Patient Citizens, Immigrant Mothers

Mexican Women, Public Prenatal Care, and the Birth Weight Paradox

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

According to the Latina health paradox, Mexican immigrant women have less complicated pregnancies and more favourable birth outcomes than many other groups, in spite of socioeconomic disadvantage. This takes us from inside the halls of a busy metropolitan hospital's public prenatal clinic to the Oaxaca and Puebla states in Mexico to look at the ways Mexican women manage their pregnancies.
