Disparities in access and utilization of substance abuse treatment (SAT) among Latinxs, accentuated by this population's rapid growth, create a public health issue. Although substance abuse literature has given more consideration to environmental factors and social support concerning treatment outcomes, current substance abuse models fail to address important contextual and cultural aspects for Latinxs in recovery, including acculturation. The proposed study aims to test out a multidimensional acculturation model on a sample of 131 Latinxs (Mage= 36.3; SD±10.4, 117 males, 49% immigrants) who recently completed SAT. Specifically, the proposed study employed a conditional process model using the PROCESS Macro for SPSS to examine the association between behavioral acculturation and substance use behavior in the past six months on nativity status at different levels of attitudinal acculturation. Results yielded that, after controlling for age and substance use, higher endorsement of U.S. mainstream cultural practices was associated with a higher frequency of days using alcohol among Latinx immigrants, specifically those reporting high and very high affiliation to the U.S. mainstream culture. Also, a negative association between U.S. mainland-born Latinx and frequency of days using illicit drugs in the past six months was observed, but only among those who endorse very high affiliation of U.S. mainstream culture.
拉美裔在获得和利用药物滥用治疗(SAT)方面的差异,因其人口的快速增长而更加突出,这已成为一个公共卫生问题。尽管有关药物滥用的文献更多地考虑了与治疗结果相关的环境因素和社会支持,但目前的药物滥用模型未能解决拉美裔康复中的重要背景和文化问题,包括文化适应问题。拟议的研究旨在对最近完成 SAT 的 131 名拉丁裔(年龄=36.3;SD±10.4,117 名男性,49% 为移民)样本进行多维文化适应模型测试。具体来说,本研究采用 SPSS 的 PROCESS 宏,建立了一个条件过程模型,以考察在不同的态度文化程度下,行为文化程度与过去六个月中药物使用行为之间的关联。结果表明,在控制了年龄和药物使用情况后,拉美裔移民对美国主流文化习俗的认可度越高,其饮酒天数的频率就越高,特别是那些对美国主流文化的归属感较高和非常高的拉美裔移民。此外,在美国本土出生的拉美人与过去六个月中使用非法药物的天数之间也存在负相关关系,但只有那些对美国主流文化有很高归属感的人才会出现这种情况。

Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are controversial chronic illnesses with a myriad of debilitating symptoms. This study aimed to explore physician referrals to psychiatrists or psychologists, perceived stigma, and estrangement for patients with ME and CFS. Findings indicate that patients who have been referred to psychiatrists are likely to perceive illness stigma and feel estranged from others due to their illness. These relationships are moderated by the country of residence, the United States and the United Kingdom. The implications of physician referrals for people with ME and CFS are discussed.
