Abstract
The article presents a study that examined the effects of bicultural efficacy or perceived confidence in dealing with bicultural acculturation stressors on type 2 diabetes management and health for first-generation, Cantonese-speaking, Chinese American immigrants. Topics discussed include testing the new Bicultural Efficacy in Health Management (BEFF-HM) scale as a more robust predictor of diabetes and health outcomes than proxy and general acculturation measures.
