Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanic Youth
The SASH-Y is a summated rating scale designed to measure level of acculturation of Hispanic children in grades 3 through 8.

The scale should only be used and interpreted by psychologists, counselors, or social workers trained in psychometric assessment and interpretation of psychological data with ethnic and language minorities.

Scoring Instructions: The scale is scored using a 5-point likert scale. Convert letter responses to numbers as follows: A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5. Sum the scores for each item. Scores range from 12 to 60. Look up the raw score in the Norms Table to get the T-score (M=50, SD=10) and percentile.
