美国拉美裔人群的健康结果因种族和/或族裔群体成员身份而存在差异，随着这一异质性人口的不断增长，了解其中的亚群体以及群体间差异可能对健康结果可能产生的影响也变得越来越重要。本文强调了现有研究的一个主要局限性——在研究药物使用行为时，西班牙裔人口几乎完全被归为一个泛种族类别。然而，有证据表明西班牙裔亚群体之间存在物质使用行为差异，这在设计预防和干预计划时可能很重要。虽然这一领域的大多数研究都集中在成年人身上，但需要更多的研究来了解西班牙裔青少年物质使用行为的亚组差异。本文概述了美国西班牙裔物质使用行为的研究概要，包括文化适应、出生和原籍文化等因素如何充当风险和保护因素。然而，关于西班牙裔亚群体之间的差异如何与文化适应水平相互作用以增加或减少与药物使用相关的风险因素的研究还不够。因此，作者建议药物使用研究人员尝试通过询问有关国籍和/或种族/亚群体身份的标准化人口统计问题来改进未来的研究设计，并在分析中考虑到这一点。收集此类具体数据可用于制定更有针对性的预防和干预计划。
Differences in health outcomes on the basis of racial and/or ethnic group membership have been documented among Hispanics in the U.S. As this heterogeneous population continues to grow, so does the importance of understanding the subgroups within it and the possible effect that between-group variations may have on health outcomes. This paper highlights a major limitation of the existing research - that the Hispanic population is almost exclusively lumped into one pan-ethnic category when examining substance use behaviors. However, there is evidence to suggest that differences in substance use behaviors exist between Hispanic subgroups, which may be important when designing prevention and intervention programs. While the majority of research in this arena has focused on adults, more research is required to understand subgroup differences in substance use behaviors among Hispanic youth. This paper provides a synopsis of the research on U.S. Hispanic substance use behaviors, including how factors such as acculturation, nativity, and culture of origin can act as risk and protective factors. However, there is an insufficient amount of research looking at how the differences between Hispanic subgroups may interact with acculturation levels to increase or decrease risk factors associated with substance use. Therefore, the authors suggest that substance use researchers attempt to improve future study designs by asking standardized demographic questions of national origin and/or ethnic/subgroup identity and take this into account in their analyses. The collection of such specific data could then be used to develop more targeted prevention and intervention programs.
