LOINC long common name : Deprecated PhenX measure - acculturation;
LOINC description : This measure is used to provide a language indicator (one of several ways of indexing
acculturation) of the extent to which an individual (or the children/relatives of
an immigrant) who has moved from a non-English-speaking culture/country to an English-speaking
one has adopted the culture of the receiving country. Language use and proficiency
are indicators of acculturation. These questions are often used in large studies of
immigrant populations to assess how well the individuals have adapted to a new culture.;
