AB  - 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.
