关于使用产前护理服务方面的种族差异的资料非常有限。本研究的目的是探讨社会人口，健康行为，医疗风险和心理社会风险因素对产前护理的时机之间的黑人，墨西哥裔美国人，和最近的墨西哥移民妇女在洛杉矶。采用结构式问卷对107例初产妇进行了调查。获得的信息包括社会经济指标、与婴儿父亲的关系、产前护理的时间、心理社会因素和怀孕前的物质使用。种族模式的产前护理的时间没有显着差异。与婴儿父亲的关系与产前护理的早期时间和更多的产前护理访问有关。怀孕前的物质使用显着相关的总访问次数为这次怀孕。
There is very limited information on ethnic differences in use of prenatal care services. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of sociodemographic, health behaviors, medical risk, and psychosocial risk factors on the timing of prenatal care among Black-American, Mexican-American, and recent Mexican immigrant women in Los Angeles. A sample of 107 primiparous women were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Information obtained included socioeconomic indicators, relationship with baby's father, timing of prenatal care, psychosocial factors, and substance use before pregnancy. Ethnic patterns of timing of prenatal care revealed no significant differences. The relationship with the baby's father was associated with early timing of prenatal care and more prenatal care visits. Substance use before pregnancy was significantly related to total number of visits for this pregnancy.
