En este contexto, en primer lugar, cuestiona el tratamiento predominantemente militar que convierte la migración transfronteriza en un asunto de seguridad; en segundo lugar, subraya la emergencia del carácter forzado de la migración colombiana transfront…
Heterogeneity in patterns of sexual risk behaviors among african‐american youth: Associations with general and race‐specific factors
This descriptive study employed a within‐groups analytic approach to examine patterns of sexual risk behavior and co‐occurring general and race/ethnicity‐specific risk and protective factors in a community sample of African‐American youth (n = 436). Cluster analysis was used to classify young adults by levels of self‐reported past year sexual risk behaviors. MANOVA, ANOVA, and chi‐square analyses indicated significant associations between cluster…
The organization of immigrants as enhancer and/or inhibitor of their settlement in host societies: The case of Colombians in Spain
Colombian migration to Spain has increased significantly in recent years due to the convergence of many different factors; one of the most decisive factors is the deterioration of economic conditions as well as social and political contexts due to the worsening of Colombia's armed conflict. This article takes into account the country's circumstances that directly or indirectly underlie the explanation of Colombian's mobility. It also poses a ques…

Differences Among Substance Abusing Latino, Anglo, and African-American Juvenile Offenders in Predictors of Recidivism and Treatment Outcome
Alcohol and drug use is prevalent among juvenile offenders and many of the risk factors that predict delinquent behavior also predict adolescent drug use. This study examined the impact of self-reported risk factors on treatment outcomes and recidivism among Latino, Anglo, and African American juvenile offenders. Risk factors included family structure and interactions, peer influences, education, psychiatric history, substance abuse history, stre…

Self‐report data were collected via structured interviews as part of a longitudinal follow‐up of a larger school‐based study. Participants were grouped according to extent of lifetime abuse experiences. Cumulative lifetime abuse exper…
Associations Between Early-Adolescent Substance Use and Subsequent Young-Adult Substance Use Disorders and Psychiatric Disorders Among a Multiethnic Male Sample in South Florida
Objectives. We examined the associations among early-adolescent substance use, subsequent young-adult substance use disorders, and psychiatric disorders among a community sample of males. Methods. Early-adolescent data were collected in classroom surveys (1990–1993), and young-adult data were collected in face-to-face interviews (1998–2000). Results. We found strong associations between early-adolescent substance use and young-adult substance use…
Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorders in South Florida: Racial/Ethnic and Gender Contrasts in a Young Adult Cohort
BACKGROUND: Prevalence rates of psychiatric and substance use disorders among young adults in South Florida are presented. Unique aspects of the study include the large sample size, its ethnic diversity, and the fact that a substantial proportion of Hispanic participants were foreign born. METHODS: This study builds on a previous cohort study of students who entered middle school in 1990. A random subsample of this representative cohort (N = 1803…
What Do We Know about Latino Drug Use? Methodological Evaluation of State Databases
This study has two goals, to estimate drug use trends among Latino adolescents in states where the majority reside, and evaluate methodologies used to gather this information to improve their quality. State surveys provide the only source ofestimates ofdrug use by ethnic groups at this geographic level. Presumably, these data are used to evaluate national drug control policies, target research and prevention, and law enforcement efforts. This stu…
Acculturation, familism, and alcohol use among Latino adolescent males: Longitudinal relations
This article advances our understanding of factors associated with patterns and consequences of early alcohol involvement among Latino teens, with an emphasis on how nativity may influence longitudinal relations among variables including acculturation, familism, and alcohol involvement. Following a comparative presentation of alcohol use prevalence rates, the current study offers a culturally founded theoretical model of early adolescent drinking…
Drug Use and Ethnicity in Early Adolescence
Temporal Influences of Family Structure and Family Risk Factors on Drug Use Initiation in a Multiethnic Sample of Adolescent Boys
Acculturation Strain Theory: Its Application in Explaining Drug Use Behavior Among Cuban and Other Hispanic Youth
This paper presents a review and synthesis of the acculturation process, culture change, and social psychological stress literatures and proposes an empirical model combining elements of all three to explain Latino adolescent drug use in the context of other explanatory factors. The paper assesses current knowledge and urges use of integrative theoretical models that explore risk/protective and unique cultural adjustment factors affecting Latinos…
