“…The perception of alcohol use in these regions has changed over time. From early colonial days during the process of evangelization, the use of alcoholic beverages in rituals and as part of the food of indigenous and enslaved persons in Central and South America came to be viewed as a moral problem associated with the poor character of alcohol consumers (Brulotte 2017; Pierce & Toxqui 2014). This historical legacy may continue to influence the negative attitudes of many persons in Latin America, including nursing students’ attitudes towards the phenomena.…”

The present study identified and compared the attitudes of nursing students from North and South American countries towards alcohol, alcohol use disorders and persons with alcohol use disorders (AUDs). A cross-sectional design and survey approach were used. The sample consisted of 327 nursing students recruited from four nursing schools in metropolitan regions of North and South America. The questionnaire contained questions about sex, age, marital status, home country and other questions about training in substance use disorders during nursing education and previous experiences with substance use disorder patients. To identify nursing students' attitudes, validated English, Spanish and Portuguese versions of the attitudes scale for alcohol, alcoholism and persons with AUDs (EAFAA) were applied. Comparison of the four groups suggested that nursing students in the United States demonstrated more positive attitudes than students from Colombia, Mexico and Brazil. Similar positive attitudes were observed towards individuals with AUDs. Results of the attitudes towards the aetiology of AUDs showed positive attitudes in all samples, suggesting a contemporary understanding of AUDs. Nursing students' attitudes were associated with home country and training in substance use disorders during nursing education. Nursing students' attitudes were generally positive across countries. Idiosyncratic cultural and educational aspects in these countries and world regions likely significantly influenced the attitudes of nursing students towards alcohol and associated issues.

“…The advertisement of alcohol products to Latinas has been developed to increase sales. This increase may be a function of both highly targeted marketing efforts and expanded exposure to media which portray alcohol use as imparting status (Brulotte, 2017). An analysis of magazine advertisements found differing themes with those targeting non-Hispanic White as "having fun with friends and being cool" and those targeting Latina and Black women as "partying and happiness" (Fullwood et al, 2016).…”

Objectives: Explore changes in abstinence rates in Mexican women (MW) residing in the United States based on nativity and time in the United States as an indicator risks for future alcohol-related disorders. Design: A secondary analysis of data from the National Health Interview Survey evaluated rates of abstinence between 2000 and 2017. A logistic regression was completed to address the impact of age, years in the United States, sample years. Sample: A total of 29,860 MW surveyed over an 18-year period that included those born in and outside the United States. Primary Research Variables: Dependent variable was abstinence status; independent variables included nativity, year of survey, age, years in the United States (if immigrant). Results: Immigrant MW showed higher rates of alcohol abstinence than U.S.-born MW across all years, but regardless of place of birth, fewer MW are abstaining over time. Among immigrant MW, those only in the United States greater than 15 years had a greater risk of becoming a drinker than those in the United States less than 5 years. Conclusion: There are declining rates of alcohol abstinence among MW regardless of immigration status. The lower rate of abstinent MW increases their risk for alcohol-related disorders. Assessing MW’s use of alcohol and providing targeted education is essential.
