Acculturation and Quality of Life in Urban, African American Caregivers of Children with Asthma.

CONCLUSIONS: Less acculturation tied to religious beliefs/practices and family values (as measured by the AAAS-R) may serve a protective role in reducing the burden low-income, urban African American caregivers experience in managing child asthma. This study is the first of its kind to study acculturation in African American caregivers of children with asthma. PMID: 27115558 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
