The present analysis sought to determine the usefulness and validity of the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH) in assessment of acculturation among Hispanics participating in a colorectal cancer screening study. Primary data was collected from 2008 to 2009 through surveys in East Harlem community-based sites and health clinics among Hispanics. Bivariate correlations and independent samples t tests assessed SASH correlation with acculturation proxies and relationships between proxies, SASH, and sociodemographics. SASH was highly correlated with commonly used acculturation proxies; inter-scale correlations and alpha scores were high. Sociodemographics associated with proxy variables were associated with SASH. In conclusion, SASH is useful and valid for assessing acculturation among Hispanics; however, a shortened version or acculturation proxy variables could also be utilized.
本分析旨在确定西班牙裔简短文化适应量表（SASH）在评估参与结直肠癌筛查研究的西班牙裔人群文化适应情况时的实用性和有效性。2008年至2009年，通过对东哈莱姆社区站点和健康诊所中的西班牙裔人群进行调查收集了原始数据。双变量相关性分析和独立样本t检验评估了SASH与文化适应替代指标的相关性，以及替代指标、SASH和社会人口统计学之间的关系。SASH与常用的文化适应替代指标高度相关；量表间的相关性和阿尔法系数得分都很高。与替代变量相关的社会人口统计学因素也与SASH相关。总之，SASH在评估西班牙裔人群的文化适应情况时是有用且有效的；然而，也可以使用缩短版或文化适应替代变量。
