Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Impact of Acculturation, Parental Supervision, and Socioeconomic Status on Alcohol Consumption Amongst Latino and Non-Hispanic White Adolescents The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of acculturation, parental supervision, and socioeconomic status on alcohol consumption amongst Latino and non-Hispanic white adolescents ages 13-17. This study revealed that parental supervision was a significant factor in adolescent alcohol consumption amongst Latino and non-Hispanic white adolescents. Specifically, when an adult is around after school hours, adolescents are more likely to report they have never had a few sips of alcohol. Although this study found no significant correlations between acculturation and socioeconomic status amongst Latino and non-Hispanic white adolescents, some of the existing literature suggested otherwise. Future studies should also involve parents and family members to strengthen family connections. Family based prevention programs for Latino adolescents should account for acculturation to assist with creating positive relationships among Latino adolescents and their parents. Future studies can add to our understanding of the challenges facing Latino adolescents, as they acculturate to the United States.

This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive review of the complex, growing mental health challenges faced by culturally diverse populations of children and adolescents.Suicide Among Diverse Youth: A Case-Based Guidebook is the first book of its kind, and is designed specifically to bridge the knowledge and skills gap encountered by most clinicians dealing with youth from diverse cultural backgrounds, particularly those different than that of the clinician. The title begins with two introductory chapters, which cover cultural aspects of suicidality among youth, culturally informed treatment of suicidality with diverse youth, and examples of preventative approaches. These are followed by population specific chapters which cover a broad spectrum of diverse populations, including underserved ethnic and racial populations in the United States, LGBTQ youth, as well as various immigrant populations from Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries. These case-based chapters are structured in a cohesive, easy-to-read format that promotes ease of reference, beginning with a clinical case report, review of literature, unique characteristics and risk factors associated with suicidality, and evidence-based practice provided by the authors from their considerable experience. The authors are often from the same ethnic, racial, or cultural group that they discuss in their writings; providing experiential knowledge where scientific knowledge is lacking. Suicide Among Diverse Youth: A Case-Based Guidebook is a unique resource that offers the clinical material needed to treat diverse adolescent patients with sensitive, intersectional, and culturally-informed care, and will provide an indispensable resource for medical professionals working with, and caring for these patients.
Download or read book Socioeconomic Status Acculturation Family Characteristics and Health Behaviors written by Alisha D. Howarter and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that socioeconomic status (SES) can impact adolescent use of alcohol and smoking. These relationships may be mediated by stress, psychosocial reserves, and negative emotions. I explored these relationships using the Reserve Capacity Model (RCM) as a theoretical foundation. The RCM suggests that individuals of low social status experience stress and must tap into tangible, intrapersonal, and interpersonal resources, often leaving these reserves depleted. Low reserves, in turn, predict the experience of negative emotions which can result in poor health outcomes. The RCM was later revised to integrate cultural constructs that can serve as stressors and resources (e.g., familism, which prioritizes the role of the family as a supportive network). The purpose of this study was to test the RCM using culturally relevant variables as mediators of relationships between SES, alcohol use, and smoking in a sample of Hispanic American adolescents. I predicted that low SES would positively predict stress (e.g., perceived discrimination and acculturative stress). Stress, then, would be negatively related to reserve capacity (i.e., familism, family cohesion, and fatalism), which, in turn, would negatively predict symptoms of depression. Then, depressive symptoms would be positively related to alcohol use and smoking. A sample of 1,386 Hispanic American adolescents completed self-report measures of these constructs across three school years. Counter to my hypotheses, baseline SES was unrelated to smoking and alcohol use at year three (controlling for baseline levels). Mediation hypotheses were partially supported. Results showed baseline SES predicted increased levels of perceived discrimination at year two, which, in turn, was significantly related to decreased familism and family cohesion also at year two. Family cohesion was significantly related to symptoms of depression at year two, which, in turn, predicted increased use of alcohol and smoking behaviors at year three. Findings suggest that low SES is associated with perceived discrimination, which negatively affects family functioning. In turn, challenges in the family seem to affect distress symptoms, which, in turn, predict alcohol use and smoking. Results imply that interventions designed to address adolescent perceptions of discrimination, or family cohesion, may positively impact rates of smoking and alcohol use among adolescents.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the equivocal results on the role that acculturation plays in the depressive symptoms among children and adolescents, and the limited research on Mexican American youth in general, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of parent's acculturation and their children's depressive symptoms among Mexican-American of low socio-economic status. This study followed Rodriguez's (2007) methodological recommendations to use a strong methodological design, and use an orthogonal acculturation measurement. The study selected a stratified random sample of 198 students, selecting equal numbers of males and females, and equal subjects from grades 3rd through 5th. Subjects were selected from three elementary schools located in a low socio-economic school district in the Southwestern United States. Parents of the selected students were asked to complete a demographic form, the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II (Cuellar, Arnold, and Maldonado, 1995), and the Internalizing subscales of the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6-18 (CBCL/6-18; Achenbach and Rescorla, 2001). The study found no significant relationship between parent's acculturation and children's depressive symptoms. The study was limited by high attrition among the sample, a frequent characteristic of low socio-economic populations.

