Knowledge and beliefs about reproductive anatomy and physiology among Mexican-Origin women in the USA: Implications for effective oral contraceptive use
Inherent in many reproductive health and family planning programmes is the problematic assumption that the body, its processes and modifications to it are universally experienced in the same way. This paper addresses contraceptive knowledge and beliefs among Mexican-origin women, based upon data gathered by the qualitative component of the Border Contraceptive Access Study. Open-ended interviews explored the perceived mechanism of action of the p…
Frustrated Demand for Sterilization Among Low‐Income Latinas in El Paso, Texas
Because access to a full range of contraceptive methods is limited for low-income women, researchers and providers should not assume a woman's current method is her method of choice
Clinic Versus Over-the-Counter Access to Oral Contraception: Choices Women Make Along the US–Mexico Border
Objectives. As part of the Border Contraceptive Access Study, we interviewed oral contraceptive (OC) users living in El Paso, Texas, to assess motivations for patronizing a US clinic or a Mexican pharmacy with over-the-counter (OTC) pills and to determine which women were likely to use the OTC option. Methods. We surveyed 532 clinic users and 514 pharmacy users about background characteristics, motivations for choosing their OC source, and satisf…

Transborder use of medical services among Mexican American students in a U.S. border university
The geographic and cultural proximity of sister cities along the U.S.‐Mexico border suggests that U.S. residents may circumvent financial, social, and legal barriers to healthcare by seeking care in Mexico. While most reports suggest that cross‐border use of healthcare is a common practice among low‐income Spanish‐speaking U.S. residents, little is known about groups with other socioeconomic profiles. We use data from a survey among students enro…
Education and migration in a border city
Major demographic processes (fertility, mortality and migration) are both causes and consequences of future and previous processes. Demographers in border locations have special methodological challenges and usually face more rapidly changing dynamics than other locations. Migration is a process most difficult to both measure and understand; unlike birth and death, it does not happen to everyone, but is selective. Age, education, health, wealth, …
Contemporary Research in Romance Linguistics
Linguistic assimilation in two variables
This article examines the type of relatively rapid speech modification sometimes called “accommodation” (Trudgill, 1986). In this case, we track change on the part of speakers of Honduran Spanish newly resident among speakers of Northern Mexican Spanish. The two variables investigated are final /n/ velarization and spirantization, both of which differ in the two dialects. (Honduran Spanish velarizes final /n/, while Northern Mexican Spanish does …
The intersection of s -aspiration/deletion and spirantization in Honduran Spanish
Spanish dialects may differ according to the behavior of voiced obstruents following r, l, s , and the glides. For most dialects, for example, Mexican, fricatives occur in these environments; in some, such as highland Colombian, stops tend to occur. Another feature distinguishing dialects is s -aspiration/deletion. Several Central American dialects are of particular interest because they are both s -aspirating/deleting and stop-conserving in the …

Mid vowel raising and its consequences in Spanish

Learner continuums and speech communities 1
A serious problem for those analyzing the linguistic dimensions of bilingual communities (as all others) is distinguishing individual from social phenomena. In this paper I present a method for analyzing the acquisition‐like patterns in the English consonants used by Spanish‐English bilinguals. This method is based on work by Bickerton (1973) and Gatbonton‐Segalowitz (1975) and allows a clear view of both individual and group. The analysis shows …
