using the social determinants of health framework, we identified associations between stress, everyday discrimination and medication adherence among non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics that were independent of health status and other social determinants. Programs to enhance self-management for African American and Hispanic patients with uncontrolled blood pressure should include a specific focus on addressing social stressors.Ethn Dis. 2021;31(1):97-108; doi:10.18865/ ed.31.1.97

Abstract:

Abstract Addressing systems of oppression that disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minoritized groups appears to be of marginal interest in social work’s professional literature. This article describes the content analysis of articles on Asian Pacific Islander (API) Americans, African Americans, Latinx or Hispanic Americans, and Native or Indigenous Americans in four major social work journals published between 2005 and 2015. (The analysis serves to update a 1992 article by Anthony McMahon and Paula Allen-Meares that examined literature between 1980 and 1989.) Of the 1,690 articles published in Child Welfare, Research on Social Work Practice, Social Service Review, and Social Work over an 11-year period, only 123 met the criteria for inclusion. Findings suggest that social work researchers are still failing to address institutional racism and are relying heavily on micro-level interventions when working with minoritized groups. Social workers need to increase efforts to dismantle institutional racism.

Abstract:

Migrant and seasonal workers are vulnerable to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) due to poverty, inadequate knowledge of preventive strategies, and lack of access to health care. This study addresses the disparate impact of HIV among Hispanic and African American migrant workers in Immokalee, Florida, who use alcohol and other drugs. Through pilot testing to adapt the experimental and comparison interventions to these two distinct populations, research staff have learned the importance of (1) establishing and maintaining trust between outreach staff and the migrant community; (2) being aware of cultural nuances and practices that might create challenges to the research process, and the interaction of these factors with poverty; and (3) having flexibility in recruitment and intervention. As one of the first intervention studies in this population to use an experimental design and to focus on the social and contextual factors that contribute to risky behaviors, these lessons may provide guidance for future researchers.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives: How individuals and families accumulate retirement resources during working years is a key aspect of aging with implications for later life. This study examines how much, and by what mechanisms, savings in retirement plans vary by race/ethnicity. Method: Using representative survey data and linked W-2 tax records, we estimate the probability of participation in employer-sponsored defined contribution (DC) retirement plans with probit regression, and contribution levels with ordinary least squares (OLS) models. We use Heckman models to adjust for potential sample selection. Results: Black and Hispanic workers have lower participation and contributions in employer-sponsored DC retirement plans than do white workers, while Asian Americans have higher levels. The bulk of racial/ethnic differences is attributed to socioeconomic position, especially education and labor market circumstances like earnings. Differentials are also associated with family circumstances, namely for black workers. After accounting for education, labor market, and family covariates, social-psychological factors appear to explain only small portions of differences, especially for black and Hispanic. Discussion: This study clarifies how racial/ethnic disparities in socioeconomic circumstances generate advantages and disadvantages in retirement wealth accumulation. Lower DC retirement plan participation and contributions among minorities in work life represent an underappreciated earlier-life channel through which racial inequalities in income and wealth in later life are generated.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Social workers are well-positioned to promote healthy sleep behaviors among underserved populations; however sleep health training is rarely integrated into social work curriculums. To address this gap, our interdisciplinary team developed a 2-hour online sleep health educational module for social work students. The module was grounded in best e-learning pedagogical principles, and based on qualitative formative research. We tested the initial impact and acceptability of the module. Methods We recruited 32 social work students at a Florida University via a departmental listserve. Pre- to post-intervention changes in the Sleep Beliefs Scale (SBS) and the Sleep Practices and Attitudes Questionnaire (SPAQ) were assessed using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests. We conducted qualitative research to assess intervention acceptability,and to inform future iterations of the program. Results Mean age was 29.5±11.6 yrs, 100% were female, and primarily Non-Hispanic White (41.9%), followed by African American/Black (35.5%), and Hispanic/Latino (22.6%). Results showed pre/post intervention improvements in both the Sleep Beliefs Scale (14.7±2.2 vs.16.9±2.6 [p=.002]; higher score=higher knowledge) and SPAQ (2.1±0.6 to 1.5±0.6 [p=.001]; lower score=higher importance of sleep) indicating improvements in knowledge surrounding healthy sleep behaviors and the importance of sleep for overall health (respectively). Qualitative data supports the intervention’s acceptability and utility. When asked what participants liked best about the module, responses included: “I was educated and am better prepared to offer some insight to my clients and staff”; “..they offer resources we can use for ourselves and our clients;” and “easy to navigage, and full of useful information.” Suggestions for improvement included shortening the module’s length. Conclusion Assessment of an online sleep health educational module indicates a promising impact on sleep health knowledge. A larger study is planned to more definitively evaluate the module’s impact and acceptability among social work students. Support American Academy of Sleep Medicine Foundation

