This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the role culture, family, and environment have in the prevention of Latino substance abuse Information about the substance abuse behaviors among Latino populations has been limited. Substance Abusing Latinos: Current Research on Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment fills this void by presenting the latest research on the epidemic of substance abuse now afflicting the Latino community. Ethnic differences are reviewed, including specific studies covering gang members, low-income urban women, risky behaviors, and language preference indicators of acculturation. This book does more than simply present the research—it discusses effective treatment strategies to help practitioners provide quality, culturally competent care to lacking Latino populations. Latinos, the largest minority in the United States, have an increasing alcohol and illicit drug use problem. Culture, acculturation, and language hold powerful sway in the research of Latino/a substance abuse. Substance Abusing Latinos: Current Research on Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment delves deeply into troubling issues such as gang membership, sexual abuse, the lack of healthy family role models, the effects of different levels of acculturation, the lack of health insurance, and rampant involvement with the criminal system. The research is used as a foundation to focus on the latest advances of substance abuse prevention and culturally competent intervention programs. Each chapter is extensively referenced to reinforce research. Substance Abusing Latinos: Current Research on Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment explores: substance abuse among gang members in a small city childhood sexual abuse and drug use among low-income Puerto Rican women a comparison of risky behaviors of African-American and Cuban-American adolescent juvenile offenders acculturation status and substance use prevention with Mexican and Mexican-American youth culturally competent intervention with families of Latino youth at risk for drug abuse psychiatric, family, and ethnicity-related factors that can impact treatment among Hispanic substance abusing adolescents HIV/AIDS prevention practice with substance abusers Substance Abusing Latinos: Current Research on Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment is essential reading for educators, students, practitioners working with Latino/a populations, and substance abuse researchers.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book takes an integrative approach to the understanding of drug use and its relationship to social-cultural factors. It is lucidly and powerfully argued and constitutes a significant achievement. The authors sensibly argue that in order to fully understand and explain drug use and abuse it is necessary to take into account different levels of analysis, reflecting distinct domains of human functioning; the biological, psychosocial, and cultural-historical....Overall, this book represents an exceptional achievement and should be of interest to drug clinicians and researcher as well as social scientists and students." --Professor Tony Ward, University of Melbourne Substance use and abuse are two of the most frequent psychological problems clinicians encounter. Mainstream approaches focus on the biological and psychological factors supporting drug abuse. But to fully comprehend the issue, clinicians need to consider the social, historical, and cultural factors responsible for drug-related problems. Substance Use and Abuse: Cultural and Historical Perspectives provides an inclusive explanation of the human desire to take drugs. Using a multidisciplinary framework, authors Russil Durrant and Jo Thakker explore the cultural and historical variables that contribute to drug use. Integrating biological, psychosocial, and cultural-historical perspectives, this innovative and accessible volume addresses the fundamental question of why drug use is such a ubiquitous feature of human society. provides an inclusive explanation of the human desire to take drugs.

Download or read book Acculturation, Family Context, and Mexican Origin Youth Substance Use Risk Across Time written by Rick A. Cruz and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino youth, and Mexican-origin youth in particular risk, may be at higher risk for early substance use initiation. Given that early initiation is related to greater likelihood of later substance use problems, understanding risk and protective pathways for this early use is of great importance. Acculturation (i.e., American cultural identity) has been identified as a cultural risk factor for adolescent substance use for Mexican-origin youth. On the other hand, increased orientation to heritage Mexican culture appears to play a protective role in the development of substance use. Theory has suggested that acculturation and enculturation are processes that dynamically change over time, yet there is a dearth of longitudinal research on cultural orientation development. Moreover, there is limited research examining whether youth substance use changes as a function of changes in cultural orientation. One mechanism that appears to partially explain the link between youth cultural orientation and substance use is disrupted family dynamics (e.g., Samaniego & Gonzales, 1999; Szapocznik & Kurtines, 1993). However, there is a dearth of longitudinal studies examining the pathway that links cultural change with youth substance use via family dysfunction. The specific aims of this dissertation were to examine and characterize longitudinal changes in cultural orientation over time, examine links between cultural orientation level and change with substance use outcomes and to test whether family processes may mediate the links between cultural orientation change and negative outcomes. The study used data from 674 Mexican-origin youth and their parents across five (approximately) yearly observations between ages 10 - 15. This study used measures of youth report of cultural orientation, substance use, and family dynamics up to age 15. I used latent growth modeling (LGM) in a Structural Equation Modeling framework, applied categorical and count data modeling to appropriately specify substance use outcomes, and examined mediation in a (LGM) context. Results suggested that cultural orientation change is a dynamic process that varies across individuals, and patterns of change depend on the particular cultural domain being examined. Although the results suggested that there were some links between level and change in cultural orientation with substance use outcomes, these findings were less robust in the current study potentially due to missing data characteristics. Still, results demonstrated that family relationship characteristics represent a robust mechanism that indirectly link initial levels and change in cultural orientation with substance use outcomes. I interpret my findings within a cultural risk and resilience framework, and integrate with prior research to inform the acculturation literature.

This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a culturally informed framework for understanding and treating substance abuse problems. From expert contributors, chapters cover specific ethnocultural groups in the United States, including Americans of African, Native American, Latino, European, Middle Eastern, and Asian descent. Authors examine how ethnocultural factors may affect a person's attitudes toward alcohol and other drugs, patterns of substance use, reasons for seeking treatment, and responsiveness to various interventions. Themes addressed include the impact of migration and acculturation issues, spiritual values and traditions, family structures, gender roles, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Featuring a wealth of illustrative clinical material, the book makes concrete recommendations for more competent, effective assessment and intervention. It also guides clinicians toward greater awareness of the ways their own ethnocultural backgrounds may affect their interactions with clients.
