They frequently experience health disadvantages relative to the respective majority populations. Birth cohort studies can help to disentangle social and biological factors producing these health inequalities over the life course. We investigated whether birth cohorts in European countries (i) assess migration history and ethnicity in the study design; and (ii) use this information in data analyses. Methods: A scoping review was performed in which European birth cohort studies were identified using dedicated web-based registries, MEDLINE and EMBASE. Two reviewers systematically assessed all identified birth cohorts and selected those fulfilling defined inclusion criteria (e.g. enrolment after 1980). Publications and websites were screened for information on the inclusion of migrants and ethnic minorities. To obtain more detailed information, researchers of enrolled birth cohorts were contacted individually. Results: Eighty-eight birth cohorts were identified in 20 European countries, with more than 486 250 children enrolled in total. Sixty-two studies (70.5\%) reported collecting data about migration history or ethnic background. Twenty-three studies (26\%) used information on migration history or ethnicity for data analyses or plan to do so in future. Conclusion: The majority of European birth cohorts assessed participants' migration history or ethnic background; however, this information was seldom used for comparative analyses in trying to disentangle reasons for health inequalities. Also, heterogeneous indicators were used. Better use of data already available, as well as harmonization of data collection on migration history and ethnicity, could yield interesting insights into the production of health inequalities.}, language = {en} } @misc{DoyleBorrmannGrosseretal., author = {Doyle, Ina-Merle and Borrmann, Brigitte and Grosser, Angelique and Razum, Oliver and Spallek, Jacob}, title = {Determinants of dietary patterns and diet quality during pregnancy: a systematic review with narrative synthesis}, series = {Public Health Nutrition}, journal = {Public Health Nutrition}, issn = {1475-2727}, doi = {10.1017/S1368980016002937}, pages = {1 -- 20}, language = {en} } @misc{GrosserHoellerHoltrichterDoyleetal., author = {Grosser, Angelique and H{\"o}ller-Holtrichter, Chantal and Doyle, Ina-Merle and Schmitz, Jutta and Hoffmann, Renata and Ergin-Akkoyun, Emine and Mauro, Antonia and Breckenkamp, J{\"u}rgen and Razum, Oliver and Spallek, Jacob}, title = {Rekrutierungsstrategien f{\"u}r Migrantinnen in einer Geburtskohorte am Beispiel der BaBi-Studie}, series = {Das Gesundheitswesen}, volume = {81}, journal = {Das Gesundheitswesen}, number = {8/9}, issn = {0941-3790}, doi = {10.1055/a-0600-2392}, pages = {621 -- 628}, abstract = {Die Rekrutierung von Studienteilnehmern aller relevanten Bev{\"o}lkerungsgruppen stellt eine der Herausforderungen in der (sozial-)epidemiologischen Forschung dar. Es existiert eine Vielzahl von Strategien, die der Rekrutierung von ethnischen Minderheiten und bestimmter Migrantengruppen dienen k{\"o}nnen. Unklar ist bisher, ob diese Strategien auch bei der Etablierung einer Geburtskohorte geeignet sind. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Darstellung und Evaluation von Rekrutierungsstrategien f{\"u}r Migrantinnen in einer Geburtskohorte am Beispiel der BaBi-Studie. Die Rekrutierung erfolgte von Oktober 2013 bis Oktober 2016. Als Vorbereitung wurden Fokusgruppen mit Schwangeren und M{\"u}ttern und leitfadengest{\"u}tzte Experteninterviews mit Hebammen und Gyn{\"a}kologInnen durchgef{\"u}hrt, um Studienmaterialien, Befragungsinstrumente und Sprachpr{\"a}ferenzen zu pr{\"u}fen. In der Vorstudie wurden unterschiedliche Rekrutierungswege getestet. Im Rekrutierungsverlauf fand eine kontinuierliche Evaluation statt, um erfolgreiche Rekrutierungsstrategien f{\"u}r Teilnehmerinnen mit Migrationshintergrund zu ermitteln und anzupassen. Von den eingeschlossenen 980 Teilnehmerinnen hatten 390 einen Migrationshintergrund (40\%). Es wurden aktive und passive Rekrutierungsstrategien verfolgt, in denen u. a. t{\"u}rkische {\"U}bersetzungen und multikulturelles Personal zum Einsatz kamen. F{\"u}r die passive Rekrutierung {\"u}ber gyn{\"a}kologische Praxen und Hebammen mussten die schwangeren Frauen und W{\"o}chnerinnen eine hohe Motivation f{\"u}r die Rekrutierung mitbringen. Die aktive Rekrutierung in den Geburtskliniken (Ansprache durch Study-Nurses) erh{\"o}hte den Anteil an Teilnehmerinnen mit Migrationshintergrund von 22 auf 49\% aller Teilnehmerinnen. Durch fr{\"u}hzeitige {\"U}berpr{\"u}fungen und Anpassungen der Zugangswege konnte die Teilnahmebereitschaft erh{\"o}ht werden. F{\"u}r die Rekrutierung von Frauen mit Migrationshintergrund sind gr{\"u}ndliche Vorbereitungen in Form von Befragungen (Fokusgruppen, Leitfadeninterviews) und einer Vorstudie sinnvoll. Von Beginn an sind Verfahren zur fr{\"u}hzeitigen Evaluation der unterschiedlichen Rekrutierungsstrategien und ein erh{\"o}hter Personalaufwand (z. B. f{\"u}r (R{\"u}ck-/ {\"U}bersetzungen) einzuplanen).