Abstract:

Abstract Many Americans work well past the Social Security full retirement age. Moreover, the high labor participation rate of aged workers does not translate into better living conditions and decreased poverty at old age. According to the OECD’s relative poverty threshold, the poverty rate at old age is 23.1% (14 points higher than the absolute measure), showing important increases as age progresses. In the context of financial pressure faced by SS, understanding the factors that could help people ensure themselves against poverty is crucial at old age, especially for groups such as Hispanics. Hispanics tend to rely mostly on SS, and tend to retire earlier than non-Hispanics due to limited working opportunities. Using data drawn from the Health and Retirement Study (2008-2016), cox survival models, were conducted to estimate the risk of transitioning into poverty during retirement on determinants of long-term accumulation of disadvantages over the life course (i.e.: wealth accumulation, medical care access, unemployment history). Results suggest that being foreign born and Hispanic are strongly associated with an increase on the probability of experiencing poverty at old age, conditional on health, education and employment status. Furthermore, delaying claims of SS by one year reduces the probability of falling into poverty by 3%, supporting that socioeconomic conditions faced by older adults, especially, the interactions between such factors and ethnicity are key in explaining poverty at old age. This would help policy makers to implement policies could be targeting those factors earlier on, beneficiating the individuals and society as a whole

Abstract:

The U.S. labor market is increasingly made up of immigrant workers, and considerable research has focused on occupational segregation as an indicator of their labor market incorporation. However, most studies focus on Hispanic populations, excluding one of the fastest growing immigrant groups: foreign-born blacks. Because of their shared race, African and Caribbean immigrants may experience the same structural barriers as U.S.-born blacks. However, researchers hypothesize that black immigrants are advantaged in the labor market relative to U.S.-born blacks because of social network hiring and less discrimination by employers. Using 2011–2015 pooled American Community Survey data, this study is among the first quantitative studies to examine black immigrants’ occupational segregation in the United States. The authors use the Duncan and Duncan Dissimilarity Index to estimate black immigrants’ segregation from U.S.-born whites and blacks and regression analyses to identify predictors of occupational segregation. Consistent with previous work focusing on Hispanic immigrants, foreign-born blacks are highly overrepresented in a few occupations. African and Caribbean immigrants experience more occupational segregation from whites than the U.S.-born, with African immigrants most segregated. Africans are also more segregated from U.S.-born blacks than Caribbean immigrants. Results of the regression analyses suggest that African immigrants are penalized rather than rewarded for educational attainment. The authors find that the size of the coethnic population and the share of coethnics who are self-employed are associated with a decline in occupational segregation. Future research is needed to determine the impact of lower occupational segregation on the income of self-employed black immigrants.

Abstract:

As of 18 October 2020, over 39.5 million cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and 1.1 million associated deaths have been reported worldwide. It is crucial to understand the effect of social determination of health on novel COVID-19 outcomes in order to establish health justice. There is an imperative need, for policy makers at all levels, to consider socioeconomic and racial and ethnic disparities in pandemic planning. Cross-sectional analysis from COVID Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research COVID Racial Data Tracker was performed to evaluate the racial and ethnic distribution of COVID-19 outcomes relative to representation in the United States. Representation quotients (RQs) were calculated to assess for disparity using state-level data from the American Community Survey (ACS). We found that on a national level, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders, and Black people had RQs > 1, indicating that these groups are over-represented in COVID-19 incidence. Dramatic racial and ethnic variances in state-level incidence and mortality RQs were also observed. This study investigates pandemic disparities and examines some factors which inform the social determination of health. These findings are key for developing effective public policy and allocating resources to effectively decrease health disparities. Protective standards, stay-at-home orders, and essential worker guidelines must be tailored to address the social determination of health in order to mitigate health injustices, as identified by COVID-19 incidence and mortality RQs.

