Factors affecting prenatal care use and pregnancy outcome in Texas: A comparative study among and within Black, Anglo, and Hispanic populations

This research project is a study in the field of public health to test the relationships of demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and biological factors with (1) prenatal care use and (2) pregnancy outcome, measured by birth weight. It has been postulated that demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors are associated with differences in the use of prenatal care services. It has also been postulated that differences in demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and biological factors result in differences in birth weight. This research attempts to test these two basic conceptual frameworks. At the same time, an attempt is made to determine the population groups and subgroups that are at increased risk (1) of using fewer prenatal care visits, and (2) of displaying a higher incidence of low birth weight babies. An understanding of these relationships of the demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and biological factors in the use of prenatal care visits and pregnancy outcome, measured by birth weight, will potentially offer guidance in the planning and policy development of maternal and child health services. The research considers four major components of maternal characteristics: (1) Demographic factors. Ethnicity, household size, maternal parity, and maternal age; (2) Socioeconomic factors. Maternal education, family income, maternal employment, health insurance coverage, and household dwelling; (3) Behavioral factors. Maternal smoking, attendance at child development classes, mother's first prenatal care visit, total number of prenatal care visits, and adequacy of care; and, (4) Biological factors. Maternal weight gain during pregnancy.^ The research considers 16 independent variables and two dependent variables.^ It was concluded that: (1) Generally, differences in demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors were associated with differences in the average number of prenatal care visits between and within population groups and subgroups. The Hispanic mothers were the lowest users of prenatal care services. (2) In some cases, differences in demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and biological factors demonstrated differences in the average birth weight of infants between and within population groups and subgroups. (3) Differences in demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and biological factors resulted in differences in the rates of low birth weight babies between and within population groups and subgroups. The Black mothers delivered the highest incidence of low birth weight infants.^ These findings could provide guidance in the formulation of public health policies such as MCH services, an increase in the use of prenatal care services by prospective mothers, resulting in reduction of the incidence of low birth weight babies, and consequently aid in reducing the rates of infant mortality. ^

A methodologic study of pain assessment in Anglo and Hispanic children with cancer

There is growing clinical evidence that even young children experience pain and accompanying anxiety. Few instruments have been validated to assess pain characteristics in children. The study of related demographic, illness, psychologic and parental factors in children has also been limited. This study examines the reliability and validity of pain assessment tools in an outpatient pediatric cancer population. A total of 78 children from three to fifteen years of age were observed and interviewed about the pain of invasive procedures. The effect of cultural factors and the stress of acculturation were examined by comparing data from two cultural groups, Anglo and Hispanic.^ Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Scales were administered to children and parents prior to an invasive procedure. The Procedure Behavioral Checklist (PBCL) was used for observation of the child's response during the procedure. The Children's Procedural Interview (CPI) which contains items on the PBCL and visual analogues (scales of faces indicating varying degrees of pain and anxiety) was administered following the procedure.^ Reliability coefficients for Anglos were.78 on the PBCL,.79 on the CPI and.85 on the visual analogue scales. For Hispanics, the reliability for the PBCL was.54, while the CPI had a reliability of.72 and the visual analogue scales,.87. Construct validity was demonstrated by high correlations between the PBCL and CPI scores for both ethnic groups (.66 for Anglos and.64 for Hispanics) and by the significant correlation of State anxiety scores with both PBCL and CPI scores. Age was inversely correlated with PBCL and CPI scores for both ethnic groups. Hispanic parents' anxiety scores were higher than Anglo parents, but were not highly correlated with their child's PBCL, CPI or State-Trait anxiety scores. Caregivers' ratings were correlated with the PBCL scores for Anglos but not for Hispanics.^ The findings of this study indicate that pain responses may be reliably assessed using both observational and self-report methods in children, though differences in Anglo and Hispanic cultures exist. Differences in pain symptomatology and assessment in the two cultural groups warrant further study. ^

The epidemiology of uterine cervical cancer among Anglo and Hispanic women in Texas

This study describes the incidence and mortality of uterine cervical cancer among Texas Anglo and Hispanic women, compares these data with respective data from the U.S. SEER Program, and determines factors which explain observed differences between the Texas ethnic groups and between Texas and SEER women. A total of 1,052 invasive and 1,852 in situ cervical cancer cases diagnosed during 1976-1985 among Texas residents were identified from the Texas Cancer Registry for study.^ The effect of ethnicity on the incidence of cervical cancer was found to be strongly modified by age. Texas Hispanic women 35 years and older were found to be at significantly greater risk (two- to four-fold) of invasive cervical cancer than Texas Anglos, and the risk was greatest among women 55-69 years. Compared with SEER females, both Texas ethnic groups exhibited excess risks of invasive cancer, but the magnitude varied with age. In contrast, Texas females were diagnosed less frequently with in situ cervical cancer than SEER females, and Hispanics had the largest differentials.^ As an indicator of differences in screening utilization between Texas and SEER ethnic groups, comparisons of in situ with invasive rates revealed both Texas ethnic groups in all age groups to have lower ratios than respective SEER females. Texas Hispanics had the lowest ratios. A larger percentage of squamous cell tumors were diagnosed among SEER females compared with Texas females, also supporting the finding of less screening. Texas invasive cases did not differ by ethnic group in the distribution of cell types. Hispanics 35-54 years had higher rates than Texas Anglos and SEER Hispanics for all four cell types.^ Declines in the incidence of invasive tumors over time were seen among Texas Anglos 35-54 years and Hispanics 55+ years. The mortality of cervical cancer also declined among Texas Anglo and Hispanic females 55+ years, but the rates still remained highest among these groups.^ In summary, these data indicate increased risks of invasive cervical cancer and less screening among subgroups of Texas females. Prevention efforts should be directed toward these Texas women at high risk of invasive cervical tumors. ^
