Psychosocial Factors Associated With Recent Alcohol Use Among Hispanic Youth
Abstract
A total of 946 Hispanic students in 7th to 12th grade in Greater Cincinnati schools ( N = 133) completed a survey assessing factors associated with recent alcohol use. Results indicated that 24.5% used alcohol in the past month. Males were more likely than females to recently use alcohol. A series of odds ratios revealed that frequent church attendance, making good grades, and having parents/teachers frequently talk and set/enforce rules regarding alcohol use were associated with decreased recent alcohol use. Frequent participation in risky behaviors was directly related to recent alcohol use. Ongoing parent, teacher, and school communication and the consistent setting and enforcement of rules should be encouraged. Findings may be beneficial to prevention specialists developing programs targeting Hispanic youth. Future studies should seek to identify specific activities within the family, school, and community that help deter alcohol use among this population.

Parent monitoring and oversight are especially salient, as their influence cuts across three social systems, e.g., by decreasing poor academic performance.
“Parent monitoring and oversight are especially salient (Ozer et al., 2011; King and Vidourek, 2010; Mongro-Wilson, 2008), as their influence cuts across these three social systems, e.g., by decreasing poor academic performance (Hill and Taylor, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
