Abstract

This study delves into the prevalence, patterns, and associated factors of alcohol use among children in Hispanic communities within the United States. Recognizing the significance of cultural nuances and social determinants, the research examines the unique challenges faced by Hispanic youth in navigating alcohol consumption. By employing a multidimensional approach, encompassing sociodemographic, cultural, and environmental perspectives, the study aims to shed light on the complex interplay of factors influencing alcohol use among Hispanic children. Insights derived from this research are crucial for the development of targeted prevention strategies and culturally sensitive interventions to address this pressing public health concern.
