本文的目的是确定社区SES和社区文化适应是否有怀孕的拉丁美洲人之间的物质暴露率的影响。本文中的假设进行了测试与逻辑回归分析的基础上合并的文件，个人水平的数据，从1992年围产期物质暴露研究在加州与1990年人口普查数据。我们的研究结果表明，社会经济地位并没有对拉丁裔的物质流行率的线性影响，除了一类的整体药物暴露。更高水平的社区文化适应与烟草、大麻、安非他明和任何药物的流行率有直接关系。社区文化适应也有一个直接的关系，酒精流行的英语为母语，但与西班牙语为母语的反向关系。我们的研究结果表明，社区文化适应是一个重要组成部分的物质使用研究的拉丁美洲人，以上和超越个人层面的措施，文化适应
The objective of this paper is to determine whether community SES and community acculturation have an effect on substance exposure rates among pregnant Latinas. The hypotheses in this paper are tested with logistic regression analyses based on a file which merges individual-level data from the 1992 Perinatal Substance Exposure Study in California with 1990 census data. Our findings indicate that community SES did not have a linear effect on substance prevalence rates for Latinas, except for a category of overall drug exposure. Higher levels of community acculturation had a direct relationship with prevalence rates for tobacco, marijuana, amphetamines, and any drug. Community acculturation also had a direct relationship with alcohol prevalence for English speakers, but an inverse relationship with Spanish speakers. Our results suggest that community acculturation is an important component of substance use studies of Latinas, above and beyond individual-level measures of acculturation
