Notes: ‘Family contact’ = number of family members seen in person during an average week; ‘Family interaction’ = number of family members communicated by phone/internet during an average week. ‘Occupation’ is categorised into level of education needed: secondary (school leaving exams required), tertiary (university degree required) or graduate (post-university qualification required, e.g. Masters). Self-reported acculturation measures (heritage and UK culture identification) were only obtained from the British Bangladeshi groups, and age of migration only applies to the 1st generation group.
