English use/proficiency, ethnic discrimination, and alcohol use disorder in Hispanic immigrants

Características Personales Del Migrante Y El Consumo De Drogas Licitas E Ilícitas: Una Revisión Sistemática

“…Los estudios encontrados se realizaron en mayor proporción en Estados Unidos de América con un 56% (Arcury et al, 2016;Blackson et al, 2015;Bryant & Kim, 2013;Cano, 2020;Cano et al, 2018;Cantrell, 2014;De La Rosa et al, 2020;Dillon et al, 2013;Hernández et al, 2009;Levitt et al, 2019;Marsiglia et al, 2009;Park et al, 2014;Patel et al, 2018;Sánchez, 2015), seguidos de China con un 16% (Chen & Chien, 2018;Liu et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2017;Zaller et al, 2014), España con un 8% (Sordo et al, 2015;Tortajada Navarro et al, 2008), mientras que en menor proporción en Países Bajos (Creemers et al, 2017), Israel (Walsh et al, 2018), Italia (Di Napoli et al, 2020), Suecia (Harris et al, 2019) y Canadá (Hamilton et al, 2012) con un 4% cada uno, correspondiendo a estudios de tipo no experimental. La población está integrada sin restricciones de edad de 11 años o más, constituida por migrantes hispanos, trabajadores migrantes latinos, jóvenes migrantes con diversos orígenes étnicos (Surinam, Marroquís, Turco, Antillano y Asiático), migrantes indios, migrantes asiáticos, migrantes en España y migrantes no refugiados, en estudios existentes del año 2008 al 2020, de los cuales 48% fueron publicados en los último cinco años, en el periodo comprendido de 2016-2020, el 40% publicados entre el 2011-2015 y 12% publicados en el periodo del 2008-2010.…”

“…Respecto al estatus laboral, ser trabajador agrícola, trabajar en un lugar de nivel socioeconómico alto y estar desempleado son factores de riesgo que se asocian al consumo de alcohol (Di Napoli et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2017;Arcury et al, 2016;Sordo et al, 2015;Zaller et al, 2014). Además, aspectos culturales durante la migración o la inserción cultural, como la cultura étnica, la aculturación, la enculturación, la discriminación étnica percibida, tener un mayor dominio del idioma inglés, estatus migratorio, ser de origen Mexicano, vivir en un campamento de migrantes, el tiempo en Estados Unidos, vivir en el centro de España, vivir en zonas urbanas con más de 50 000 habitantes, la duración de la estadía > 7 años se asociaron significativamente con los patrones de consumo de alcohol (Cano, 2020;Di Napoli et al, 2020;Chen & Chien, 2018;Walsh et al, 2018;Sánchez, 2015;Sordo et al, 2015;Park et al, 2014;Bryant & Kim, 2013;Dillon et al, 2013;Marsiglia et al, 2009).…”

Acculturation, coping, and PTSD in Hispanic 9/11 rescue and recovery workers.

“…While Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth and tend to have higher English proficiency than other Hispanic subgroups (Guarnaccia et al, 2007;Lopez & Patten, 2015), they are more likely to experience economic challenges, such as unemployment (Alarcón et al, 2016;Lopez & Patten, 2015), and report greater discrimination and psychological distress compared to other subgroups (Rivera et al, 2008). A recent study of alcohol use among Hispanic immigrants also found that perceived ethnic discrimination was significantly associated with alcohol use in Hispanic men (Cano, 2020). Further research is needed to better understand the underlying processes (e.g., discrimination, acculturative stress, socioeconomic inequities) that may contribute to the increased use of substances to cope among higher acculturated Hispanics, especially due to the health conditions often associated with substance abuse, such as comorbid mental health disorders, lung and heart disease, cancer, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS and others (Schulte & Hser, 2014).…”

An examination of acculturation, ethnic identity, discrimination, and offending among U.S. Hispanic persons

“…Even so, the multiplicative effects of these processes have not been thoroughly studied in criminological scholarship, with recent literature suggesting the exploration of these relationships as avenues for future research (Ibañez et al, 2017). The moderating effect of discrimination on the relationship between acculturation and offending is also relevant and may be distinctive for Hispanic persons (Cano, 2020; Viruell-Fuentes, 2007). Indeed, more acculturated Hispanic individuals may process discriminatory experiences differently when compared to their less acculturated counterparts, increasing their likelihood of engaging in antisocial behaviors, including offending (Viruell-Fuentes, 2007).…”

“…Although Hispanic persons comprise a dynamic ethnic subgroup, it is important to contextualize the relevance of these cultural processes more generally in efforts of encouraging large-scale, group-specific, and robust criminological research beyond adolescence and narrow discussions of immigration and crime. As such, we focus on these cultural processes due to their salience for Hispanic persons regarding behavioral outcomes (Acosta et al, 2015; Cano, 2020; Lui & Zamboanga, 2018; Schwartz et al, 2015). We first examine the relationships between acculturation, ethnic identity, and discrimination in both violent and nonviolent offending.…”
