Alcohol misuse affects 15 million people in the United States. Compared to White men, Latino men have disproportionately higher rates of both alcohol misuse and negative alcohol-related consequences (e.g. drunk driving, liver disease, alcohol dependence, HIV/AIDS). This cross sectional study examined how cultural stressors [immigration stress and negative context of reception (NCR)] coupled with traditional Latino male gender norms ( and ) influences alcohol use severity (AUS) among adult Latino immigrant men. Data for the present study was collected between 2017 and 2018 from 279 Cuban, Central American, and South American adult Latino men who immigrated to the US approximately 10 years prior. Results from hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed higher levels of perceived NCR (β = 0.15, = .01), and (β = 0.16, = .02) were associated with greater AUS. Significant interaction effects were found between both cultural stressors and machismo [immigration stress x machismo (β = 0.22, < .001); NCR x machismo (β = 0.22, < .001)] whereby higher levels of machismo strengthened the association between cultural stress and AUS. Findings from the present study can inform culturally appropriate interventions aimed at mitigating alcohol use among Latino immigrant men.
在美国，有 1500 万人存在酒精滥用问题。与白人男性相比，拉丁裔男性的酒精滥用和负面酒精相关后果（例如酒后驾车、肝脏疾病、酒精依赖、艾滋病毒/艾滋病）的发生率不成比例地更高。本横断面研究调查了文化压力源[移民压力和负面接纳环境（NCR）]与传统拉丁裔男性性别规范（和）如何共同影响成年拉丁裔移民男性的酒精使用严重程度（AUS）。本研究的数据是在 2017 年至 2018 年期间从 279 名古巴、中美洲和南美洲成年拉丁裔移民男性中收集的，这些男性大约在 10 年前移民到美国。分层多元回归分析的结果显示，感知到的 NCR 水平较高（β=0.15，p=0.01），和（β=0.16，p=0.02）与更高的 AUS 相关。在文化压力源和男子气概之间发现了显著的交互效应[移民压力 x 男子气概（β=0.22，p<.001）；NCR x 男子气概（β=0.22，p<.001）]，即较高的男子气概水平加强了文化压力和 AUS 之间的关联。本研究的结果可以为针对拉丁裔移民男性的减少酒精使用的文化适宜干预措施提供信息。
