来自营养服务诊所的100名低收入西班牙裔和50名白色母亲的访谈数据扩展了先前关于儿童意外伤害风险的文化差异的研究。预计在报告的伤害发生率以及促成因素的患病率和影响方面存在组间差异。正如预测的那样，白色母亲报告的幼儿受伤更多，而在西班牙裔母亲中，英语语言偏好和使用与更多的受伤报告相关。分层回归分析显示，危险的行为，母亲的判断孩子的依从性，和压力的生活事件是更好的预测伤害比住房质量，但在西班牙裔，某些因素（如，儿童气质）的影响是合格的母亲的文化适应水平。压力和儿童气质解释了更多和更少的文化适应的西班牙裔家庭之间的伤害差异，但只有部分解释了白色母亲和更少的文化适应的西班牙裔之间的差异。儿科损伤的风险和保护因素似乎与文化过程一致。
Interview data from 100 lower income Hispanic and 50 White mothers from a nutritional service clinic extended prior research on cultural differences in the risk for unintentional pediatric injuries. Group differences were expected in reported injury incidence and in the prevalence and impact of contributing factors. As predicted, White mothers reported more injuries for a young child, and among Hispanic mothers, English language preference and use were associated with more reported injuries. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that risky behaviors, mother's judgment about child compliance, and stressful life events were better predictors of injuries than housing quality, but among Hispanics, the impact of certain factors (eg, child temperament) was qualified by mother's acculturation level. Stress and child temperament explained injury differences between more-and less-acculturated Hispanic families but only partially accounted for differences between White mothers and less-acculturated Hispanics. Pediatric injury risk and protective factors seemed to operate in concert with cultural processes.
