Isi artikel

Scholars have interrogated the constructs assessed by acculturation measures and have concluded that they overlook significant structural factors associated with Latino health disparities (Hunt, Schneider, & Comer, 2004; Viruell-Fuentes, 2007; Zambrana & Carter-Pokras, in press). In their article in this issue "Defining and measuring acculturation: A systematic review of public health studies with Hispanic populations in the United States" Thomson and Hoffman-Goetz (2009) review 134 public health studies of Latinos in the United States (U.S.), and conclude that there was "considerable variation in the definition and measurement of" acculturation.
