Is it a Hispanic Paradox? Examining the Effect of Individual and Neighborhood Factors on Birth Outcomes Summary

The Hispanic birthweight paradox, whereby Hispanic women exhibit a comparable or lower risk of bearing a low birthweight infant than their white counterparts despite relative socioeconomic disadvantage, has been observed across a number of research studies. However, the majority of evidence for the paradox has focused on Hispanics in aggregate form or on populations with primarily Mexican ancestry and has relied largely on outcome measures with important methodological shortcomings. Furthermore, studies have identified the variation of birthweight risk among Hispanics by nativity, maternal education and neighborhood composition, but the evidence has been scarce and inconsistent. The overall goal of this dissertation was to investigate the Hispanic health paradox with relation to measures of birthweight and infant size in births to women residing in New York City aged 20 years and older, using birth records for years 2003 through 2007 collected by the Office of Vital Statistics of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (N=460,881).

What is audiobook and how does it work?
Audiobooks are voice recordings of the text of a book that you listen to rather than read. Audiobooks can be exact word-for-word versions of books or abridged versions. You can listen to audiobooks on any smartphone, tablet, computer, home speaker system, or in-car entertainment system.



An electronic book, also known as an e-book or eBook, is a book publication made available in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on the flat-panel display of computers or other electronic devices. Although sometimes defined as "an electronic version of a printed book",some e-books exist without a printed equivalent.
E-books can be read on dedicated e-reader devices, but also on any computer device that features a controllable viewing screen, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
