To determine if hours of daily television viewed by varying age groups of young children with Hispanic mothers differs by maternal language preference and to compare these differences with young children with white mothers.
Cross-sectional analysis of data collected in 2000 from the National Survey of Early Childhood Health.
Nationally representative sample.
One thousand three hundred forty-seven mothers of children aged 4 to 35 months.
Subgroups of self-reported maternal race/ethnicity (white or Hispanic) and within Hispanic race/ethnicity, stratification by maternal language preference (English or Spanish).
Hours of daily television the child viewed.
Bivariate analyses showed that children of English- vs Spanish-speaking Hispanic mothers watched more television daily (1.88 vs 1.31 hours, P < .01). Multivariable regression analyses stratified by age revealed differences by age group. Among 4- to 11-month-old infants, those of English- and Spanish-speaking Hispanic mothers watched similar amounts. However, among children aged 12 to 23 and 24 to 35 months, those of English-speaking Hispanic mothers watched more television than children of Spanish-speaking Hispanic mothers (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 1.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-2.22; IRR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.10-2.51, respectively). Compared with children of white mothers, children of both Hispanic subgroups watched similar amounts among the 4- to 11-month-old group. However, among 12- to 23-month-old children, those of English-speaking Hispanic mothers watched more compared with children of white mothers (IRR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.18-2.11). Among 24- to 35-month-old children, those of English-speaking Hispanic mothers watched similar amounts compared with children of white mothers, but children of Spanish-speaking Hispanic mothers watched less (IRR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.50-0.95).
Television-viewing amounts among young children with Hispanic mothers vary by child age and maternal language preference, supporting the need to explore sociocultural factors that influence viewing in Hispanic children.
确定有西班牙裔母亲的不同年龄组幼儿每天看电视的时长是否因母亲的语言偏好而有所不同,并将这些差异与有白人母亲的幼儿进行比较。
对2000年全国幼儿健康调查收集的数据进行横断面分析。
具有全国代表性的样本。
1347名4至35个月大儿童的母亲。
自我报告的母亲种族/族裔亚组(白人或西班牙裔),以及在西班牙裔种族/族裔内部,按母亲的语言偏好(英语或西班牙语)分层。
儿童每天看电视的时长。
双变量分析显示,说英语与说西班牙语的西班牙裔母亲的孩子每天看电视的时间更多(1.88小时对1.31小时,P <.01)。按年龄分层的多变量回归分析显示了年龄组之间的差异。在4至11个月大的婴儿中,说英语和说西班牙语的西班牙裔母亲的孩子看电视的时长相似。然而,在1岁至23个月和24至35个月大的儿童中,说英语的西班牙裔母亲的孩子比说西班牙语的西班牙裔母亲的孩子看电视更多(发病率比[IRR],1.61;95%置信区间[CI],1.17 - 2.22;IRR,1.66;95%CI,1.10 - 2.51)。与白人母亲的孩子相比,两个西班牙裔亚组的孩子在4至11个月大的组中看电视时长相似。然而,在12至23个月大的儿童中,说英语的西班牙裔母亲的孩子比白人母亲的孩子看电视更多(IRR,1.57;95%CI,1.18 - 2.11)。在24至35个月大的儿童中,说英语的西班牙裔母亲的孩子与白人母亲的孩子看电视时长相似,但说西班牙语的西班牙裔母亲的孩子看电视较少(IRR,0.69;95%CI,0.50 - 0.95)。
有西班牙裔母亲的幼儿看电视的时长因孩子年龄和母亲的语言偏好而异,这支持了探索影响西班牙裔儿童看电视的社会文化因素的必要性。
