Acculturation predicts gestational age. A, Greater maternal acculturation predicts early gestational age at birth (R2 = 0.09, p = .03, multiple regression). B, Mothers of preterm infants (<37 weeks; n = 11) had marginally higher acculturation than mothers with term infants (n = 43; t = −2.95, df = 53, p = 0.03). Analyses are covaried for age, but age is not included in the figures. SASH = Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics.
