ADVERSE EFFECT OF NATIVITY?

[摘要] U.S.-born Mexican-Americans have higher rates of low birth weight and infant mortality than Mexico-born Americans despite the latter group's lower education and later entry into prenatal care . . . Higher rates of smoking and teen births explain only a small part (21%) of the higher low birth weight rate in U.S.-born Mexican-Americans.
