Revisiting the immigrant paradox in reproductive health
This Is Not a Well Place”
In this study we explored experiences of stress in the lives of 10 mothers and grandmothers living in a low-income, predominantly White, urban neighborhood. Based on interviews, diaries, and photographs, we learned that these women encounter a confluence of stressors related to their everyday lives, their neighborhood, and community culture and institutions. The words and images these women gave us offer insight into how we might improve public h…
The Effect of Residential Neighborhood on Child Behavior Problems in First Grade
Child behavior problems have been identified as being responsible for the greatest reduction in quality of life for children between ages 1 and 19. In this study, we examine whether neighborhood social processes are associated with differences in child behavior problems in an economically and racially diverse sample of 405 urban‐dwelling first grade children and whether parenting behavior mediates and/or moderates the effects of neighborhoods. Fu…
Neighborhood Matters
Differences in racial socialization practices and their effects were examined in a sample of 241 African American 1st graders (average age 6.59 years) living in an urban area. Child outcomes included cognitive development, receptive language skills, and child problem behavior. The cultural environment of the home was associated with higher cognitive scores for boys living in high negative social climate and low social capital neighborhoods and fo…
Neighborhood Poverty, Social Capital, and the Cognitive Development of African American Preschoolers
In this investigation, we examine the impact of the ecological context of the residential neighborhood on the cognitive development of children by considering social processes not only at the family‐level but also at the neighborhood‐level. In a socioeconomically diverse sample of 200 African American children living in 39 neighborhoods in Baltimore, we found that neighborhood poverty was associated with poorer problem‐solving skills over and abo…
Acceptability of a self-sampling technique to collect vaginal smears for gram stain diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis
Experiences of Racism Among African American Parents and the Mental Health of Their Preschool-Aged Children
Experiences of and responses to racism among African American parents have important effects on the well-being of their young children
Intimate Partner Violence, HIV Status, and Sexual Risk Reduction
The Africentric Home Environment Inventory
The sociocultural context of the home is one of the most important socializing environments for young children. In this study, the authors describe an observational measure for racial socialization features of the home environment. Data were collected during home visits to 200 socioeconomically diverse urban African American families with preschool children, and a principal axis factor analysis revealed a single factor with an internal reliabilit…
Perceptions of Parenting
Neighborhood norms are an important determinant of beliefs and attitudes about parenting, and measuring changes in community norms is an important component of evaluating community‐based programs for improving child outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a survey of community residents' perceptions of parenting could be used to measure community parenting norms and whether these perceptions differed by individual or c…
PSOC in community context
Recent years have seen a steady increase in attention to communities as a source of both risk and protective factors for various individual outcomes. Psychological sense of community (PSOC) is one concept which can be important in describing the ways in which real and perceived aspects of community might mediate both individual and community outcomes. To understand the setting-specific interaction of individual and community, it is necessary to e…
Interpersonal conflict and physical violence during the childbearing year
Reducing physical abuse directed at women by male partners is one of the nation's Year 2000 health objectives. An important target group for achieving this health objective is pregnant women. The present study examines the frequency, severity, perpetrators and psychosocial correlates of violence during the childbearing year. A panel of 275 women were interviewed 3 times during pregnancy and at 6 months postpartum. Moderate or severe violence was …
