Alcohol use and involvement in school violent victimization are two significant public health problems among Hispanic youth. The present study examined alcohol use by involvement in school violent victimization among seventh through twelfth grade Hispanic students in one metropolitan area. The Pride Student National Survey was administered to students in their school classrooms. Results indicated that Hispanic students who were involved in school violent victimization were at increased risk for recent alcohol use and frequent episodic heavy drinking compared to Hispanic students who were not involved. Logistic regression revealed Hispanic males, junior high school, and high school students were at increased odds for recent alcohol use based on involvement in school violent victimization. Regarding frequent episodic heavy drinking, Hispanic males, females, and high school students were at increased odds. These findings can aid professionals in developing effective prevention programs and efforts for this high-risk population. Recommendations for future studies are included.
饮酒以及遭遇校园暴力侵害是西班牙裔青少年中两个重大的公共卫生问题。本研究调查了一个大都市地区七年级至十二年级的西班牙裔学生中，遭遇校园暴力侵害与饮酒之间的关系。研究人员在学校教室里对学生进行了“自尊学生全国调查”。结果表明，与未遭遇校园暴力侵害的西班牙裔学生相比，遭遇校园暴力侵害的西班牙裔学生近期饮酒和频繁暴饮的风险更高。逻辑回归分析显示，基于遭遇校园暴力侵害这一因素，西班牙裔男性、初中学生和高中学生近期饮酒的几率更高。在频繁暴饮方面，西班牙裔男性、女性和高中学生的几率更高。这些研究结果有助于专业人员为这一高危人群制定有效的预防方案和措施。文中还包括了对未来研究的建议。
