Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hello all- studying some of these issues here in Yucatan, I can think of many reasons why it would not be culturally appropriate- or perhaps may not would be a better way to put it- it is not only the linguistic aspects, but the patterns of family caregiving and relations with fictive kin, non-family members and the " official " world that differ. If you are going to study protective factors- protective for what? And with an instrument thay has not been validated with this population, how do you know you are not just measuring acculturation?
