We compared health behaviors and health outcomes among US-born, African-born, and Caribbean-born pregnant Black women and examined whether sociodemographic and psychosocial characteristics explained differences among these population subgroups. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We analyzed data from a prospective cohort study conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a series of nested logistic regression models predicting tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use and measures of physical and mental health. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. Foreign-born Black women were significantly less likely to engage in substance use and had better self-rated physical and mental health than did native-born Black women. These findings were largely unchanged by adjustment for sociodemographic and psychosocial characteristics. The foreign-born advantage varied by place of birth: it was somewhat stronger for African-born women than for Caribbean-born women. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Further studies are needed to gain a better understanding of the role of immigrant selectivity and other characteristics that contribute to more favorable health behaviors and health outcomes among foreign-born Blacks than among native-born Blacks in the United States. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2009.174755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,24]],"date-time":"2010-09-24T03:49:58Z","timestamp":1285300198000},"page":"2185-2192","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Variations in Health and Health Behaviors by Nativity Among Pregnant Black Women in Philadelphia"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Irma T.","family":"Elo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer F.","family":"Culhane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"844","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"bib1","first-page":"496","volume":"11","author":"Franzini L","year":"2001","journal-title":"Ethn Dis"},{"issue":"1","key":"bib2","first-page":"136","volume":"80","author":"Hummer RA","year":"1999","journal-title":"Soc Sci Q"},{"key":"bib3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sf\/77.3.1083"},{"key":"bib4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1747-7379.2004.tb00193.x"},{"issue":"1","key":"bib5","first-page":"459","volume":"81","author":"Hummer RA","year":"2000","journal-title":"Soc Sci Q"},{"issue":"4","key":"bib6","first-page":"1","volume":"62","author":"Kent MM","year":"2007","journal-title":"Popul Bull"},{"key":"bib7","volume-title":"The Foreign-Born Population: 2000.","author":"Malone N","year":"2003"},{"issue":"2","key":"bib8","first-page":"172","volume":"98","author":"Baker AN","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Natl Med Assoc"},{"key":"bib9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.80.1.70"},{"key":"bib10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.86.6.837"},{"key":"bib11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1353\/sof.2005.0120"},{"key":"bib12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199710233371706"},{"key":"bib13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2006-0665"},{"key":"bib14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a010151"},{"key":"bib15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2747\/0272-3638.28.4.377"},{"key":"bib16","first-page":"227","volume-title":"Critical Perspectives on Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life","author":"Jasso G","year":"2004"},{"key":"bib17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2004-1306"},{"key":"bib18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clp.2008.09.004"},{"key":"bib19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2002.127311"},{"key":"bib20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-6237.2009.00657.x"},{"key":"bib21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0306-4603(95)00050-X"},{"key":"bib22","first-page":"177","volume-title":"Community Surveys of Psychiatric Disorders","author":"Radloff LS","year":"1986"},{"key":"bib23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ambp.2007.12.003"},{"key":"bib24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwf131"},{"key":"bib25","unstructured":"Stata, Version 10 [computer program].
