Previous research conducted among Latino/a immigrants has shown the underlying effect that exposure to stress after immigrating to the U.S. (i.e. health access, racial/ethnic discrimination, and language barriers) has on alcohol use patterns. However, given the demographic shifts in recent immigrants, understanding the influence of stress before (i.e. poverty, healthcare, and educational opportunities) and after immigration on their alcohol use (i.e. alcohol consumption and drinking behaviors in the past 12 months) in the context of migration and traditional gender roles is warranted. To examine the (a) cumulative effects of pre- to post-immigration stress, (b) respective moderating effects of traditional gender roles, and (c) forced migration on alcohol use for men and women. Hierarchical multiple regression and moderation analyses were conducted on a cross-sectional sample of 529 ( = 268 men, = 261 women) adult (18-34 years) from recent Latino/a immigrants in South Florida. Gender had a statistically significant difference on alcohol use, (F 527) = 18.68, < .001, with men ( = 4.36 ± SE =.22) reporting higher alcohol use than women ( = 3.08 ± SE =.20). Post-immigration stress (β = .12, = .03) but not pre-migration stress had a statistically significant association with alcohol use. There is no interaction effect by traditional gender roles and forced migration on the associations between pre- to post-immigration stress and alcohol use. Results suggest that post-immigration stress may be a reasonable intervention target to mitigate alcohol use among recent Latino/a immigrants, particularly among men.
先前针对拉丁裔移民的研究表明，移民到美国后面临的压力（例如，健康渠道、种族/族裔歧视和语言障碍）对饮酒模式有潜在影响。然而，鉴于最近移民的人口结构变化，有必要了解移民前后的压力（例如，贫困、医疗保健和教育机会）对他们饮酒的影响（即在过去 12 个月内的饮酒量和饮酒行为），包括在移民和传统性别角色的背景下。为了检验（a）移民前后压力的累积效应，（b）传统性别角色的各自调节效应，以及（c）强制迁移对男性和女性饮酒的影响。对来自南佛罗里达州的 529 名（ = 268 名男性， = 261 名女性）成年（18-34 岁）近期拉丁裔移民的横断面样本进行了分层多元回归和调节分析。性别在饮酒方面存在统计学差异，（F 527） = 18.68， < .001，男性（ = 4.36 ± SE =.22）报告的饮酒量高于女性（ = 3.08 ± SE =.20）。移民后压力（β = .12， = .03）而不是移民前压力与饮酒量有统计学上的显著关联。传统性别角色和强制迁移对移民前后压力与饮酒之间关联的交互作用没有影响。结果表明，移民后压力可能是减轻近期拉丁裔移民饮酒的合理干预目标，特别是对男性而言。
