<p class="Pa7"><strong>Objective: </strong>Acculturation appears to be an important aspect of the association between ethnicity and disease, but it has not been explored in depth among childhood cancer survivors (CCS). The purpose of our study was to identify distinct acculturative profiles among Hispanic CCS and to assess dif­ferences in quality of life and depressive symptoms.</p><p class="Pa7"><strong>Design: </strong>Latent class analysis was used to identify distinct acculturative profiles using 9 indicator items reflecting Hispanic and An­glo cultural orientation. Multinomial logistic regression was performed to explore differ­ences in depressive symptoms and quality of life between acculturation classes.</p><p class="Pa7"><strong>Setting and Participants: </strong>Participants were diagnosed in Los Angeles County, Califor­nia, USA between 2000-2007 and were recruited for the study in 2009.</p><p class="Pa7"><strong>Main Outcome Measures: </strong>Center for Epi­demiologic Studies depression scale and the PedsQL 4.0 quality of life scale.</p><p class="Pa7"><strong>Results: </strong>Three distinct acculturation classes emerged. All classes displayed a high prob­ability of endorsing all Anglo orientation items. One class additionally demonstrated a high probability of endorsing all Hispanic orientation items and was labeled bicultural (40%); another demonstrated low probabil­ity of endorsing the Hispanic items so was labeled assimilated (32%); and the last dem­onstrated a high probability of endorsing only the Hispanic items related to language use and was labeled linguistically Hispanic/ culturally Anglo (LH) (28%).</p><p class="Pa8"><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The assimilated group had significantly more depressive symptoms and lower quality of life than the other two groups. This may indicate that loss of the Hispanic culture may be associated with poorer psychosocial health among CCS.</p><p class="Pa8"><em>Ethn Dis. </em>2018;28(1):55-60; doi:10.18865/ ed.28.1.55.</p>

Abstract Background The course and corresponding characteristics of quality of life (QOL) domains in trauma population are unclear. Our aim was to identify longitudinal QOL trajectories and determine and predict the sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological characteristics of trajectory membership in physical trauma patients using a biopsychosocial approach. Methods Patients completed a questionnaire set after inclusion, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months follow-up. Trajectories were identified using repeated-measures latent class analysis. The trajectory characteristics were ranked using Cohen’s d effect size or phi coefficient. Results Altogether, 267 patients were included. The mean age was 54.1 (SD = 16.1), 62% were male, and the median injury severity score was 5.0 [2.0—9.0]. Four latent trajectories were found for psychological health and environment, five for physical health and social relationships, and seven trajectories were found for overall QOL and general health. The trajectories seemed to remain stable over time. For each QOL domain, the identified trajectories differed significantly in terms of anxiety, depressive symptoms, acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, Neuroticism, trait anxiety, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness. Discussion Psychological factors characterized the trajectories during 12 months after trauma. Health care providers can use these findings to identify patients at risk for impaired QOL and offer patient-centered care to improve QOL.
