Immigration and the Health of Asian and Pacific Islander Adults in the United States

Fraternities and rape on campus
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the norms and dynamics of the social construction of fraternities reveals the highly masculinist features of fraternity structure and process, including concern with a narrow, stereotypical conception of masculinity and heterosexuality; a preoccupation with loyalty, protection of the group, and secrecy; the use of alcohol as a weapon against women's sexual reluctance; the pervasiveness of violence and physical force; and an obsession with competition, superiority, and dominance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paradox found (again): infant mortality among the Mexican-origin population in the United States.
TL;DR: Detailed age-specific infant mortality rates by maternal race/ethnicity and nativity are calculated, showing that first-hour, first-day, and first-week mortality rates among infants born in the United States to Mexican immigrant women are about 10% lower than those experienced by infants of non-Hispanic, white U.S. women.
