Abstract
Health studies on migrant population globally highlights psychological acculturation, which refers to the stress of cultural change during migration. Such stress can affect vulnerable groups’ health. However, measuring this in highly mobile populations is challenging due to scattered scientific evidence. We aimed to identify instruments for assessing psychological acculturation in health studies with Latin participants in the United States, using PRISMA methodology. We found 56 instruments used in diverse health studies between 1978 and 2021, 33 were acculturation scales, five ethnic identity measures and 18 evaluations of migratory status. These instruments explored the relationship between cultural change and health in the Latino Population in the United States. This systematic review offers a comprehensive overview of available tools for future social intervention and research projects in the context of diverse migrations in Latin America.
