By 2060, an estimated 46 million Americans will be of Asian descent, with 36% of the total immigrant population consisting of Asian individuals (Budiman & Ruiz, 2021). Asian American subgroups vary regarding their native cultures but tend to favor family relationships and collectivist attitudes that preserve their cultural identity (Ai et al., 2022). Despite the tendency to favor maintaining their native culture, most Asian Americans will experience at least some degree of acculturation in the U.S. culture.Historically, Asian Americans have experienced increased rates of chronic disease and declines in diet quality with greater acculturation, often measured via length of residency in the U.S. and English language proficiency (Alcantara et al., 2016; Satia, 2010). Given the evidence of acculturation on health outcomes, an investigation into acculturation's influence on Asian American's health management-related behaviors is warranted. Americans avidly use dietary supplements and prescription medicines (Mishra et al., 2023; National Center for Health Statistics, [NCHS] n.d.-f). However, the associations between acculturation and these behaviors among Asian Americans have scarcely been explored.This quantitative, correlational study utilizing secondary data from the 2015-2016 and 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and proxy measures of acculturation demonstrated positive yet weak associations between acculturation and dietary supplement and prescription medicine use among a nationally representative sample of Asian Americans ages 20-65 (p > .05). Additionally, positive yet weak associations were demonstrated between LOR in the U.S. and dietary supplement and prescription medicine use (p > .05).Assessing these associations provided insight into how Asian Americans' health management practices change in response to acculturation, which may allow for more individualized and tailored healthcare services that ensure the safe and appropriate use of dietary supplements and prescription medicines. However, despite being positive based on the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient outputs, the associations were weak. Moreover, other variables that could confound these associations were not accounted for. Future studies should utilize stratification, employ Asian-specific instruments that account for various acculturation-related changes, and control for potentially confounding variables to better elucidate the influence of acculturation on the dietary supplement and prescription medicine use of Asian Americans.