Abstract:

Recent scholarship on Mexican Americans in the United States, relying largely on qualitative evidence, sees racism and exploitation as the major explanatory factors in their history. Using representative samples of persons of Mexican origin, we argue that immigration is fundamental to their historical experience. A small, beleaguered community in 1850, the Mexican-origin population grew during the late nineteenth century due to greater security under US jurisdiction. However, immigration between 1900 and 1930 created a Southwest broadly identified with persons of Mexican origin. Economic development in Mexico, restriction of European immigration to the United States, and extreme cross-border wage differentials prompted extensive emigration. Despite low human capital, circular migration, and discrimination, immigrant Mexicans earned substantially higher wages than workers in Mexico or native-born Hispanics in the United States. They followed typical immigrant paths toward urban areas with high wages. Prior to 1930, their marked tendency to repatriate was not “constructed” or compelled by the state or employers, but fit a conventional immigrant strategy. During the Depression, many persons of Mexican origin migrated to Mexico; some were deported or coerced, but others followed this well-established repatriation strategy. The remaining Mexican-origin population, increasingly native born, enjoyed extraordinary socioeconomic gains in the 1940s; upward mobility, their family forms, and rising political activity resembled those of previous immigrant-origin communities. In the same decade, however, the Bracero Program prompted mass illegal immigration and mass deportation, a pattern replicated throughout the late twentieth century. These conditions repeatedly replenished ethnicity and reignited nativism, presenting a challenge not faced by any other immigrant group in US history.

Abstract Title A Clinician's Experience in Initiation and Navigation of a Support group for Sickle Cell Disease Patients - Can we Break Patient Bias? Introduction: A 2010 qualitative research study by the Journal of the Health Care for the Underserved validates the finding that African Americans are suspicious of health care programs that are targeted specifically for African American as they believe that the system would have ill-intent. This adversarial relation with health care providers persists in the aftermath of the Tuskegee experiment and other historical research abuses. This is particularly relevant to sickle cell disease (SCD) as it affects minorities, especially the black population. SCD is one of the most common genetic disorders in the nation affecting approximately 100,000 Americans. 1 in 365 African American and 1 in 16,300 Hispanic American are affected by SCD. Chronic pain with frequent episodes of vasoocclusive or pain crises (VOC) are defining clinical features of the disease. Opioids are required during VOC for effective treatment and often is a source of difficulty for patients negotiating the health care system. Over time, SCD can cause multiple organ complications including strokes, cardiopulmonary disease, renal disease and neurocognitive deficits. The disease is associated with a decreased life expectancy. Methods Case vignettes of real-life experiences of adult patient with SCD were used to highlight the basis of suspicion of health care providers and health care systems. 25 adult patients aged > 18years old were allowed to express their concern with joining and attending a monthly support group by questionnaire. We captured the various narratives, sought to address their concern through individualized in person dialogue with the social worker, and then invited them again to attend. Results: There were several reasons presented by patients for their reluctant to attend the support group sessions. These included difficulty with transportation, competing demands such as need to provide for family, lack of child care, educational level and ability to comprehend in a group environment, hospitalizations, frequent overwhelmingly concerns over privacy and confidentiality including use of photographs for media event by the hospital. After social work provider intervention including providing taxi vouchers, 80% of patients could be convinced to attend their first monthly group sessions. Retention rates of approximately 90% were achieved though we did note that participation was influenced by weather and competing domestic events. Conclusions: Our study highlights the difficulty SCD patients had with trusting health care providers including social workers. However, the majority of patients could be convinced to attend support groups sessions by acknowledging and addressing their concerns. The study highlighted the various challenges patient had negotiating health care systems; and we highlight the difficulties surrounding trust of providers. However, we demonstrated feasibility in achieving the goals by addressing their legitimate concern. Printed Program Description: This program will explore historical practices that influence minority patient's engagement in groups and research and discuss best practices on how to address this.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Adults, 60 years of age and older, are in high demand for enrollment in many types of health research. Here we aimed to examine baseline, 60-day and 120-day follow-up trust in research and researchers of Floridians 60 years of age and older engaged in University of Florida’s HealthStreet community engagement initiative. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: HealthStreet Community Health Workers (CHWs) assess health needs and trust in research of community members and screen for dementia, before providing medical and social services referrals and linkages to opportunities to participate in relevant health research at UF. In addition, participants are followed up at 60 and 120 days. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Among the 2,193 older adults assessed by CHWs, 62.6% were female, 46.8% were African American, and 6.1% Hispanic/Latino. At baseline, 28.3% reported ever being in a research study; 7.7% reported not being interested in participating in research. Trust in research and researchers was high at baseline [scored from 1 to 10 where 10 was high; mean of 7.4 each for trust in research (SD=2.0) and trust in researchers (SD=2.1)] and high at both follow-ups [60 days 7.8 (SD=2.1) and 7.7 (SD=2) for trust in research and researchers respectively; 120 days 8.0 for both (SD=1.9 and 1.8 respectively)]. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Individuals who are 60 and older have high trust in research and researchers when approached and high interest in research. Their trust continues through work with HealthStreet CHWs. Community engagement is an important part of the pipeline for recruitment of older adults for research.

