在美国，墨西哥移民妇女通常比非西班牙裔白色妇女有更好的健康结果，尽管有更大的健康风险。这项横断面初步研究比较了生活在米却肯州查文达的妇女（n = 102）和从墨西哥移民到加州马德拉的妇女（n = 93）。访谈收集了关于文化适应和风险行为的信息，包括吸烟、饮酒和性伴侣数量。结果表明，生活在美国的文化适应度越高的女性越有可能饮酒。美国居住和较高的文化适应水平与有一个以上的性伴侣略有相关。查文达和马德拉妇女吸烟的几率没有差异。虽然由于样本量小，文化适应的结果并不总是显著的，但结果表明，美国移民西班牙裔妇女的文化适应可能与不良健康行为有关，选择性移民似乎不太可能解释这些差异。
In the US, Mexican immigrant women often have better health outcomes than non-Hispanic white women despite a greater health risk profile. This cross-sectional pilot study compared women living in Chavinda, Michoacán (n = 102) to women who had migrated from Mexico to Madera, California (n = 93). The interview gathered information on acculturation and risk behaviors including smoking, alcohol use and number of sexual partners. The results suggest that more acculturated women living in the US are more likely to consume alcohol. US residence and higher acculturation level was marginally associated with having more than one sexual partner. There were no differences between odds of smoking among Chavinda and Madera women. While results with acculturation are not consistently significant due to small sample sizes, the results are suggestive that acculturation among immigrant Hispanic women in the US may be associated with adverse health behaviors, and selective migration seems less likely to account for these differences.
