This article provides descriptions of issues related to Latino/as, alcoholism, and substance abuse. A review of the available literature is provided, including preliminary data analyses by the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcoholism and Related Conditions conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and from the National Hispanic Science Network on Drug Abuse. There is some evidence that substance abuse among Hispanics may be increasing, especially among adolescents. Despite the dearth of knowledge regarding prevention and treatment interventions for Latino/a populations, the evolving evidence-based research provides additional information. Some clinical implications are provided and directions for research are suggested.
