“…Research among multiracial adolescents is important because findings from monoracial adolescents may not apply to adolescents with complex racial identities and distinct experiences ( Shih and Sanchez 2009 ). Moreover, there is mounting evidence that multiracial adolescents may be at greater risk than their monoracial peers for health outcomes, including sleep problems ( Udry et al 2003 ) and alcohol use ( Goings et al 2018 ). Despite known associations of sleep problems and alcohol use by which both are reciprocally exacerbated over time ( Koob and Colrain 2019 ), mechanisms underlying these heightened risk behaviors among multiracial adolescents remain a gap in the literature.…”

“…In 2017, 5.5 million U.S. adolescents ages 12–17 reported past-year drinking ( Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2018 ). In particular, multiracial adolescents may be at greater risk for alcohol use ( Goings et al 2018 ), compared to minority monoracial peers. A nationally-representative study of U.S. adolescents (National Survey on Drug Use and Health [NSDUH]) demonstrated that multiracial adolescents (4% of sample) were more likely to use alcohol compared to their minority monoracial peers (e.g., Black adolescents), but use less than White peers ( Goings et al 2018 ).…”

Mounting evidence suggests that multiracial adolescents may be at greater risk than their monoracial peers for both sleep problems and alcohol use. However, mechanisms underlying these uniquely-heightened risky health behaviors among multiracial adolescents remain a gap in the literature. This cross-sectional study examined a risk pathway involving discrimination experiences and negative mood underlying racial disparities in concurrent sleep problems and drinking frequency. Students at an urban, socioeconomically-disadvantaged high school ( N =414; grades 9–11, M age =16.00 [ SD =1.08]; 57% female; 17% multiracial, 41% Black, 22% White, 18% Asian, 2% Other; 12% Hispanic/Latinx) completed a survey. Path analysis demonstrated that associations of multiracial status with sleep problems (insomnia symptom severity and insufficient weekday sleep duration), but not drinking frequencies (past-year drinking or past-2-week binge-drinking frequencies), were explained by discrimination experiences and, in turn, negative mood. In ancillary analysis excluding White students, the serial indirect risk pathway was significant for both insomnia symptom severity and past-year drinking frequency outcomes. Discrimination experiences and negative mood may function as intermediate factors contributing to racial disparities in adolescent sleep problems, although longitudinal replication is needed.

“…A família é considerada estratégica para a proteção e socialização de seus membros e para a transmissão dos valores sociais e culturais, além de exercer influência significativa sobre as crenças daqueles, por meio de atitudes e comportamentos relacionados ao processo saúde-doença para lidar com hábitos considerados não saudáveis no contexto familiar, como o abuso de drogas (1,4) .…”

“…Sobre as repercussões das drogas de abuso na família, a experiência dos familiares afetados pode ser devastadora nos aspectos psicológico, financeiro, social e interpessoal do funcionamento familiar. O uso de drogas por um membro da família causa grande pressão sobre o restante dos membros, o que ocasiona dificuldades para se lidar com o problema familiar e com conflitos relacionados ao uso de drogas (2)(3)(4)7) . O impacto do uso de drogas na família se dá por meio de sentimentos negativos como tensão, estresse, preocupação, estigma, raiva e culpa (2,3,7) , entretanto perseverança, coragem, otimismo e esperança são essenciais para se resistir às dificuldades acrescidas no cotidiano familiar (3,6) .…”

Objetivo: Identificar a esperança de famílias que convivem por tempo prolongado com o comportamento aditivo de um de seus membros. Métodos: Estudo transversal com familiares de 29 indivíduos internados com trauma físico associado à intoxicação por drogas de abuso, considerados eventos sentinela em um programa de vigilância epidemiológica das repercussões do uso de drogas em famílias. Foram utilizados um roteiro semiestruturado de entrevista e a Escala de Hopefulness–hopelessness. O teste de MannWhitney foi empregado para se verificar associações estatísticas. Resultados: Os usuários tinham, em média, idade de 40,1 anos e tempo médio de uso de drogas de 20,8 anos. O escore médio de esperança dos familiares foi de 28,81(± 2,83). A idade, o tempo de uso e o poliuso de drogas pelos usuários foram estatisticamente associados aos menores níveis de esperança, enquanto a prática religiosa, pelos familiares, foi estatisticamente associada a maiores níveis de esperança. Conclusão: Observou-se um escore médio de esperança baixo, indicando a necessidade de intervenção sobre esse sentimento nas famílias estudadas.

“…For example, the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions survey allows respondents to select multiple racial identities, but recodes responses into a single racial category, thus obfuscating potential racial group differences among Multiracial people (Chen et al, 2016). Yet, some evidence suggests Multiracial people demonstrate higher rates of alcohol use compared to other racial groups (Chavez & Sanchez, 2010;Chen et al, 2012;Goings et al, 2018;Jackson & LeCroy, 2009). For example, Multiracial Native Hawaiians, other Pacific Islanders, and Asian Americans reported higher lifetime alcohol use than their respective monoracial groups (Sakai et al, 2010).…”

Native American/American Indian (NA/AI) and Multiracial (those who claim more than one racial group) people report notably high alcohol use compared to other racial groups in the United States. However, NA/AI and Multiracial college students also report differences in their motivations for drinking alcohol. Therefore, it remains unclear if Multiracial NA/AI individuals are at different risk for alcohol use and negative alcohol-related consequences, and if there are distinct patterns of risk factors for alcohol consumption in these understudied populations. Given that college-aged students are at particularly high risk for alcohol use, we used the AlcoholEdu for CollegeTM survey in an exploratory study to compare the association between initial drinking age, college location (urban versus rural), and alcohol use motivations and consequences between monoracial NA/AI (N = 2,359) and Multiracial NA/AI college-aged students (N = 6,263). Overall, monoracial NA/AI students reported higher incidences of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems such as blacking out and missing class, compared to Multiracial NA/AI students. Risk factors, including earlier drinking age, impacted monoracial NA/AI students more than Multiracial NA/AI students, leading to higher rates of missing class and impaired driving. Despite similar levels of Internal Coping motivations for drinking (e.g., to feel more confident or sure of yourself), monoracial NA/AI students reported drinking more than Multiracial students and experiencing higher rates negative drinking-related outcomes. These results suggest that Multiracial NA/AI students may draw on protective factors not accessible to monoracial NA/AI students, highlighting the need for tailored interventions for students at highest risk.