Download or read book Alcohol Use Among Latino Adolescents Correlated of Socioeconomic Status Neighborhood Safety and Academic Performance written by Cindy Salinas and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol consumption is a high occurrence among adolescents, specifically Latinos. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between socioeconomic status, neighborhood safety, supportive adult, and alcohol use. The influences of low socioeconomic status, unsafe neighborhood, and absence of a supportive adult at home on alcohol use were investigated. The study also examined the relationship between low socioeconomic status and unsafe neighborhood, and unsafe neighborhood and absence of a supportive adult. The 2015 California Health Interview Adolescent Survey was utilized to obtain secondary data. The study contained 1,594 adolescents and a final analytical sample of 394 Latino adolescents were examined for the current study. The researchers analyzed the data using descriptive statistics, correlation, and simple logistic regression. The findings revealed statistical significant relationships between supportive adult and alcohol use by suggesting a supportive adult at home decreases alcohol use amongst Latino youth. The findings also revealed a significant relationship between unsafe neighborhood and supportive adult by suggesting an unsafe neighborhood increases the chances of having an absent supportive adult. This study did not find statistical significant relationships between low socioeconomic status and alcohol use, or between unsafe neighborhood and alcohol use. In addition, low socioeconomic neighborhood was not related to unsafe neighborhood. Our findings emphasize a need for effective interventions and preventative measures for alcohol use among Latino adolescents. Social workers should be aware of factors that increase alcohol use such as a low socioeconomic status and unsafe neighborhood, and barriers in having a supportive adult at home.

Book excerpt: Immigration is a radical change in context, which can take place for the sake of children to improve their life quality. In the U.S., approximately one in four individuals are members of immigrant families, and Latinos are one of the largest immigrant groups (Trevelyan et al., 2016). Latino individuals in the U.S. display relatively high rates of high-risk drinking and can suffer health or social consequences of alcohol use or alcohol use disorders as a result (Chartier & Caetano, 2010; Miech et al., 2018; Spillane et al., 2020). Families and peers are two primary contexts influencing Latino adolescents' substance use in general (Parsai et al, 2009; Pereyra & Bean, 2017), but Latino adolescents in immigrant families may specifically experience immigration-related stressors that can influence their families' dynamics, and, in turn, their alcohol use either directly (Salas-Wright & Schwartz, 2019) or indirectly through peers given that the family and peer contexts are interconnected (Paat, 2013). The three dissertation studies presented here explored the effects of general and immigration-related family conflict on Latino youth’s alcohol use while considering the potential mediating role of friends' alcohol use. In Study 1, I used data from 872 Latino adolescents who participated in the national study of Monitoring the Future, who were followed from the age of 18 to 30. I examined general parent-child conflict in relation to Latino adolescents’ and young adults’ alcohol use and alcohol use trajectories and the potential mediating role of friends' alcohol use. The results showed that general parent-child conflict was indirectly— through friends' alcohol use—associated with annual alcohol use in 12th grade but not with 12th grade binge drinking. The links to the trajectories were limited and complex, and they are explained in Study 1. For Study 2, I moved beyond general parent-child conflict through a three-phase scale-development study that included 12 Latino young adults for focus groups and item generation, 353 Latino young adults for survey data and psychometric evaluation, and 10 Latino adolescents for semi-structured interviews and feedback on items. Study 2 resulted in two subscales for the measure assessing immigration-related parent-child conflict (i.e., 4-item subscale of parent-child conflict about immigration-related expectations and sacrifices and the 5-item subscale of parent-child conflict about acculturation-related topics) as well as a 5-item scale on immigration-related interparental conflict. Finally, in Study 3, I brought Study 1 and Study 2 together and examined the role of general versus immigration-related interparental conflict and parent-child conflict in relation to Latino adolescents’ alcohol use and considered the potential mediating role of close friends' alcohol use. Study 3 was part of an on-going community study, and data were collected from 171 Latino adolescents in 10th grade who were members of immigrant families. In Study 3, the results provided some, albeit limited, evidence that general interparental conflict and general parent-child conflict took their toll on alcohol use indirectly and through friends' alcohol use, whereas immigration-related interparental conflict yielded a direct (rather than indirect) link with alcohol use. There were no significant direct or indirect associations between immigration-related parent-child conflict and alcohol use. The results from Study 3 must be interpreted with caution, and more research is needed to examine the associations between immigration-related family conflict and Latino adolescents' alcohol use. The findings from these three studies provide some evidence, albeit limited and primarily cross-sectional, that Latino youth may face unique stressors such as immigration-related interparental conflict (e.g., whether immigration to the USA has been good for their family) and immigration-related parent-child conflict (e.g., their parents thinking adolescents should appreciate their immigration sacrifices more), which have the potential to be distinctly linked with alcohol use among Latino adolescents. Additionally, the results point to the importance of implementing multisystem approaches that target both family and peer contexts in prevention and intervention programs that aim to curtail alcohol use among Latino youth, particularly those in immigrant families
Download or read book The Impact of Parental Involvement Socioeconomic Status Academic Support and Gender on Adolescent Alcohol Use written by Connie Meza and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of parental involvement, socioeconomic status, academic support, and gender on adolescent alcohol use. Data was obtained from 2,799 adolescents ages 12-17 who participated in the 2011 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). The independent variables utilized in this study were parental involvement, socioeconomic status, academic support, and gender. The dependent variable was adolescent alcohol use. The results of the study indicate that there is a correlation between parental involvement, socioeconomic status, academic support, and gender in predicting alcohol consumption amongst adolescents. The results revealed that being male, not having an adult around during after school hours, and the lack of academic support were significant predictors of adolescent alcohol use. Future studies should investigate different factors that may also have an influence on adolescent alcohol use. Furthermore, the prevalence of adolescent alcohol use is increasing rapidly in our society. Social workers and other professionals in the helping field should collaboratively work to help implement effective education, awareness, prevention, and intervention programs needed to address this social issue.
