摘要：
The fourth largest population of Hmong in the United States resides in western North Carolina. Before their exposure to western medicine, the Hmong relied solely on shamans (ua neeb saib), or spiritual healers, and herbal medicine for health needs. This study compares the health locus of control among Hmong and Caucasian students using the Multi-Dimensional Health Locus of Control Scale. College students participated anonymously by email and social media utilizing a web-based survey. Based on rapid acculturation of Hmong families and social pressure to adopt a "college lifestyle," we predict differences between subscales of Hmong and Caucasian College students.
