This research is based on a larger study by Dr. Janice Crist from 2009-2012 of Mexican American elders and caregivers known as ENCASA, or Elder and Caregiver Assistance and Support At-home. Results illustrated little overall association between acculturation and awareness. However, fear and worry, a subscale of confidence in home care services, was significantly correlated with acculturation. Results suggest a significant need to improve cultural adaptations to home care services for this population. 2012-05 text Electronic Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10150/244799 en Copyright © is held by the author.
