Previous studies reported mixed findings on the relationship between acculturation and health status among Asian Americans due to different types of acculturation measures used or different Asian subgroups involved in various studies. We aim to fill the gap by applying multiple measures of acculturation in a diverse sample of Asian subgroups. Across all the measures, more acculturated individuals were significantly more likely to report good health than those who were less acculturated after adjusting for covariates.

Purpose: This systematic review aims to: a describe population characteristics and methodology used in health studies assessing acculturation, as measured by the SL-ASIA; b evaluate the use of the SL-ASIA in the included studies; c summarize associations between acculturation, as measured by the SL-ASIA, and health outcomes; and d provide recommendations for future research. Studies using the SL-ASIA in the context of mental or physical health outcomes in Asian adult populations were included, for a total of 14 studies. Results: Most studies were conducted with Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese immigrants, with the majority being foreign-born. All studies used cross-sectional designs with convenience sampling. More than half used a modified version of the scale, and less than half used a translated version.
