We used logistic regression and calculated crude odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). <jats:bold>RESULTS<\/jats:bold>: Hispanic mothers who reported the highest level of income were 80% less likely to deliver babies with spina bifida. In addition, highly educated Hispanic and white mothers had 76 and 35% lower risk, respectively. Other factors showing differing effects for spina bifida in Hispanics included maternal age, parity, and gestational diabetes. For spina bifida there was no significant elevated risk for U.S.\u2013born Hispanics, relative to whites, but for anencephaly, corresponding ORs ranged from 1.9 to 2.3. The highest risk for spina bifida was observed for recent Hispanic immigrant parents from Mexico or Central America residing in the United States &lt;5 years (OR = 3.28, 95% CI = 1.46\u20137.37). <jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:bold>: Less acculturated Hispanic parents seemed to be at highest risk of NTDs. For anencephaly, U.S.\u2013born and English\u2010speaking Hispanic parents were also at increased risk. Finally, from an etiologic standpoint, spina bifida and anencephaly appeared to be etiologically heterogeneous from these analyses.
