Cardiovascular Disease and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Older Adults

Methods: Data were from the 2011-2015 Health Outcomes Survey. HRQOL was assessed using the Veterans RAND 12-Item Survey, composed of physical (PCS) and mental component scores (MCS). Lower scores represent worse health. Multivariate r…

Burden and Bad Days Among Mexican-Origin Women Caregivers
Findings shed light on the mixed results found in the literature on Latino caregiving burden. Results suggest that Mexican-origin women caregivers have a more nuanced experience of caregiving burden than has been found in prior literature. Results also suggest research using traditional measures of burden may not fully capture situational and cultural distinctions to the extent Mexican-origin caregivers ascribe other language to represent difficu…

Racial/Ethnic Variation in the Impact of the Affordable Care Act on Insurance Coverage and Access Among Young Adults
Objectives. To examine the impact of the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) 2010 parental insurance coverage extension to young adults aged 19 to 25 years on health insurance coverage and access to care, including racial/ethnic disparities. Methods. We pooled data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System for the periods 2007 to 2009 and 2011 to 2013 (n = 402 777). We constructed quasiexperimental difference-in-differences models in which ad…
The Processes of Becoming a Caregiver Among Mexican-Origin Women
This article describes thematic findings that emerged from an in-depth analysis of interview data collected from 44 informal caregivers in East Los Angeles, California. The research question addressed in this paper is "How do Mexican-origin women describe becoming oriented to or familiarized with the caregiving role and its associated responsibilities?" A cultural psychological perspective guided the study, which used a thematic analysis approach…
Beliefs and expectations of family and nursing home care among Mexican-origin caregivers
This study examined perceptions of family care, nursing homes, and expectations of future care among 85 Mexican-origin women caregivers, some who lived in Mexico City and some who lived in East Los Angeles, California (East LA). Attitudes of Mexican-born women-living in Mexico City and in East LA-were more similar to each other than those of U.S.-born women. Most caregivers reported a preference for family care and had negative views of instituti…
The Perceived Role of Family in Heroin Use Behaviors of Mexican–American Men
Preventive Services Use Among African American and Latino Adult Caregivers in South Los Angeles
BACKGROUND: The burden of informal caregiving is significant and well-documented, yet the evidence is mixed as to whether being a caregiver presents an additional barrier to receiving recommended preventive care. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether (1) caregivers compared with noncaregivers were less likely to receive preventive health services; and (2) higher intensity caregivers were less likely to receive preventive health services than lower int…
The Concept of Familism in the Lived Experiences of Mexican-Origin Caregivers
This study qualitatively examined the experiences of Mexican-origin women caring for elderly family members in order to identify aspects of familism in their caregiving situations. Data were collected from one-time interviews with 44 caregivers living in the greater East Los Angeles area. Kinscripts guided the framing of familism in this study. Data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Caregivers' descriptions of the Mexican family ref…
Community as a source of health in three racial/ethnic communities in Oregon
This study's findings provide insight to the social contexts which operate in the lives of some Latinos and American Indians in Oregon. While participants identified community-level factors as important to health, they focused more on the social connections of individuals to each other and the relationships that residents have with their communities at-large. Our findings may also help to explain how the intra- and inter-personal levels, the comm…
Marianismo and Caregiving Role Beliefs Among U.S.-Born and Immigrant Mexican Women
Our findings highlight the complexity of language and culture in underlying caregiving concepts, making the concepts challenging to operationalize and define in a heterogeneous sample of Latinos
Leveraging Family Values to Decrease Unhealthy Alcohol Use in Aging Latino Day Laborers
Psychosocial and Cognitive Health Differences by Caregiver Status Among Older Mexican Americans

METHODS: California Health Interview Survey 2001 data were analyzed for medical care, dental care, and/or prescription drug purchases in Mexico in the previous year. Logistic regressions estimated the effect on use of need, availability, accessibility, and acceptability among immigrants from Mexico. RESULTS: An estimated 952,000 C…

Methods.Finally, calibration ensured the consistency and stability of the estimates when they were aggregated. Results. Health insurance coverage among nonelderly persons varied widely across assembly districts, from 10% to 44%. The ut…