Abstract:

This article studies the earnings gap between Mexican, Hispanic and non-Hispanic white male workers resulting from changes in both the wage structure and immigration laws that occurred during the 1980s. Our results suggest that Mexican and Hispanic workers were adversely affected by these two changes. Using data from the 1980 and 1990 One Percent Public Use Microdata Samples, we show that these “at-risk” workers minimized the negative impact of the increases in the returns to skill by gaining in the non-Hispanic white residual wage distribution. We conclude that at-risk workers increased their work effort to lessen the effects of Act-induced employment losses. Using 1983–1992 data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and EEOC data for this period, we provide support for this contention.

Abstract:

Background In the United States, racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected by COVID-19, with persistent social and structural factors contributing to these disparities. At the intersection of race/ethnicity and gender, women of color may be disadvantaged in terms of COVID-19 outcomes due to their role as essential workers, their higher prevalence of pre-existing conditions, their increased stress and anxiety from the loss of wages and caregiving, and domestic violence. Objective The purpose of this study is to examine racial and ethnic differences in the prevalence of COVID-19 outcomes, stressors, fear, and prevention behaviors among adult women residing in the United States. Methods Between May and June 2020, women were recruited into the Capturing Women’s Experiences in Outbreak and Pandemic Environments (COPE) Study, a web-based cross-sectional study, using advertisements on Facebook; 491 eligible women completed a self-administered internet-based cross-sectional survey. Descriptive statistics were used to examine racial and ethnic differences (White; Asian; Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander; Black; Hispanic, Latina, or Spanish Origin; American Indian or Alaskan Native; multiracial or some other race, ethnicity, or origin) on COVID-19 outcomes, stressors, fear, and prevention behaviors. Results Among our sample of women, 16% (73/470) reported COVID-19 symptoms, 22% (18/82) were concerned about possible exposure from the people they knew who tested positive for COVID-19, and 51.4% (227/442) knew where to get tested; yet, only 5.8% (27/469) had been tested. Racial/ethnic differences were observed, with racial/ethnic minority women being less likely to know where to get tested. Significant differences in race/ethnicity were observed for select stressors (food insecurity, not enough money, homeschooling children, unable to have a doctor or telemedicine appointment) and prevention behaviors (handwashing with soap, self-isolation if sick, public glove use, not leaving home for any activities). Although no racial/ethnic differences emerged from the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, significant racial/ethnic differences were observed for some of the individual scale items (eg, being afraid of getting COVID-19, sleep loss, and heart racing due to worrying about COVID-19). Conclusions The low prevalence of COVID-19 testing and knowledge of where to get tested indicate a critical need to expand testing for women in the United States, particularly among racial/ethnic minority women. Although the overall prevalence of engagement in prevention behaviors was high, targeted education and promotion of prevention activities are warranted in communities of color, particularly with consideration for stressors and adverse mental health.

