Abstract

The accompanying prospective national cohort study by Hawkins and colleagues adds to the literature on acculturation (the social and psychological exchanges that take place when different cultural groups interact), health disparities, and the use of alcohol and tobacco during pregnancy. It finds that after women immigrate to England, their maternal health behaviours worsen as their length of residency increases.
