Abstract

Objectives: The cultural stress theory posits that immigrants experience a constellation of cultural stressors such as discrimination that could exacerbate alcohol- and other substance-related problems. Drawing on cultural stress theory, this study investigated the age-varying association between past-year discrimination and substance use disorders (SUDs) among Latin American immigrants aged 18-60 and whether childhood family support moderated the above association.

Method: We used data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (NESARC-III) among adults aged 18-60 who identified as a Latin American immigrant (N = 3,049; 48% female).

Results: Time-varying effect models (TVEMs) revealed that experiencing past-year discrimination was associated with greater odds of having a SUD during young and middle adulthood for Latin American immigrants. Furthermore, for immigrants with lower childhood family support, discrimination was associated with SUD risk in young and middle adulthood.

Conclusion: The present study documents that past-year discrimination was linked to greater SUD risk during young and middle adulthood. Childhood family support may serve as a protective factor in the association between discrimination and risk for SUD among Latin American immigrants.

在美国的拉美移民中，歧视、童年家庭支持与药物使用失调之间存在年龄差异。

目的：文化压力理论认为，移民会经历一系列文化压力，如歧视，这可能会加剧酒精和其他药物相关问题。根据文化压力理论，本研究调查了年龄在 18-60 岁之间的拉美移民在过去一年中受到的歧视与药物使用失调（SUDs）之间随年龄变化的关联，以及童年家庭支持是否调节了上述关联：我们使用了全国酒精及相关疾病流行病学调查-III（NESARC-III）中的数据，研究对象为 18-60 岁的拉美移民（N=3,049；48% 为女性）：时变效应模型（TVEMs）显示，对于拉美移民来说，过去一年遭受的歧视与青年和中年时期患 SUD 的几率更大有关。此外，对于童年时期家庭支持较少的移民来说，歧视与青年和中年时期患 SUD 的风险有关：本研究表明，过去一年的歧视与青年和中年时期更大的药物依赖风险有关。童年时的家庭支持可能是拉美移民中歧视与 SUD 风险之间关系的保护因素。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