Abstract:

This study examined the perceptions of social support reported by 70 African-American, 44 Hispanic, 20 Native-American, and 69 Asian-American doctoral students ( N = 203) concerning their experiences in graduate school. The Doctoral Student Survey was used to measure the levels and types of social support provided. One-way analysis of variance of mean scores indicated that a majority of doctoral students perceived the academic environment on campus and faculty advisers to be strong sources of social support, while perceiving the social environment on campus as unsupportive of their progress. The African-American and Native-American doctoral students perceived the social environment on campus to be less supportive than did the Hispanic and Asian-American doctoral students, and Native-American doctoral students perceived their departments to be less supportive than did the African-American, Hispanic, and Asian-American doctoral students.

Abstract:

Who has which job? When this answer differs by race group or sex, inefficiencies such as labor market discrimination or suboptimal investment in education may be impeding productivity and sustaining inequities. We use US Census data to analyze the occupational structure of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) workers relative to non-Hispanic white workers. Relative to white workers, AI/AN workers are generally overrepresented in low-skilled occupations and underrepresented in high-skilled occupations, especially men and single-race AI/AN workers. AI/AN occupational dissimilarity does not appear to have declined substantially since 1980. Sex-specific multivariate analyses do not remove the significant inequalities in observed occupational outcomes.

Abstract:

There are more than 50 million Hispanics in the United States, composing 16 percent of the population. Hispanics are also one of the fastest-growing race and ethnic groups. The American public often views and treats Hispanics as a racial group; yet 47 years after a Hispanic origin measure was added to the 1970 U.S. decennial census, and after numerous tests aimed at ameliorating racial measurement issues related to Hispanics, we continue to struggle with defining and measuring this population. In this article, we review literature about conceptual and measurement issues regarding Hispanic race reporting, evaluate public tabulations from one of the largest Census Bureau studies conducted in the 2010 Census to test strategies to improve race reporting for Hispanics, and discuss the opportunities and challenges of changing the race question on the decennial census to incorporate Hispanics.

Abstract:

We examined factors affecting psychological distress in non-Hispanic White (n = 9,170) and Asian American (n = 1,417) older adults, using 2015–2016 California Health Interview Survey data. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that disability, poor/fair health, and neighborhood environmental factors, such as unsafe neighborhoods and low social cohesion, were significantly associated with psychological distress in both ethnic groups. People aged between 65 and 69 years, women, nonhomeowners, and those living at less than 200% of the federal poverty level had increased odds of psychological distress among the non-Hispanic Whites. For Asian Americans, physical inactivity was associated with an increased rate of psychological distress. These findings indicate that multiple risk factors increase the probability of psychological distress in older adults. Further, important similarities and differences exist between older Asian Americans and non-Hispanic Whites, which have implications in screening and development of interventions for these ethnic groups.

Abstract:

The study compared sex-role conflict and job satisfaction scores and correlations among a broad sample of 71 Cuban and Central American Hispanic and 120 nonHispanic men and women working in the South Florida area. Analysis showed that the Hispanic respondents had lower satisfaction with pay, supervision, and co-workers, but were similar to nonHispanic white subjects in sex-role conflict and satisfaction with work and promotion. For the Hispanic groups, sex-role conflict was not correlated with any facet of job satisfaction, but for nonHispanic white groups sex-role conflict was correlated with satisfaction with work, pay, promotion, and supervision.

Abstract:

Hispanics are becoming the main source of labor in many productive- and service-oriented businesses in the United States, and the nursery industry is one example. Employers invest much time and money into employees, making the employees their biggest investment. However, the educational needs of Hispanic employees have not been adequately addressed, and no formal educational program for Hispanic workers in the nursery industry has been implemented and tested in Ohio. This project has two objectives: 1) measure the impact of a bilingual educational program containing instruction in horticulture and instruction in life skills to a Hispanic workforce, and 2) investigate which type of training is more essential to the stabilization of the Hispanic family unit, technical horticultural training, or training in life-skills. Eight nurseries throughout Ohio were selected to participate in this project. At each of the nurseries, an average group size of 15 employees was trained. Only half of this number participated in the social skills lessons to determine differences between the group who received social skills lessons and the group who did not. Three horticultural topics were selected: basic plant structure and development, pruning, and nutrition. Forty-minute lessons in Spanish with key concepts in English were prepared with the topics mentioned. Three social skills topics were selected: meeting your and your family's needs in the United States, social support in your community, and communication. In order to measure the impact of a bilingual educational program, two tests (The Rosenberg Selfeteem and Index of Family Relationship) were applied before and after the program was performed. A course evaluation was completed by each of the participants after the program was completed.

