This book details an exploratory research study that was conducted to examine the associations between acculturation, stress, alcohol consumption and other variables in a sample of 100 Puerto Rican alcohol users residing in the state of Massachusetts. The study relied on a cross sectional survey and a non probability sample. The data collected included acculturation scores, acculturation stress scores, data on the use of alcohol and other drugs, and demographic information. Comparisons were made among sample subjects based on gender, place of birth, acculturation levels, and educational levels. No statistically significant differences were found among subjects in the low, partial and high acculturation categories in terms of their levels of acculturative stress, or their frequency and amount of alcohol consumption. Significant associations were found, however, between stress and alcohol and illegal drug use. Findings suggest that the associations between alcohol/drug use and stress were significantly stronger among female and United States-born subjects. Study findings also suggest differences between Puerto Rican and other Latino alcohol users in the United States. hypotheses. For this reason, after exploring the associations between a number of variables, the book concludes by providing research ideas and by recommending 12 hypotheses to be tested in future research. A highly relevant and valuable contribution to the understanding of alcohol abuse among Puerto Ricans in the United States... Every effort must be made to ensure that the findings of studies like this are properly disseminated.

The one-of-a-kind exploration of effective alcohol prevention and treatment for Latinos-now and for the future! By the year 2020, the Latino population in the United States will increase to 60 million, making up 18 percent of all residents. Latinos and Alcohol Use/Abuse Revisited: Advances and Challenges for Prevention and Treatment Programs brings into sharp focus how present and future demographic shifts in Latino population are being felt in alcohol programs across the United States. Case studies and in-depth research clearly illustrate the practical steps various culturally competent programs recommend to effectively deal with alcohol use, prevention, and treatment for Latinos. Alcohol abuse, though rampant in Latino populations, has not received the attention that other types of drug abuse has received, even though the death rates, health problems, and financial costs from alcohol are staggering. Latinos and Alcohol Use/Abuse Revisited presents respected authorities tackling the tough questions about demographics, culturally competent research, and effective prevention and treatment programs. The book provides an up-to-date socio-demographic foundation, then builds upon current research and information to present a clear picture of the needs of various Latino populations for alcohol abuse programs now and in the future. Latinos and Alcohol Use/Abuse Revisited discusses: the Latino demographic profile—an overview patterns of need and treatment among Mexican-origin adults in central California alcohol abuse among Dominican-Americans the onset of alcohol and other drug use among gang members incarcerated Latinas, alcohol, and other drug abuse rural Latino grandparents raising grandchildren of substance abusing parents alcohol use among Puerto Rican active injecting drug users alcohol and other drug abuse prevention for high-risk youth a case study of a Puerto Rican community in Massachusetts detailed recommendations for prevention and treatment Latinos and Alcohol Use/Abuse Revisited is a detailed examination of prevention and treatment programs for Latinos, invaluable for substance abuse professionals, social workers, practitioners, and professionals in charge of alcohol prevention and treatment programs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between stress and alcohol abuse among Latinos/Latinx while acculturating to the U.S. dominant culture. Discussion and Implications: Literature findings have demonstrated a correlation between the acculturation process of Latinos to the United States and the relationship between stress and alcohol abuse. Mexican American immigrants are at greater risk of developing alcohol dependence due to stress, language barriers, legal status, and socio-economic disadvantage. Mexican born Latinos having a 91% chance of developing alcohol dependence (Caetano et al.2019). Acculturation to the U.S. culture varies by location of migration, age, gender, and the resources an individual has in their country of origin, can be a determining factor in their acculturation to the U.S. (Lee et al., 2013). Insufficiency of treatment for alcohol abuse within the Latino culture is partially due to gaps in communication, unfamiliarity resources, and of the helping systems of treatments in their community (Zemore et al., 2008).

Based on findings from a sample of nearly 1,100 Puerto Ricans living in the New York area, this book posits that adhering to traditional cultural values (for example, the family) has the socially desirable consequence of discouraging such deviant behaviors as substance abuse. The authors conclude that promoting specific values will not prevent certain individual and social ills; rather, promoting a `sense of tradition' itself is needed.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine how acculturation would influence alcohol consumption among Hispanic/Latinos. Data from the California Health Interview Survey for 2007 were used to analyze and predict the relationship between alcohol consumption and acculturation. For Hypothesis 1, acculturation measured as English language proficiency and English language preference would predict alcohol consumption among foreign-born Hispanics/Latinos who live in the United States. For Hypothesis 2, acculturation measured as number of years of residence in the United States was a predictor of alcohol consumption. Hypothesis 3 considered gender as a moderator for the relationship between acculturation and alcohol consumption: higher alcohol consumption would be found among Latinas with higher levels of acculturation than among Latino men. The results showed that English language, specifically "the preference of English media," was a statistically significant predictor of alcohol consumption; therefore, Hypothesis 1 was partially supported. Hypothesis 2, that years of residence in the United States as a predictor for alcohol consumption, was also supported. However, Hypothesis 3 was not supported: Latino men and women did not differ in terms of alcohol consumption as a function of acculturation.
