Acculturation and acculturative stress are examined as predictors of alcohol use among Asian immigrants, using the 2004 National Latino and Asian Americans Survey (NLAAS). Separate regression analyses were conducted for Chinese (n = 600), Filipino (n = 508), and Vietnamese (n = 520) immigrants. Alcohol use varied for the three groups. English proficiency was associated with drinking for all groups. Family conflict was associated with drinking for Chinese immigrants. General acculturative stress and discrimination were associated with drinking for Vietnamese immigrants. Results underscore acculturation and acculturative stress as being contributors to alcohol consumption, and the importance of considering the heterogeneity of Asian immigrants in research on their alcohol use. The study's limitations are noted.
本研究利用2004年全国拉丁裔和亚裔美国人调查（NLAAS），对文化适应和文化适应压力作为亚洲移民酒精使用的预测因素进行了检验。对中国移民（n = 600）、菲律宾移民（n = 508）和越南移民（n = 520）分别进行了回归分析。三组的酒精使用情况各不相同。英语 proficiency与所有组的饮酒行为相关。家庭冲突与中国移民的饮酒行为相关。一般文化适应压力和歧视与越南移民的饮酒行为相关。研究结果强调了文化适应和文化适应压力是酒精消费的促成因素，以及在研究亚洲移民酒精使用时考虑其异质性的重要性。同时指出了该研究的局限性。 （注：原文中“English proficiency”直译为“英语熟练程度”，这里意译为“英语水平”更符合语境，但按要求未做解释性添加）