Abstract:

Educational attainment is among the most substantial protective factors against cigarette smoking, including during pregnancy. Although Minorities’ Diminished Returns (MDRs) of educational attainment, defined as weaker protective effect of education for racial and ethnic minority groups compared to Non-Hispanic Whites, has been demonstrated in previous studies; such MDRs are not tested for cigarette smoking during pregnancy. To better understand the relevance of MDRs to tobacco use during pregnancy, this study had three aims: firstly, to investigate the association between educational attainment and cigarette smoking in pregnant women; secondly, to compare racial and ethnic groups for the association between educational attainment and cigarette smoking; and thirdly, to explore the mediating effect of poverty status on such MDRs, among American adults during pregnancy. This cross-sectional study explored a nationally representative sample of pregnant American women (n = 338), which was taken from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH; 2013). Current smoking was the outcome. Educational attainment was the independent variable. Region and age were the covariates. Poverty status was the mediator. Race and ethnicity were the effect modifiers. Overall, a higher level of educational attainment (OR = 0.54, p < 0.05) was associated with lower odds of current smoking among pregnant women. Race (OR = 2.04, p < 0.05) and ethnicity (OR = 2.12, p < 0.05) both showed significant interactions with educational attainment on smoking, suggesting that the protective effect of educational attainment against smoking during pregnancy is smaller for Blacks and Hispanics than Non-Hispanic Whites. Poverty status fully mediated the above interactions. In the United States, highly educated pregnant Black and Hispanic women remain at higher risk of smoking cigarettes, possibly because they are more likely to live in poverty, compared to their White counterparts. The results suggest the role that labor market discrimination has in explaining lower returns of educational attainment in terms of less cigarette smoking by racial and ethnic minority pregnant women.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were significant MMPI differences between 20 inpatient and 20 outpatient Hispanic-American sex offenders and whether their MMPI scores were consistent with those of nonHispanic (i.e., AngloAmericans) sex offenders as reported in the literature. It was hypothesized that Hispanic outpatients would obtain significantly lower scores than inpatients on the Depression and Social Introversion scales. The hypothesis was only partially supported on the latter. An unexpected finding was that outpatients obtained higher Masculinity-Femininity scores than inpatients. While multiple clinical-scale elevations were found for both groups, similarities between Hispanics and nonHispanics were found in over-all profile patterns. The results suggest that there is no “profile for an Hispanic sex offender” and that minimum levels of psychopathology may be reflected in the MMPI scores of Hispanic sex offenders.

Abstract:

In this pilot study the maternal separation anxiety of 49 mothers of primarily Mexican descent was examined. A hierarchical multiple regression was conducted to determine if predictors of maternal separation anxiety in Euro-American mothers would also predict maternal separation anxiety in Hispanic mothers. Results identified maternal education, marital status, and total number of children as predictors. Maternal age produced a significant increment when added to the model. Neither infant age nor hours mothers spent attending school or in paid employment predicted maternal separation anxiety. Additionally, adolescents reported greater maternal separation anxiety when separated from their infants than did adult mothers. Results of this pilot study indicated some consistency with findings of previous research with Euro-American participants. Suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

Health care utilization of reproductive health care services among males is an emerging issue. This study examined ethnicity as a factor in reproductive health care utilization among 1,606 African American and Hispanic young males attending family planning clinics. Seventy percent were African American and 30% were Hispanic. Across groups, the most received service was treatment for a sexually transmitted infection (STI). African American males were more likely than Hispanic males to have health insurance, report a prior visit to a family planning/STI clinic, and have a history of an STI. Hispanic males had higher rates of employment. The most common source of referral for family planning services for both groups was either a current girlfriend or female friend. Hispanic males were more likely to use family as a referral source than African American males. Differences were also noted in regard to interest in health topics with African American males most interested in STI prevention and getting a job and Hispanic males in services related to working-out/eating well, controlling anger, feeling depressed, and getting along with family. Young males’ perceptions of what they consider to be important health care needs should be assessed carefully in order to maintain their interest in returning to the clinics.
