基于社会控制的观点和先前的研究结果，我们测试的假设在何种程度上的家庭和社交网络的特征与物质使用障碍（SUD），以及这些协会是否因性别而异。在这项研究中，SUD是酒精或非法药物滥用或依赖，根据美国精神病学协会诊断和统计手册的标准定义。通过全国拉丁裔和亚裔美国人调查（NLAAS）中具有全国代表性的成年拉丁裔数据，我们发现受访者与家人的语言使用，而不是语言熟练程度，似乎是社会同化的更有效代理，以代表SUD风险的差异水平。SUD与男性而非女性的家庭关系问题呈正相关，与女性而非男性与朋友更频繁的互动呈正相关。结果表明，与SUD相关的社会同化的显着特征包括语言使用的背景下，在家庭和社会网络关系的变化，不同的拉丁美洲男性和女性之间的重要方式。
Based on social control perspectives and results from prior studies, we test hypotheses about the extent to which characteristics of family and social networks are associated with substance use disorders (SUD), and whether these associations vary by sex. In this study an SUD is alcohol or illicit drug abuse or dependence as defined by criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association. With nationally representative data of adult Latinos from the National Latino and Asian American Survey (NLAAS), we found that respondents' language use with family, rather than language proficiency, appears to be a more efficient proxy for social assimilation to represent differential levels of risk of SUD. SUD was positively associated with problematic family relations for men but not women and was positively associated with more frequent interactions with friends for women but not men. The results suggest that the salient features of social assimilation associated with SUD include the context of language use and transformations in family and social network relationships that differ in important ways between Latino men and women.
