This literature that is systematic aims to donate to the literary works by trying to enhance our understanding of the Latina paradox by critically examining the existing empirical proof to explore how documentation status is calculated that can be theorized to affect maternity results among this populace. We hypothesize that paperwork status will affect maternity results so that appropriate status (among foreign-born Latinas) will soon be protective for maternity outcomes (being undocumented will increase danger for undesirable results). We specify this among foreign-born Latinas, because we realize that U.S.-born Latinas (despite having status that is legal are more inclined to have worse maternity results. This assessment will further elucidate just exactly how Latinas’ vulnerability to outcomes that are adverse shaped and reified by paperwork status. This review has three objectives: to (1) synthesize the empirical evidence on the relationship between documentation status and pregnancy outcomes among Latina women in the United States; (2) examine how these studies define and operationalize documentation status in this context; and (3) make recommendations of how a more comprehensive methodological approach can guide public health research on the impact of documentation status on Latina immigrants to the United States to achieve our aim
Practices
We conducted literature queries within PubMed, internet of Science, Academic Re Search Premier, and Bing Scholar for studies that analyzed the relationship between paperwork pregnancy and status results (Appendix Table A1). We used search phrases (including word-form variations) methodically across all databases to recapture: (1) populace of great interest (Hispanic, Latina); (2) visibility of great interest (documents or appropriate status); and (3) outcomes of great interest ( ag e outpersonals indir.g., preterm birth PTB, LBW, pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, GWG).Continue reading
