Abstract
- The article discusses a study which analyzed and compared the preferences of Hispanic Americans (HUSAs) and Hispanic Latin Americans (HLAs) for decision control of patients with advanced cancer, published in 2013. The researchers hypothesized that HLS family caregivers would be more likely to prefer passive decision-making approaches than HUSA family caregivers would. Acculturation was not seen as having an influence on the decisional role preferences among HUSA caregivers.
