Path analysis was used to examine the role of acculturation, helping relationships, partner status, age, and education on heavy drinking and alcohol problems among 119 Latina adults at risk of an alcohol-exposed pregnancy (AEP). Greater acculturation was positively related to more helping relationships and heavy drinking, and there was an indirect positive relationship between acculturation and alcohol problems. There was also a positive relationship between helping relationships and alcohol problems, and a negative relationship between helping relationships and being partnered. Knowledge of the mechanisms by which acculturation and interpersonal factors influence behavior change can inform potential targets for intervention among Latinas with AEP risk
