CLS = Collaborative Life Skills Program. MACVS = Mexican–American Cultural Values Scale for Adolescents and Adults (Knight et al,, 2010). ARSMA-II = Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans (Cueller et al., 1995). Both acculturation scales are rated on a 1 to 5 scale with higher values indicating higher affiliation/orientation. The ARSMA-II acculturation orthogonal categories are derived from the Latino and Anglo orientation scales, but not every participant score will be represented by a category; thus, percentages of ARSMA-II acculturation categories do not total 100%. No group differences emerged on the ARMSA-II or MACV between Latino parents who did versus did not provide qualitative data.
