This study identified changes in Korean and heritage language proficiencies across five waves (2011-2015) and examined the association between linguistic acculturation trajectories and adjustment (2016) among Korean adolescents with immigrant family backgrounds (N = 1441; 51.21% female; M = 9.97). All adolescents were from multiethnic families with 91.65% comprising a non-Korean Asian mother (e.g., Japan, Philippines, China, Thailand) and Korean father. Parallel process latent class growth modeling and multivariate regression analysis were conducted to estimate the trajectories of linguistic acculturation and their effects on adolescents' future adjustment. Linguistic acculturation trajectories were classified into three latent groups. Bilingual adolescents demonstrated better adjustment over adolescents in other trajectories. Findings highlight the importance of considering patterns of change in linguistic acculturation for understanding Korean multicultural adolescents' adjustment.

Background: Language and cultural factors are known to influence cognitive performance on neuropsychological measures used to assess cognitive impairment and dementia. A new measure, the Characterising Language Experience and Acculturation Questionnaire (CLEAr-Q) was developed to address the gap in access to a brief measure of these factors in the Australian context. The aim is to validate and further develop the CLEAr-Q as a tool to capture linguistic and acculturation variables to improve measurement of cognition in older adults from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds.

Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.
Background: South Asian (SA) Americans are underrepresented in US Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) research. Despite sharing common languages, SA Americans differ from those in South Asia in education, health-related behaviors, and environmental exposures. NYC/NJ-area SA communities overwhelmingly revealed English-based neuropsychological testing preference given that many speak non-Hindi languages.

Int Nurs Rev
March 2025
The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, New Cross Hospital, Staffordshire University, Wolverhampton, UK.
Aim: The paper explores the barriers and enablers for international nurses who are assimilating to new healthcare systems in the United Kingdom and implications for the global healthcare context.
Background: The worldwide shortage of nurses has led to high levels of global mobility. It is therefore essential to acknowledge the international nature of healthcare and the diversity of experience within the nursing workforce.
Background: In the United States, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) health care providers are important to the nursing workforce but often face challenges when taking the NCLEX-RN examination. This study evaluated the effects of removing slang and words with multiple meanings from high-stakes examination questions.
Method: This study used a quantitative, experimental posttest-only control group design and included a convenience sample of 169 nursing students from a college in southern Florida.
An Intersectional Approach to Cervical Cancer Screening Disparities by Race/Ethnicity and Immigrant Status.

Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA.
Disparities in cervical cancer (CC) screening exist within racial/ethnic minority and immigrant groups. However, few studies have explored the joint influence of race/ethnicity and immigrant status on screening, and the disparities that have been identified by existing studies remain incompletely explained. This study aims to identify the joint influence of race/ethnicity and immigrant status on CC screening and elucidate the barriers contributing to identified disparities.
