      Attitudes.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of 
      Hispanic acculturation in the U.S. with family planning behaviors and attitudes. 
      METHODS: Surveys of 225 Hispanic women were collected that used acculturation 
      measures of number of years lived in the U.S. and the Short Acculturation Scale 
      for Hispanics (SASH), along with questions about family planning behaviors, 
      including birth control use, sterilization, and abortion. RESULTS: SASH-Language 
      statistically differed (p = 0.03) where those with 'yes birth control' had 
      significantly lower English acculturation (M = 6.10, SD = 1.77) than those with 
      'no birth control' (M = 7.00, SD = 3.16). Greater U.S. acculturation on 
      SASH-Ethnic Social Relations was associated positively with the attitude that 
      finances are important when considering to have children (r = 0.18, p < 0.05). 
      Number of years lived in the U.S. was associated positively with the attitude 
      that it is a woman's personal choice to have an elective termination of pregnancy 
      (r = 0.19, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare providers should consider patient 
      acculturation level when discussing family planning topics. It is possible that a 
      more detailed explanation concerning the reasons for family planning is necessary 
      when discussing family planning topics with Hispanic patients who exhibit higher 
      levels of English language acculturation.
