We tested the indirect effects of acculturation stress on insomnia through rumination and alcohol use, two coping strategies associated with insomnia, and explored these effects in gender-stratified models among Latinxs.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>We analyzed cross-sectional data from 187 Latinxs participating in the Latino Sleep and Health study in New York City in 2016-2019. We conducted bias-corrected boot-strap tests of mediation with case resampling (1,000 replications) in aggregate and gender-stratified models. Acculturation stress and insomnia were measured continuously using the Hispanic Stress Inventory and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).

The indirect effect of acculturation stress on insomnia through rumination was statistically significant (<i>b</i> = 0.02, 95% BCa CI [0.01, 0.03]).
