We draw upon social disorganization theory to examine the effects of community characteristics on the distribution of offsite alcohol outlets in San Diego County, California. Of particular interest is whether alcohol availability varies according to neighborhood racial/ethnic composition once measures of social disorganization (socioeconomic disadvantage, residential instability, and racial/ethnic heterogeneity) are controlled. Using data from the 1990 Census and 1993 alcohol license reports, we estimate a series of negative binomial regression models with corrections for spatial autocorrelation. The results show that percent Asian is associated with lower offsite alcohol outlet density. Once socioeconomic disadvantage is controlled, percent Latino is related to lower alcohol availability. Although similar suppressor patterns are observed, percent Black is generally unrelated to outlet density. Consistent with social disorganization theory, socioeconomic disadvantage and residential instability predict increased alcohol availability. Neighborhood racial/ethnic composition is either unrelated or inversely related to outlet density once social disorganization and other neighborhood characteristics are taken into account.
我们运用社会失序理论来研究社区特征对加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥县非现场酒精销售点分布的影响。特别值得关注的是，在控制了社会失序指标（社会经济劣势、居住不稳定和种族/民族异质性）之后，酒精销售点的分布是否会因邻里的种族/民族构成而有所不同。利用1990年人口普查数据和1993年酒精销售许可证报告，我们估计了一系列负二项回归模型，并对空间自相关进行了校正。结果表明，亚裔人口百分比与较低的非现场酒精销售点密度相关。在控制了社会经济劣势之后，拉丁裔人口百分比与较低的酒精销售点分布相关。尽管观察到类似的抑制模式，但黑人人口百分比通常与销售点密度无关。与社会失序理论一致，社会经济劣势和居住不稳定预示着酒精销售点的分布会增加。一旦考虑到社会失序和其他邻里特征，邻里的种族/民族构成与销售点密度要么无关，要么呈负相关。