Two Different Worlds: Acculturation Stress and Adaptation among Cuban and Nicaraguan Families
This is a study of acculturation and acculturation stress among Cuban and Nicaraguan adolescent males and their parents. The sample consisted of 674 Cuban-American and 211 Nicaraguan-American 6th and 7th grade adolescents and one of their parents. Hypotheses predicting group differences in acculturation stress were tested. Analyses were bivariate and multivariate, using parent and adolescent data. Findings indicated important differences in accul…
Teacher and parent perceptions of behavior problems among a sample of African American, Hispanic, and non‐Hispanic white studients
A multiracial/multiethnic sample of middle school adolescents and their teachers was used to assess whether teacher ratings of student behavior problems varied according to teacher‐student racial/ethnic differences and students' perception of teachers' attitudes toward them. No significant mean score differences were found for Hispanic or non‐Hispanic white students according to the race/ethnicity of the teachers doing the ratings. However, Afric…
Cultural conflicts and problem behaviors of Latino adolescents in home and school environments
This empirical study examines the behavioral sequelae of acculturation strains among Latino adolescents in home ans school settings. Two theoretically derived hypotheses are tested. First, low acculturation Latinos experiencing strains associated wsith rapid cultural and language transitions will have more behavior problems reported by their parents and teachers. Second, highly acculturated Latinos reporting more acculturation strains. associated…
Acculturative stress and personal adjustment among hispanic adolescent boys
This paper presents a comparative analysis of the effects of acculturation and acculturative stress on the self-esteem of Hispanic/Latino adolescents. The study is comparative in that it focuses on variations among both immigrant and native-born Hispanics. The data were derived from a longitudinal study of adolescents (n = 6,760) being conducted in Miami, Florida. The sample for this paper (n = 4,296) consisted of all the adolescents of Hispanic …
Who is Hispanic? Definitions and their consequences
What is the appropriate method for classifying Spanish-speaking-origin inhabitants of the United States? This paper presents relevant data from the first wave of a longitudinal study of adolescents in the greater Miami area. As expected, the broadest definition--"up to third generation" Hispanic--identified the largest proportion of the sample as Hispanic, whereas parent self-report placed the smallest proportion into the Hispanic category. When …
Stressful life events and changes in substance use among a multiracial/ethnic sample of adolescent boys
This paper presents a comparative analysis of the prevalence of stressful life events and of the relationships between stressful life events and alcohol, illicit drug, and cigarette use among a multi-ethnic community sample (N = 2,446) of early adolescent boys. The data were derived from a longitudinal study of substance use behaviors and their psychosocial correlates among Hispanic, African-American, and White non-Hispanic adolescent boys residi…
Acculturation and delinquent behavior among Cuban American adolescents: Toward an empirical model
Uses data derived from a study of 6th- and 7th-grade Cuban American adolescents in the greater Miami, Florida, area. The effects of immigrant cultural adjustment on the behavior of adolescents, especially deviant behavior, has been a subject of interest for decades. However, heretofore, little empirical research has been conducted. Key findings indicate that family factors are related to the development of attitudes favoring deviance, whereas acc…
Risk factors for early adolescent drug use in four ethnic and racial groups
OBJECTIVES. It is widely believed that risk factors identified in previous epidemiologic studies accurately predict adolescent drug use. Comparative studies are needed to determine how risk factors vary in prevalence, distribution, sensitivity, and pattern across the major US ethnic/racial groups. METHODS. Baseline questionnaire data from a 3-year epidemiologic study of early adolescent development and drug use were used to conduct bivariate and …
Patterns of drug use among Cuban-American, African-American, and white non-Hispanic boys
This study examined initiation into drug use during grade school years in a sample of Cuban-American, Black, and White non-Hispanic students in the greater Miami, Fla, area. Findings indicate that first use of alcohol occurs in fifth grade and cigarettes in sixth grade for all subgroups except White non-Hispanics, who peak in the fifth grade. White non-Hispanics had the highest life-time levels of alcohol and cigarette use. Foreign-born Cuban Ame…
