Formulation and Validation of a Composite Migration History Score for Epidemiological Research in Mexican American Women
B. M. Chakraborty
Sažetak
This research developed a composite migration history score, using data on birth
places of subjects, and their parents and grand parents, and the length of residence in
US from 390 overweight Mexican American women. The derived migration history
score is validated through a factor analysis of the nine dimensional migration history
variables. The importance of this methodology of defining migration history score for
epidemiological research is discussed in the context of studying the role of migration
-related health behavior changes and their consequent impact on risks of untoward
health outcomes in migrants.
