Abstract It has been posited that recent Latino immigrants may be at higher risk for involvement with driving while impaired (DWI) due to a failure of fully understanding the risks associated with DWI as a result of cultural norms from their countries of origin, including lax enforcement of DWI laws. Yet, the literature shows that, in general, Latino immigrants are less likely to drive while impaired than their U.S.-born counterparts, albeit DWI rates vary sharply by country of origin. Beyond these broad results, there is a scarcity of knowledge regarding the drinking and driving trajectories of recent Latino immigrants. A preliminary study conducted by this research team examined drinking and driving behaviors in a sample of Latino immigrants in Miami-Dade County, FL, approximately 7 years after immigration. Results indicated that compared to the most established immigrants in the sample (permanent residents), undocumented immigrants were less likely to understand DWI laws, more likely to binge drink, and less likely to perceive the associated risks. Despite such elevated risk factors, undocumented immigrants were less likely to be involved in DWI events than permanent residents, in part because of their desire to stay undetected by law officers, but largely because of their limited access to cars. Interestingly, our preliminary study found that riding with an impaired driver (RWID) was a rather prevalent risk even upon arrival. Given that it is not hindered by driving limitations, RWID constitutes a more immediate (and overlooked) risk for immigrants than DWI. Thus, our preliminary work suggests a picture in which Latino immigrants, despite some contributing risk factors, do not drive while impaired immediately after arriving to the country, but such behavior increases over time. Such a transition period offers an opportunity for early intervention to deter not only DWI but also RWID, as these behaviors are to some extent related. This application will begin examining this opportunity. The proposed study will take advantage of the lessons learned from our cross-sectional exploratory study to provide a detailed examination of the DWI/RWID phenomena among recent Latino immigrants as they evolve from pre-immigration through their first 3 years in the United States. These initial years have been identified as a period of significant change and stress for immigrants that can determine future DWI/RWID outcomes. The ultimate goal of the study is to acquire a detailed understanding of the environmental, demographic, and sociocultural factors influencing the early adoption of DWI/RWID trajectories. This knowledge will be used to inform culturally relevant intervention strategies for preventing DWI/RWID in the target population.

摘要 据推测，最近的拉丁裔移民可能处于较高的风险参与驾驶，而 由于文化规范导致的未能充分理解与DWI相关的风险， 包括对DWI法律执法不严。然而，文献表明，一般而言， 拉丁裔移民在受损时开车的可能性比美国移民低。出生的同行，虽然DWI率不同 从原产国来看，除了这些广泛的结果之外，关于饮酒的知识还很缺乏。 以及最近拉丁裔移民的驾驶轨迹。这个研究小组进行的一项初步研究 在佛罗里达州迈阿密戴德县的一个拉丁美洲移民样本中检查了饮酒和驾驶行为， 移民后7年。结果表明，与最成熟的移民相比， 样本（永久居民），无证移民不太可能理解DWI法律， 可能会酗酒，不太可能意识到相关的风险。尽管风险因素增加， 无证移民参与DWI事件的可能性低于永久居民，部分原因是 因为他们希望不被执法人员发现，但主要是因为他们获得汽车的机会有限。 有趣的是，我们的初步研究发现，与受损司机（RWID）一起乘车是一种相当普遍的风险 即使在抵达时。鉴于它不受驾驶限制的阻碍，RWID构成了一个更直接的（和 移民的风险高于DWI。因此，我们的初步工作表明，拉丁美洲人 尽管有一些危险因素，但移民在抵达后不会立即驾驶， 国家，但这种行为随着时间的推移而增加。这样的过渡期为早日实现这些目标提供了机会。 干预，以阻止不仅DWI，而且RWID，因为这些行为在某种程度上是相关的。本申请 将开始研究这个机会。 拟议的研究将利用我们从横断面探索性研究中吸取的教训， 详细研究最近拉丁裔移民中DWI/RWID现象的演变 从移民前到在美国的前三年。这些最初的几年被确定为 移民的重大变化和压力时期，可以决定未来的DWI/RWID结果。的 研究的最终目标是详细了解环境，人口统计学， 影响DWI/RWID轨迹早期采用的社会文化因素。这些知识将用于 为在目标人群中预防酒后驾车/酒后驾车/酗酒的文化相关干预战略提供信息。
