In addition, the US Census 2000 population estimates include 12.5% Hispanic/Latino in the generalpopulation.To represent the variety of cultural and ethnic groups within the Latino population of the UnitedStates, Spanish-speaking children were proportionally selected for the sample to reflect the majorcultural backgrounds groups indicated in the 2000 U.S. Census (2000, 2001). These groupsincluded the following categories: Central and South American, Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican,and “other” Hispanic. For the purposes of this research, the mother’s country of origin was usedto determine cultural background. If the mother’s country of origin was not available, the father’scountry of origin was used. Table 5b depicts the cultural background distribution by geographicregion for Spanish-speaking children.Table 5b.

Table 6 depicts the distribution ofthe number of adults and children in the home for each language group and the project sample.These results suggest that children in the Spanish-speaking sample tended to live in homes withslightly larger numbers of adults and children.47
