  • Title: Analysis of acculturation, sex, and heavy alcohol use in Latino college students.
    Author: Safer AM, Piane G.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 2007 Oct; 101(2):565-73. PubMed ID: 18175500.
    Abstract:
    24% of 917 students at California State University Long Beach who completed an alcohol use survey in 2002 (73% response) identified themselves as Latino. Because measures of acculturation reported in most adult studies positively correlated with alcohol use and sex, it was hypothesized that these associations might also apply to Latino college students. With increasing levels of acculturation, women but not men in this Latino college sample reported significantly greater occurrence of heavy drinking, positive attitudes about drinking, and perception that most of their friends use alcoholic beverages.
