Determinants Of Breastfeeding

This article develops an economic model for assessing Mexican agricultural migrants decision to breastfeed. The resulting hypotheses from our model are linked to health care and welfare program access, cultural factors, and employment. Using a probit analysis of our variables, a major finding is that non-traditional practices such as out of home childcare, birth control and alcohol use have a negative impact on the probability of breastfeeding. We also found that working women in our sample population are less likely to breastfeed.

Hiv Aids

Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980’s, there have been stereotypes about certain groups of people being infected with the disease. This paper is based on a qualitative study consisting of twenty (n=20) interviews with Mexican migrant women in Southeast Idaho. The study investigated who Mexican migrant women believe are most likely to be infected with HIV, and then analyzed the beliefs in a socio-cultural context, examining a loss of both social and material capital as a catalyst for these beliefs.
