Very few studies have examined acculturation of Hispanics as it relates to skin cancer prevention attitudes and behaviors. This pilot study used the Abbreviated Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II to classify 14-25-year-old Hispanics as traditional, bicultural, or acculturated. More acculturated individuals reported significantly higher perceived benefits of ultraviolet radiation exposure and lower worry about skin damage than traditional individuals. Bicultural individuals reported using sunscreen significantly more often than acculturated individuals. These preliminary data suggest that more acculturated Hispanic young adults may demonstrate riskier skin cancer-related attitudes and behaviors than others.
很少有研究探讨西班牙裔的文化适应与皮肤癌预防态度和行为之间的关系。这项试点研究使用了墨西哥裔美国人二代简化文化适应评定量表,将14至25岁的西班牙裔分为传统型、双文化型或文化适应型。与传统型个体相比,文化适应程度更高的个体报告称,他们认为紫外线辐射暴露的益处显著更大,且对皮肤损伤的担忧更低。双文化型个体报告使用防晒霜的频率明显高于文化适应型个体。这些初步数据表明,文化适应程度更高的西班牙裔年轻人可能比其他人表现出与皮肤癌相关的更具风险的态度和行为。
