TI  - Latent Profiles of Acculturation and Their Implications for Health: A Study With 
      Asian Americans in Central Texas.

AB  - The present study identified profiles of acculturation in Asian Americans and 
      explored their implications for health. Pointing out the upward selection bias of 
      Asian Americans in English-only surveys, the study calls attention to the 
      importance of obtaining Asian American samples that reflect the group's cultural 
      and linguistic diversities. Data were drawn from 2,602 participants (age range = 
      18-98) in the 2015 Asian American Quality of Life (AAQoL) Survey, conducted in 
      central Texas. To reach out to diverse groups of Asian Americans, culturally and 
      linguistically sensitive approaches (e.g., survey questionnaire in Asian 
      languages, bilingual/bicultural recruiters and survey assistants, and 
      partnerships with key individuals and organizations within ethnic communities) 
      were employed, resulting in a sample almost half of which were surveyed in their 
      native languages. Latent profile analysis based on acculturation-related 
      variables (nativity, proportion of life lived in the United States, English 
      speaking ability, familiarity with host culture, familiarity with heritage 
      culture, identity toward ethnic origin, and sense of belonging to the community 
      of ethnic origin) identified a 4-cluster solution: fully bicultural, moderately 
      bicultural, alienated from host culture, and alienated from heritage culture. The 
      fully bicultural group was most advantaged in terms of self-ratings of physical, 
      oral, and mental health. The alienated from heritage culture group demonstrated a 
      particular risk for physical and mental health, whereas the alienated from host 
      culture group was at risk for oral health. Findings not only help understand the 
      heterogeneity of acculturation in Asian Americans but also provide implications 
      for health interventions.
