Thus, the present study examines how gendered racial microaggressions and racial collective self-esteem are associated with hazardous alcohol use among Asian American women, as well as the potential indirect effect of drinking to cope. A final sample of 300 Asian American women filled out a cross-sectional survey consisting of our study variables. Regression analyses indicated that gendered racial microaggressions was positively associated with hazardous alcohol use, whereas racial collective self-esteem was not associated. Drinking to cope indirectly explained the association between gendered racial microaggressions and alcohol use. Our result suggests that clinicians might consider helping their Asian American female clients practice alternative coping strategies aside from drinking to cope to alleviate their hazardous alcohol use. Practitioners are also encouraged to be aware of their clients' multiple identities and experiences of gendered racial microaggressions while providing treatment. To expand upon our findings, researchers are encouraged to investigate how these associations may manifest within specific ethnic subgroups, as well as by utilizing longitudinal research designs to study Asian American women's hazardous alcohol use.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143764183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a qualitative research method through semi-structured interviews, the study targeted 31 women who were selected using purposeful and snowball sampling, and in-depth interviews were conducted. The analysis of these interviews revealed various themes organized into four main categories. (1) Blame, social stigma and social humiliation. (2) The lack of social support. (3) Challenges in maternal roles. (4) Disconnecting from friends and neighbors. The findings suggest that women who have overcome addiction are striving to restore both their own identities and their family dynamics to a pre-addiction state, seeking acceptance within the family and managing conflicts that arise during this transition. Supporting the families of women recovering from addiction is essential for both individual and community well-being. Cultivating an environment that promotes these women's active involvement in society can help reduce social harm and curb the rise of corruption and exploitation of vulnerable individuals.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143700639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the association between opium consumption and laryngeal cancer through a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature. Utilizing PRISMA guidelines, we identified and analyzed seven relevant studies conducted primarily in the Middle-East, encompassing a total population of several hundred participants. Our findings reveal a significant correlation between opium use and an increased risk of developing laryngeal cancer, with an odds ratio of 9.13 (95% CI: 5.29-15.77; p < 0.001). The analysis also highlights the potential for opium to act as a more potent carcinogen than tobacco in certain demographics. The mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear but may involve chemical composition, immune suppression, and synergistic effects with tobacco use. Given the rising prevalence of opium addiction, particularly in regions where its use is endemic, our study underscores the urgent need for targeted public health interventions and further research to elucidate the pathways linking opium consumption to laryngeal cancer development.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143710111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We followed the preferred reporting items for systematic review (PRISMA) guidelines. We included quantitative studies that were conducted with immigrant youth between 12 and 35 years and measured cultural values as independent variables and AOD use as dependent variables. All studies were identified via PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Scopus databases. We used a two-step screening process for all records. Thirty studies met the inclusion criteria; 27 were conducted in the United States (U.S.), 1 each in Spain, Italy, and Israel. The findings regarding family cohesion and collectivistic values were mixed in terms of their role in AOD use. However, religious values and cultural practices relating to parenting were protective against AOD use among immigrant youth from Latin/Hispanic, African, and Asian backgrounds. The findings from this systematic review highlight how cultural values and practices of immigrant youth are important in predicting their health risk behavior such as AOD use. Depending on sociodemographic factors, most of these cultural values and practices serve as protective factors against AOD use, even though some might serve as risk factors for AOD use. However, our understanding of cultural values and practices as a risk or protective factor in AOD use is still limited, especially among immigrant youth outside the U.S.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143674059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most studies focused on how the TC program facilitates positive recovery outcomes. Less emphasis was given to ethnically relevant patient dispositions that may influence the TC process from a collectivist context, especially from Asian developing countries like the Philippines. In this study, we tested the TC process experience's (TCPE) path to recovery capital (RC) and psychological well-being (PWB) as mediated by group working alliance (GWA). We also examined if PSUDs' locus-of-hope (LOH), or the person's goal-pursuit disposition involving external co-agencies like peers, family, and spirit, interact with this mechanism. A total of 451 male PSUDs from TC facilities in the Philippines were surveyed, with 406 participants included in the final analysis. Results showed that the participants' TCPE predicted RC and PWB. The direct pathways were mediated by GWA. There were no significant mediation effects among patients with high internal and external-peer LOH. Moreover, there were significant mediation effects among patients with high external-family and external-spirit LOH. The results suggest the contributions of PSUDs' LOH dispositions to the TC mechanism from a collectivist population, thus revealing nuances of the TC model applied in a vulnerable ethnic context.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143468115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was completed in May and June 2024 with a total of 251 women participants. Women who were over 18 years of age, smoked, were literate and volunteered to participate were included in the study.The data were collected online using the Descriptive Information Form, which includes socio-demographic information and smoking characteristics of the participants; the Fagerström Nicotine Dependence Test (FNDT), which measures smoking dependence levels, and the Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS), which assesses anxiety levels. Analyses were performed in SPSS 24.0 software; t test, ANOVA, chi-square and Pearson correlation analyses were used. Among the women, 58.6% were between 26 and 40 years of age, 49.8% were single, and 59.8% were university graduates and above. No significant correlation was found between FNDT and socio-demographic characteristics (p > 0.05), whereas a significant correlation was found between BAS and age, marital status, and income status (p < 0.05). Significant correlations were found between FNDT scores and duration of smoking, age of starting smoking, the reason for starting smoking, and its effect on work life. Significant correlations were found between the effects of smoking on the environment due to being a woman, its effects on social relations, and its effects on social stigmatization and BAS scores (p < 0.05). This study revealed that social stigma related to smoking negatively affects women's mental health and social relationships. Awareness campaigns, accessible psychological support, and gender-sensitive policies are essential to reduce stigma and improve women's quality of life.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143458234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
