这项研究探索了在具有全国代表性的美国女性样本中，生育力特定痛苦是否因种族/民族而异。参加全国生育障碍调查的有2363名白人(n=1266)、黑人(n=569)、西班牙裔(n=453)和亚裔(n=51)女性。参与者被给予生育特定苦恼量表，并评估怀孕意向的强度、原发不孕与继发不孕以及社会经济困难。黑人女性报告的生育特定痛苦程度低于白人女性，但这些都完全受到怀孕意图的影响。原发不孕症与继发性不孕症和经济困难与特定生育能力的痛苦无关。
This study explored whether fertility-specific distress varied by race/ethnicity among a nationally representative sample of US women. Participants were 2363 White (n = 1266), Black (n = 569), Hispanic (n = 453), and Asian (n = 51) women who participated in the National Survey of Fertility Barriers. Participants were given the Fertility-Specific Distress Scale and assessed for strength of pregnancy intent, primary versus secondary infertility, and socioeconomic hardship. Black women reported lower levels of fertility-specific distress than White women, but these were fully mediated by the strength of pregnancy intentions. Primary versus secondary infertility and economic hardship were not associated with fertility-specific distress.
