我们利用整群抽样设计来最大限度地提高代表性，研究了加利福尼亚州弗雷斯诺 1,001 名成年移民农场工人的文化适应和文化适应压力源对健康的影响。通过心理和身体健康自我评估以及CES-D抑郁量表，我们发现一个人在美国度过的时间、英语的使用水平以及一个人报告的文化适应压力的强度都与健康状况的下降有关。此外，文化适应压力对文化程度较高的人的自我评价健康（身体和心理）产生更有害的影响。
Utilizing a cluster sampling design to maximize representativeness, we look at the health effects of acculturation and acculturation stressors among 1,001 adult migrant farmworkers in Fresno, California. Using self-ratings of mental and physical health as well as the CES-D depression scale, we find that the amount of time one spends in the United States, the level of English-language usage, as well as the intensity of acculturation stresses that one reports, are all related to declines in health. In addition, acculturation stress has more deleterious effects on self-rated health (both physical and mental) among the more highly acculturated.
