Childhood Cancer Risk in Hispanic Enclaves in California
Residence in Hispanic enclaves may be a proxy measure of acculturation. Since acculturation among Hispanic women has been associated with unhealthy behaviors in pregnancy and adverse birth and child health outcomes, we assessed whether living in Hispanic enclaves during pregnancy affects childhood cancer risk among Hispanics. Cancer cases (n = 6,111) were identified from the California Cancer Registry between 1988 and 2013. Control children (n = …
Depression is associated with poor physical health through lower distress tolerance among adults experiencing homelessness
Research is limited on the association between depression and perceived health status and the underlying mechanisms linking these variables among adults experiencing homelessness.

This qualitative study was undertaken to explore individual, sociocultural, and contextual factors influencing African-American women's BR decision-making processes and preferences.

Participants were recruited from a shelter in Dallas, Texas (N = 354; Mage = 43.7 ± 11.7) and were predominantly uninsured, low-income men from various racial groups. The outcome variables…
