Purpose. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into attitudes and perceptions about smoking during pregnancy, passive smoke exposure, barriers to quitting, and program preferences among women in a low-income, ethnically diverse setting. Design. Nine focus group discussions were conducted with African-American, Native American, and white women. Discussions were moderated by local residents who shared the same ethnic background as group participants. Setting. Discussions were held in neighborhood centers and clinics in an urban area. Subjects. A total of 57 women participated. Moderators recruited participants from within their social networks and from neighborhood programs. The informal process of recruitment did not allow calculation of response rates. Measures. A series of open-ended questions with selected probes was used to guide the conversation. Results. Participants were aware that smoking during pregnancy is harmful and were concerned to varying degrees about their smoking behavior. Most women who smoked took active steps to reduce the risks. Actions were frequently accompanied by beliefs that rationalized moderate levels of smoking. While concerned, women were uncertain about what constituted harmful, passive smoke exposure. Personal barriers to quitting included being around others who smoked, feelings of stress and boredom, addiction, and not believing smoking is dangerous enough. Participants tended to value pregnancy-related advice from female friends and relatives over advice from professionals. Conclusions. Results suggest that many women respond to warnings about smoking during pregnancy, but actions are not necessarily measured, in quit rates. Misconceptions about the risks may help to rationalize continued smoking. Subjects lacked knowledge about how best to reduce the risks of passive smoke. Educational efforts may be effective when directed at networks of women who share information. The nature of qualitative data collection prevents extrapolation of these results to a larger population.

Abstract There are few reports of transferrin saturation (TfSat) and serum ferritin (SF) phenotypes and HFE C282Y and H63D genotypes in native Americans. We compared initial screening data of 645 native American and 43,453 white HEIRS Study participants who reported a single race/ethnicity and who did not report a previous diagnosis of hemochromatosis or iron overload. Each underwent TfSat and SF measurements without regard to fasting, and HFE C282Y and H63D genotyping. Elevated measurements were defined as: TfSat >50% (men), >45% (women); and SF >300 ng/mL (men), >200 ng/mL (women). Mean TfSat was lower in native American men than in white men (31% vs. 32%, respectively; p = 0.0337), and lower in native American women than in white women (25% vs. 27%, respectively; p <0.0001). Mean SF was similar in native American and white men (153 μg/L vs. 151 μg/L; p = 0.8256); mean SF was lower in native American women than in white women (55 μg/L vs. 63 μg/L, respectively; p = 0.0015). The respective percentages of native American men and women with elevated TfSat or elevated SF were similar to those of white men and women. The respective mean TfSat and SF values of native American and white participants with genotype HFE wt/wt were similar. The C282Y allele frequency was 0.0340 in native Americans and 0.0683 in whites (p <0.0001). The H63D allele frequency was 0.1150 in native Americans and 0.1532 in whites (p = 0.0001). We conclude that the screening TfSat and SF phenotypes of native Americans do not differ greatly from those of whites. The respective allele frequencies of HFE C282Y and H63D are significantly lower in native Americans than in whites.

50 white women and 50 black women, US citizens between the ages 18 and 23 years, were asked to rate their attitudes about interracial marriage on a 10-point response scale. The white women were somewhat more favorable, if not significantly so, than the black women about men and women of their race marrying persons of another race. However, scorers at the extremes of the scale were significantly different. The white women tended to cluster at the scale extreme favoring interracial marriage, whereas the black women tended to cluster at the other unfavorable extreme. Implications and research needs are discussed.

Abstract: Gestasional diabetes mellitus in mother is an important risk factor for developing fetal macrosomia. Gestational diabetes mellitus is defined as glucose intolerance of variable degree with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus in Indonesia is 1.9% -3.6% of pregnancies in general. The prevalence of gestational diabetes is strongly related to the patient's race and culture. Prevalence rates are higher in black, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian women than in white women. This was an analytical study with a case control design by using medical records in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital Manado period September 2012-2013. The results showed that there was no relationship between macrosomia with gestational diabetes mellitus. Gestational diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for having a macrosomia baby. Risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus and macrosomia are also widely available on the subjects include age > 35 years, obesity and multiparity.Keywords: macrosomia, gestational diabetes mellitus, diabetes melitusAbstrak: Diabetes melitus gestasional (DMG) pada ibu merupakan faktor risiko yang penting dalam perkembangan makrosomia fetus.

Although it outlawed chattel slavery, antebellum California permitted the virtual enslavement of Native Americans under the 1850 Act for the Government and Protection of Indians. Drawing data from a rare and valuable cache of Indian indenture records at the Colusa County courthouse and interpreting them through the lens of Henry Bailey's candid pioneer memoir, this article offers a detailed case study of bound Native American labor and Indian slave trafficking in Northern California's Sacramento Valley. While never comprising a majority of the state's rural work force, bound Indian laborers proved essential to California's rise as a major agricultural producer. Compensating for the dearth of white women and children in male-dominated Gold Rush society and providing a vital alternative source of labor in an expensive free wage market, captive Indian farm hands and domestic servants enabled pioneer farm operations and communities to flourish throughout the formative 1850s and 1860s.

INTRODUCTION: Santa Clara County, California is a multi-racial community with a large Asian and Hispanic representation (30.6% Asian, 31.8% White and 31.9% Hispanics). The annual incidence of non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in our population is higher than the national average (29.2% vs. 13%) and the proportion of Asian patients with ICH is higher than expected (46.5% vs. 30.6% ). The reasons for the higher incidence of ICH in Asian populations are not known. We conducted a retrospective review of all cases of ICH in two Primary Stroke Centers in Santa Clara County, California to test the hypothesis that certain co-morbidities may explain the higher incidence of ICH in our community. METHODS: All cases of ICH admitted to two PSCs were abstracted from the Get With The Guidelines database. Data abstracted included racial and ethnic distribution (White, African American, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American and Hispanic), age, sex, and selected co-morbidities (diabetes mellitus, hypertension and warfarin use. FINDINGS: There were a total of 260 patients. The total number of Pacific Islanders (4), Native Americans (1) and African Americans (13) was too small for further analysis and was not included. The age and sex distribution was similar between White, Asian and Hispanic patients but White women were significantly older (p = 0.018) than males. The rate of warfarin use was similar in all three groups. There was a higher incidence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in Asian and Hispanics compared to White subjects ( Table ). Asian and Hispanic patients with hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus were at higher risk for ICH compared to White ( Table ). CONCLUSION: In our population, the incidence of ICH is disproportionately high in Asian subjects compared to Whites and Hispanics. This increase is only partially explained by higher incidence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in Asians. Other factors, not included in the available databases, may include the geographic origin of Asian and Hispanic subjects (East vs. South Asian, North, Central or South American) and a generational effect on co-morbidities. Future epidemiological studies should include geographic and generational, as well as racial and ethnic data.
