Latino Parenting Practices
Parent and adolescent self-reports are the most common sources for measuring parenting practices. This study's purpose was to compare how parent and adolescent reports of parenting behaviors differentially predict adolescent gateway drug use. The sample consisted of 252 Latino adolescent-parent dyads. After controlling for potential confounding influences, only adolescents' reports about their parents' parenting behaviors were significant and exp…
Is Immigration a Racial Issue? Anglo Attitudes on Immigration Policies in a Border County
Objective. This study assesses the association between Anglo aversion to Latinos, physical proximity to Latinos, and contact with ethnic minorities, with expressed preferences for immigration policies. Methods. Data were drawn from a telephone survey of San Diego County, California, residents ( N =549 Anglos) using random‐digit‐dial procedures during 2005–2006 that was conducted by closely supervised professional interviewers. Descriptive reports…
Month Prevalence of DSM-III-R Psychiatric Disorders Among Mexican Americans
The burden of disease attributable to mental illnesses has major costs and human services implications in the United States. Mexican Americans compose two thirds of the nation's largest and fastest-growing minority group, Latinos. We report 12-month DSM-III-R psychiatric disorder rates among Mexican Americans derived from a population survey of immigrants and US-born adults of Mexican origin conducted in rural and urban areas of central Californi…
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…

Adulthood Sequela of Adolescent Heavy Drinking among Mexican Americans
This study examines mental health and behavioral sequela of heavy drinking in adolescence among Mexican American adults between 18 and 59 years of age. Previous research with U.S. population samples has shown that role performance and role transitions in adulthood are impaired by adolescent substance abuse problems. To test this hypothesis, data from the Mexican American Prevalence and Services Survey were used. Using bivariate and multivariate a…
Perceived Discrimination and Depression among Mexican-Origin Adults in California
We contend that perceived discrimination has an independent effect on depression outcomes among adults of Mexican origin. Using a sample of 3,012 Mexican-origin respondents in Fresno, California in 1995/96 (ages 18-59) we investigate the direct and moderating connections between perceived discrimination, acculturative stress, and mental health (CES-D). We also investigate the social patterning of perceived discrimination. While more highly accult…
Gaps in Service Utilization by Mexican Americans With Mental Health Problems
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the degree of underutilization of services for mental health problems among urban and rural Mexican American adults. METHOD: A probability sample (N = 3,012) was used to represent the Mexican American population of Fresno County, California, and face-to-face interviews were conducted with the use of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used…
Drug Use and Ethnicity in Early Adolescence
Depressive symptomatology
This is a study of 1,001 male and female Mexican migrant farmworkers, ages 18 to 59, in rural central California. The Center for Epidemiological Studies–Depression (CES-D) scale was used to measure prevalence of depressive symptomatology and its distribution on demographic, social support, acculturation, and acculturation stress variables. CES-D caseness rates (≥ 16) were 21.1% for men and 19.7% for women. Logistic regression showed significant r…
Contextual Effects of Perinatal Substance Exposure among Black and White Women in California
This secondary analysis assessed the impact of neighborhood characteristics on individual substance exposures among pregnant women in California. Zip code-level census data were attached to data from the 1992 California Perinatal Substance Exposure Study to serve as a proxy for neighborhood characteristics. The central hypothesis of this study suggests that there are differences in substance exposure rates among women living in neighborhoods with…
Illicit drug use among Mexicans and Mexican Americans in California
Aims. To examine the effects of gender and acculturation on illicit drug use among the Mexican‐origin population in California. Design. The 3012 subjects between 18 and 59 years of age were selected under a stratified, multi‐stage cluster sampling method. Setting. Fresno County in California is primarily agricultural, with only one metropolitan area. Over 30% of the total population of 764 800, are Hispanics, of Mexican origin. Measurements. A mo…
Lifetime Prevalence of DSM-III-R Psychiatric Disorders Among Urban and Rural Mexican Americans in California
BACKGROUND: The Mexican American Prevalence and Services Survey presents lifetime prevalence rates for 12 DSM-III-R psychiatric disorders in a sample of 3012 adults of Mexican origin by place of residence and nativity, and compares these results with those of population surveys conducted in the United States and Mexico. METHODS: The stratified random sample included non-institutionalized persons aged 18 to 59 years of Mexican origin, who were res…
Prenatal Substance Abuse in California
This article reports the overall statewide findings of an epidemiological study that included 29,494 pregnant women who had been admitted for delivery in more than 200 hospitals in California and who were tested for alcohol and other drugs via blind urine toxicology screens. Results were matched to demographic data. The article includes analysis and discussion of four major variables: race/ethnic group differences, acculturation, source of paymen…
The Influence of Living Alone on Depression in Elderly Persons
The mental health effects of living alone on elderly persons are not well known. Using multiple regression models, the authors attempted to distinguish the influence of living alone on depressive symptoms from the influence of other highly relevant variables: social support, stressors, age, sex, and marital status. The data derive from a stratified community probability sample of persons 50 years of age and older. The authors find that elderly pe…
Social Networks, Social Support, and their Relationship to Depression among Immigrant Mexican Women
This empirical study uses data derived from a community survey of women of Mexican descent in San Diego County in order to identify characteristics of immigrant social networks, and determine how these characteristics are related to emotional support and personal distress. Correlational and chi-square analyses were used to manipulate aggregate data. Major findings are that social networks, including both friends and family, are available from the…
Effects of Social Support from Various Sources on Depression in Elderly Persons
Although global measures of social support demonstrate significant effects on psychological and physical well-being, the differential significance of various support sources is largely unknown. The present study examines differences in the effects of functional expressive support by source on depressive symptoms. This approach is contrasted with network interaction studies of elderly persons, which do not measure functional support but do suggest…
The effects of types of social support from adult children on depression in elderly persons
Employing a stressors-mental health outcomes model, this study examines the effects of four newly developed measures of functional social support from adult children on the depressive symptomatology of elderly persons. Data derive from structured interviews of a community, stratified probability sample of adults aged 50 and over (N =1,174). The stressors examined are undesirable life events and level of disability. Scales representing four types …

Migration and Mental Health
Empirical research in the field of migration and mental health is rare and its recent appearance follows decades of inconsistent reports in the research literature about the risks posed by numerous precipitating and predisposing factors. This article has two goals: to summarize critically selected issues and methodological problems regarding mental health implications of migration-adaptation, and, to test empirically hypotheses derived from the F…
