BackgroundThis study examined the association between perceived neighborhood violence，perceived neighborhood collective efficacy，and binge drinking among Mexican Americans residing on the U.S.-Mexico border.MethodsData were collected from a multistage cluster sample of adult Mexican Americans reliving in the U.S.-Mexico border areas of加州州，亚利桑那州，新墨西哥州州，and Texas（N= 1，307）.调查加权响应率为67%。在受访者家中用英语或西班牙语进行了约1小时的面对面访谈。路径分析被用来测试集体效能是否介导的影响，感知邻里暴力对暴饮暴食results在30+-岁的妇女，感知邻里集体效能介导的影响，感知邻里暴力对暴饮暴食在理论上预测的方式：较低的暴力感知预测集体效能的感知增加，这反过来又预测少暴饮暴食。暴力观念对暴饮暴食的直接影响不显着。18至29岁的年轻女性表现出类似（但不显著）的影响模式。集体效能感也介导了暴力对男性酗酒的影响，但对老年人和年轻人的影响相反。老年男性表现出与老年女性相同的中介作用，但由于集体效能与酗酒之间存在强烈的正相关关系，这种作用在年轻男性中发生了逆转。也有年龄差异的直接影响暴力的看法，酗酒：暴力的看法预测更多的年轻男子之间的酗酒，但较少在老年男子。ConclusionsThese results突出了人们的反应的复杂性，邻里特点，他们的饮酒。尤其是年轻人，他们对集体效能感的反应似乎与其他群体非常不同。然而，在男性和女性中，随着年龄的增长，集体效能可能在健康结果中发挥越来越重要的保护作用。
BackgroundThis study examines the association between perceived neighborhood violence, perceived neighborhood collective efficacy, and binge drinking among Mexican Americans residing on the U.S.–Mexico border.MethodsData were collected from a multistage cluster sample of adult Mexican Americans residing in the U.S.–Mexico border areas of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas (N= 1,307). The survey weighted response rate was 67%. Face‐to‐face interviews lasting approximately 1 hour were conducted in respondents' homes in English or Spanish. Path analysis was used to test whether collective efficacy mediated the impact of perceived neighborhood violence on binge drinking.ResultsAmong 30+‐year‐old women, perceived neighborhood collective efficacy mediated the effects of perceived neighborhood violence on binge drinking in a theoretically predicted way: Lower perceptions of violence predicted an increased perception of collective efficacy, which in turn, predicted less binge drinking. Direct effects of violence perceptions on binge were nonsignificant. Younger 18‐ to 29‐year‐old women showed a similar (but nonsignificant) pattern of effects. Perceived collective efficacy also mediated the effects of perceived violence on binge drinking among men, but in opposite ways for older and younger men. Older men showed the same mediating effect as older women, but the effect reversed among younger men due to a strong, positive relation between collective efficacy and binge drinking. There were also age differences in the direct effect of violence perceptions on binge drinking: Perceptions of violence predicted more binge drinking among young men, but less among older men.ConclusionsThese results highlight the complexity of people's responses to neighborhood characteristics in regard to their drinking. Young men in particular seem to react very differently to perceptions of collective efficacy than other groups. However, among both men and women, collective efficacy may come to play an increasingly importantprotectiverole in health outcomes with age.
