We empirically examined the relation between acculturation and alcohol use in immigrant youth, with attention to demographic and methodological moderators.
We identified 43 studies (38 empirical studies published in peer-reviewed journals and 6 dissertations) yielding 66 independent samples and 118 effect sizes. The total sample size was 61,851 immigrant youth from birth to 25 years of age (M = 937.14, standard deviation = 1,271.24) with a mean age of 15.50 years (standard deviation = 2.46).
The average effect size for the fixed effects model was .04 with a 95% confidence interval of .03-.05, which was significantly different from zero (p < .001). The average effect size for the random effects model was .05 with a 95% confidence interval of .02-.08, which was significantly different from zero (p = .002). Location of the study, age of participants, type of measurements used to assess acculturation and alcohol use, and publication year were significant moderators.
This meta-analytic review supported the immigrant paradox in which acculturation puts immigrant youth at risk for alcohol use. Several demographic and methodological factors also moderated this relation in a significant way. Important implications are discussed.
本研究通过实证检验了文化适应与移民青少年饮酒行为之间的关系，并关注了人口统计学和方法学的调节因素。
我们确定了 43 项研究（38 项在同行评审期刊上发表的实证研究和 6 项论文），共产生了 66 个独立样本和 118 个效应量。总样本量为 61851 名从出生到 25 岁的移民青少年（M=937.14，标准差=1271.24），平均年龄为 15.50 岁（标准差=2.46）。
固定效应模型的平均效应量为.04，95%置信区间为.03-.05，显著不同于零（p<.001）。随机效应模型的平均效应量为.05，95%置信区间为.02-.08，显著不同于零（p=.002）。研究地点、参与者年龄、用于评估文化适应和饮酒行为的测量类型以及出版年份是显著的调节因素。
本元分析综述支持移民青少年的文化适应与饮酒行为之间存在“移民悖论”，即文化适应使移民青少年面临饮酒风险。几个人口统计学和方法学因素也以显著的方式调节了这种关系。讨论了重要的意义。
