Blood is thicker than booze: Examining the role of familism and gender in alcohol use and related consequences among Hispanic college students
TLDR
Estimating cultural, ethnic, and gender differences in drinking and alcohol-related problems among Hispanic students and suggesting familism was protective against drinking suggested that culture plays an important role in people’s behaviors and identifying protective factors is critical to inform culturally sensitive prevention and intervention efforts.Abstract:
The present study evaluated cultural, ethnic, and gender differences in drinking and alcohol-related problems among Hispanic students. Familism protects against negative outcomes in Hispanic populations, thus we expected familism to buffer against alcohol problems. Participants (N = 623; 53% female) completed a battery of measures. Results suggested that familism was protective against drinking. Furthermore, alcohol use mediated the association between familism and alcohol-related problems. In sum, understanding that culture plays an important role in people’s behaviors and identifying protective factors is critical to inform culturally sensitive prevention and intervention efforts.read more
