Substance Use among Texas Hispanics and Non-Hispanics: Who's Using, Who's Not, and Why.
Farabee, David; And Others
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v17 n4 p523-36 Nov 1995
A 1993 Texas survey found that non-Hispanics were significantly more likely than Hispanics to report lifetime alcohol or drug use or past-year alcohol use. Among Hispanics, drug and alcohol use increased with acculturation. Among lifetime drug abstainers, health concerns was the most frequently cited reason for abstention for both groups; other reasons differed by ethnicity and acculturation. (SV)
