Abstract

Objective: This study examined acculturation with positive alcohol expectancies (PAE) and alcohol use intentions among college-bound Latinas using a bidimensional (ie U.S. acculturation/enculturation) and bidomain (ie behaviors/values) acculturation framework. Participants: A total of 298 Latina young adults between 18 and 20 years old were included in this analysis. Methods: Data were collected the summer before participants began college for the first time. We used an online survey to assess acculturation, PAE, and alcohol use expectancies. Results: Path analyses showed that U.S. acculturation values were related to more PAE and alcohol use intentions. U.S. acculturation behaviors were related to more alcohol use intentions, and the pathway was moderated by PAE. There was also an interaction between U.S. acculturation and enculturation behaviors predicting alcohol use intentions. Conclusion: This study sheds light on how acculturating Latina young women think about alcohol use prior to beginning college, which is an opportune window for targeted prevention programs.

关于饮酒的思考：文化适应性与上大学的拉丁裔女性与酒精有关的认知。

研究目的本研究采用双维（即美国文化适应/文化教化）和双域（即行为/价值观）文化适应框架，考察了拉美裔女大学生的文化适应与积极酒精预期（PAE）和酒精使用意向。参与者：本分析共纳入了 298 名年龄在 18 至 20 岁之间的拉丁裔年轻人。研究方法数据是在参与者第一次上大学前的暑假收集的。我们使用在线调查来评估文化适应、PAE 和酒精使用预期。结果路径分析显示，美国文化适应价值观与更多的 PAE 和酒精使用意向有关。美国文化适应行为与更多的酒精使用意向相关，而这一路径受 PAE 的调节。美国文化程度和文化适应行为之间也存在着预测饮酒意向的交互作用。结论本研究揭示了拉丁裔年轻女性在上大学前如何考虑饮酒问题，而这正是开展有针对性的预防计划的好时机。
