Prenatal psychosocial stress has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, even after controlling for known risk factors. This paper aims to evaluate correlates of high perceived stress among Hispanic women, a group with elevated rates of stress during pregnancy. We conducted this analysis among 1,426 pregnant Hispanic women using data from Proyecto Buena Salud, a prospective cohort study conducted in Western Massachusetts. Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) validated in English and Spanish was administered in early (mean = 12.4 weeks gestation), mid (mean = 21.3 weeks gestation) and late (mean = 30.8 weeks gestation) pregnancy at which time bilingual interviewers collected data on socio-demographic, acculturation, behavioral, and psychosocial factors. High perceived stress was defined as a PSS score > 30. Young maternal age (odds ratio (OR) = 0.6; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.4-0.9 for < 19 vs. 19-23 years), pre-pregnancy consumption of alcohol (OR = 2.2; 95 % CI 1.4-3.5 for > 12 drinks/month vs. none) and smoking (OR = 2.2; 95 % CI 1.3-3.7 for > 10 cigarettes/day vs. none) were associated with high perceived stress during early pregnancy. Furthermore, higher annual household income (OR = 0.4; 95 % CI 0.1-0.9 for >$30,000 vs.
