Although drinking by black and Hispanic women in the United States differs from that of white women in terms of prevalence rates and incidence of alcohol-related problems, factors such as age and employment status have similar effects on drinking in each group. However, influences on drinking among minority women are complex and must be thought of as an interaction of cultural, personal, and historical factors. This interplay is beginning to emerge from ethnic studies.
尽管美国黑人女性和西班牙裔女性的饮酒情况在患病率及与酒精相关问题的发生率方面与白人女性有所不同,但年龄和就业状况等因素对每组人群的饮酒行为有着相似的影响。然而,对少数族裔女性饮酒行为的影响是复杂的,必须被视为文化、个人和历史因素相互作用的结果。这种相互作用正开始在种族研究中显现出来。
