Acculturation predicts perinatal outcomes. A, Greater maternal acculturation marginally predicts low infant birth weight (R2=0.56, p = .07, multiple regression). B, Mothers of low-birth-weight infants (<2500g; n = 9) had significantly higher acculturation scores than mothers of infants with birth weight greater than 2500 g (n = 45) (t = −2.21, df = 53, p = 0.005). Analyses are covaried for age, but age is not included in the figures. SASH = Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics.
