title = "The impact of acculturation and acculturative stress on alcohol use across Asian immigrant subgroups",
abstract = "Acculturation and acculturative stress are examined as predictors of alcohol use among Asian immigrants, using the 2004 National Latino and Asian Americans Survey (NLAAS). Separate regression analyses were conducted for Chinese (n = 600), Filipino (n = 508), and Vietnamese (n = 520) immigrants. Alcohol use varied for the three groups. English proficiency was associated with drinking for all groups. Family conflict was associated with drinking for Chinese immigrants. General acculturative stress and discrimination were associated with drinking for Vietnamese immigrants. Results underscore acculturation and acculturative stress as being contributors to alcohol consumption, and the importance of considering the heterogeneity of Asian immigrants in research on their alcohol use. The study's limitations are noted.",

note = "Funding Information: Duy Nguyen, MSW, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor at the Silver School of Social Work at New York University, New York, USA. He is a Hartford Faculty Scholar, a program funded by the John A. Hartford Foundation and administered by the Gerontological Society of America. His grant-funded research to date reveals how socio-cultural factors, especially differences among Asian ethnic groups and the aging process, affect health and mental health service use. Currently, he is working on two community-based research projects. With funding from the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the NYU Langone Medical Center (1UL1RR029893), he and interdisciplinary research partners are translating and adapting the evidence-based Family Care program for delivery with Korean American cancer caregivers. Another project is funded by the Okura Mental Health Foundation and the Silver School of Social Work and uses mixed methods to understand the community, organizational, and individual influences on service use by Asians living in poverty-impacted urban areas.",
