目的：本文探讨了在美国的墨西哥裔美国人、波多黎各人、古巴裔美国人和南美洲/中美洲人的出生地、文化适应和自我报告的酒后驾车 (DUI) 之间的关系，以及 12 个月和终生酒后驾车被捕率。人口。方法：采用多阶段整群样本设计，对来自美国五个大都市区（迈阿密、纽约、费城、休斯顿和洛杉矶）家庭的 5,224 名成年人（18 岁或以上）进行了访谈。结果：出生地与 DUI、12 个月 DUI 逮捕率或终生 DUI 逮捕率无关。中、高文化适应群体中的墨西哥裔美国人更有可能发生酒后驾车。与外国出生的受访者以及高文化文化群体的受访者相比，无论国籍如何，美国出生的受访者在开车时被警察拦住的比例更高。美国出生的古巴裔美国人、墨西哥裔美国人和南美洲/中美洲人认为，与外国出生的人相比，他们在驾驶能力受损之前平均可以喝更多的饮料。结论：西班牙裔国家群体中与酒后驾车相关的行为存在相当大的差异。在美国出生的西班牙裔和在国外出生的西班牙裔，但不同文化程度的人，都有相同的酒后驾车风险。
Objective: This article examines the association between birthplace, acculturation, and self-reported driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), 12-month and lifetime DUI arrest rates among Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cuban Americans, and South/Central Americans in the US. population. Method: Using a multistage cluster sample design, 5,224 adults (18 years of age or older) were interviewed from households in five metropolitan areas of the United States: Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Houston, and Los Angeles. Results: Birthplace was not associated with DUI, 12-month DUI arrest rates, or lifetime DUI arrest rates. Mexican Americans in the medium- and high-acculturation groups were more likely to engage in DUI. A higher proportion of US.-born than foreign-born respondents as well as those in the high-acculturation group, irrespective of national origin, reported having been stopped by police when driving. U.S.-born Cuban Americans, Mexican Americans, and South/Central Americans thought they could consume a higher mean number of drinks before their driving is impaired compared with those who are foreign born. Conclusions: There are considerable differences in DUI-related behavior across Hispanic national groups. US.-born Hispanics and those born abroad, but not those at different levels of acculturation, have equal risk of involvement with DUI.