Methodik: Datengrundlage der vorliegenden Untersuchung waren Baseline und erstes Follow-Up der Bielefelder Geburtskohorte BaBi (2013 - 2016, n = 777). Angaben zur Stilldauer, Einf{\"u}hrung von Beikost sowie der Getr{\"a}nkegabe vor und w{\"a}hrend der Einf{\"u}hrung von Beikost wurden telefonisch erhoben, als die S{\"a}uglinge zwischen neun und 12 Monaten alt waren. Einflussfaktoren auf die Beikosteinf{\"u}hrung wurden mittels bi-und multivariater Datenanalyse untersucht. Ergebnisse: Bei Einf{\"u}hrung der Beikost waren die S{\"a}uglinge im Mittel 5,4 ± 1,2 Monate alt. 2,6\% der S{\"a}uglinge waren j{\"u}nger als vier Monate, 12,5\% der S{\"a}uglinge waren {\"a}lter als 6,5 Monate. Lineare Regressionsanalysen zeigten eine direkte Assoziation zwischen der ausschließlichen Stilldauer bzw. dem S{\"a}uglingsalter bei letzter Mutter-/S{\"a}uglingsmilchgabe und dem Beikostbeginn (b = 0,31 [95\%KI = 0,26 - 0,36; p ≤ 0,001; b = 0,12 [95\% KI 0,07 - 0,18], p ≤ 0,001).

In Germany, national guidelines recommend fully breastfeeding for at least 4 months, a goal reached by only 34\% of mothers in 2012.

Hardly modifiable factors such as socio-economic status and migration background have been associated with duration of breastfeeding but little is known about the impact of psychosocial factors such as personality traits and social support. We hypothesise that there are differences in the psychosocial profiles of mothers regarding the duration of breastfeeding. Methods: We analyse baseline and follow-up data of the Bielefeld BaBi birth cohort (2013-16). They include detailed migration and socio-economic backgrounds, as well as three measures of psychological characteristics: the optimism scale, the Big Five inventory and the locus of control scales. We perform bivariate and multivariate analyses in order to identify psychosocial determinants of fully breastfeeding for four and six months. Results: Out of 780 BaBi study participants, 548 fully breastfed for four months (70.3\%), of which 279 continued until at least six months (35.8\%). Logistic regression analyses show that fully breastfeeding for at least four or six months is independently associated with the intention to breastfeed and the attendance of antenatal class during this or previous pregnancies. Personality characteristics, social status and migration background show however no significant association with breastfeeding duration. Conclusions: Our study results support the promotion of individuals' breastfeeding intention and attendance to antenatal classes to increase breastfeeding duration.

We compared breastfeeding practices among women with and without a migration background in Bielefeld, Germany, using data from a birth cohort. Methods: In 2013-16, we conducted 967 standardised interviews with women aged over 18 during pregnancy or shortly after birth, collecting data on breastfeeding uptake and duration intention, as well as on socio-economic and migration background. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed, adjusting for clinical factors (e.g. age, parity, birthweight). Results: Breastfeeding uptake was more common among women with a migration background than among non-immigrants (88.9\% vs. 83\%, p < 0.05). It was particularly high among 2nd and 3rd generation women (92\%). Women with a migration background tended to intend to breastfeed longer than non-immigrants (6.2\% vs 7.6\% between 6 months and one year and 0.67\% vs. 2.53\% beyond one year). When controlling for clinical and socio-economic characteristics, only a statistically significant correlation between breastfeeding uptake and the opinion of the mother and of the partner with regard to breastfeeding remained, with a negative opinion decreasing the chances of uptake (OR 0.5; CI 0.25-0.79 and OR 0.2; CI 0.12-0.36, respectively). Mothers and partners of women with migration background were more likely to strongly support breastfeeding than those of non-immigrants. Duration intention was positively associated with having a migration background (1.98; CI 1.10-3.55) and negatively associated with income, with higher income decreasing likelihood of breastfeeding beyond 6 months (OR 0.6; CI 0.44-0.94). Conclusions: This study found differences in breastfeeding uptake and duration intention among women with and without a migration background. This calls for public health actions targeting different socio-economic groups if one wants to come closer to the WHO recommended breastfeeding rates.
