This research brief is based on an analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997-2003 2, conducted by Child Trends in collaboration with the CDC. It seeks to better illustrate the complexities that exist within Latino populations, as well as the effects of acculturation and country of origin on certain risky behavior. Additional analyses focusing on these measures would generate greater understanding of the effect of acculturation, and more specific information could be used to develop teen pregnancy prevention programs, services, and messages that are better tailored to the needs of the diverse Latino community. This brief is based on the analyses conducted for the full report by: McDonald, J.A., Manlove,J., and Ikramullah, E (2009) "Immigration Measures and Reproductive Health Among Hispanic Youth: Findings from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997-2003". |
