Abstract

Latinx adolescents who experience discrimination distress are at greater risk for substance use. The present study examined whether Latinx adolescents with greater levels of resilience were protected from positive substance use expectancies, which have shown to be early predictors of substance use. Participants were 113 Latinx-identified adolescents [(M_age= 12.58; SD_age = 1.11); 51.3% female] who reported on average 7.17 instances of discrimination in their lifetime (SD = 7.24). Participants were recruited from three large, diverse, suburban, and urban schools with a high number of students receiving free/reduced-price school. Latinx adolescents who experienced discrimination distress and had greater levels of resilience were more protected from holding positive substance use expectancies than those with lower levels of resilience, above and beyond the effects of general stress and age. The results showed that resilience plays an important protective role against positive substance use expectancies for early Latinx adolescents who experience discrimination distress.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse presents rigorous new studies and research on ethnicity and cultural variation in alcohol, tobacco, licit and illicit forms of substance use and abuse. The research is drawn from many disciplines and interdisciplinary areas in the social and behavioral sciences, public health, and helping professions. The Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse is an international forum for identification of emergent and culturally diverse substance use and abuse trends, and the implementation of culturally competent strategies in harm reduction, individual, group, and family treatment of substance abuse. The Journal systematically investigates the beliefs, attitudes, and values of substance abusers, searching for the answers to the origins of drug use and abuse for different ethnic groups. The Journal publishes research papers, review papers, policy commentaries, and conference proceedings. The Journal welcomes submissions from across the globe, and strives to ensure efficient review and publication outcomes.
