这篇文章分析了近年来在拉丁裔移民、文化适应和健康研究中出现的新主题。在过去的十年里，评估概念化和理解文化适应相关过程如何影响健康的新方法的研究数量有所增加。这些新的框架借鉴了综合方法，测试了新的领域，以承认背景和政策的基本作用。我们根据我们确定为有希望的方向的主题--个人内部、人际、社会环境、社区、政治和全球背景，生活过程中的交叉主题和发展方法，以及分段同化--对新兴证据进行分类，并讨论每个主题带来的挑战和机遇。这项在语境中考虑文化适应的工作指出了新一波研究的出现，这些研究在推动拉美裔移民、文化适应和健康的研究方面充满希望。我们提出建议，以进一步推进这一新浪潮的思想和方法的严谨性。
This article provides an analysis of novel topics emerging in recent years in research on Latino immigrants, acculturation, and health. In the past ten years, the number of studies assessing new ways to conceptualize and understand how acculturation-related processes may influence health has grown. These new frameworks draw from integrative approaches testing new ground to acknowledge the fundamental role of context and policy. We classify the emerging body of evidence according to themes that we identify as promising directions—intrapersonal, interpersonal, social environmental, community, political, and global contexts, cross-cutting themes in life course and developmental approaches, and segmented assimilation—and discuss the challenges and opportunities each theme presents. This body of work, which considers acculturation in context, points to the emergence of a new wave of research that holds great promise in driving forward the study of Latino immigrants, acculturation, and health. We provide suggestions to further advance the ideologic and methodologic rigor of this new wave.
