Health Disparities on Hispanic/Latino Parents in the U.S. and Mexico
Overview
This study aims to identify predictors of psychological distress and hazardous alcohol use in a sample of Hispanic/Latino parents with children aged 8 to 16 years residing in the US and Mexico. Specifically, we want to examine the predictive ability of specific parental characteristics and behaviors linked to youth antisocial behavior, such as (1) sociodemographic factors (e.g., age, gender, education), (2) family risk- and protective factors (e.g., family conflict, family functioning), (3) perceived stress, (4) cultural factors (e.g., discrimination, the context of reception), and (5) disclosure and exposure to alcohol-related content on social media.
