An investigation of whether socioeconomic status differences between Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, & Puerto Ricans are reflected in the health levels of their children. Data are drawn from the 1982 Hispanic Health & Nutrition Examination Survey, in which a medical history & a physical examination were completed on 309 Cuban-American, 945 Puerto Rican, & 2,761 Mexican-American children. The findings show that differences in socioeconomic status affect the health of children. Among Hispanic children, Puerto Ricans are seriously health-disadvantaged, while Mexican Americans enjoy the highest level of health. 6 Tables, 30 References. Adapted from the source document.

Indicates that Mexican Americans are fairly healthy. Although they have higher rates of mortality from homicide, diabetes, and liver disease than non-Hispanics, they die less often from cancer, lung disease, or heart disease. Cuban American children's health is consistent with their generally advantaged economic position. Puerto Rican children suffer far more health problems than either Cuban American or Mexican American children. (SJK)

The authors conducted a correlational study of 98 parents of children with hearing loss to determine the relationships among the parents' stress levels, their reported coping strategies, and the demographic characteristics of themselves and their hearing-impaired children. One unexpected finding was the low level of stress expressed by the sample. One predicted relationship was found. The communicative ability through signing of the child was significantly related to level of stress. The predicted relationships between a parent's marital status, a parent's educational level, the child's sex, and the age at onset of the hearing loss were not confirmed. The study revealed that racial and ethnic group membership was significantly related to the degree of use of several coping strategies. Hispanics differed significantly from African Americans in that they made greater use of coping strategies.
