Alcohol Services for Mexican Americans: A Review of Utilization Patterns, Treatment Considerations and Prevention Activities

M. Jean Gilbert

Richard C. Cervantes

University of California Los Angeles

There currently exists an information gap between researchers and providers of services aimed at the Mexican American alcoholic population. While epidemiologic-based information has surfaced, providing more detailed information on high-risk segments of the Mexican American population, currently little is known with respect to the forms of alcohol treatment most relevant and effective in alleviating abuse and dependency in this ethnic group. The intent of this review was to provide a bridge in information by synthesizing the available literature which addresses: (a) utilization patterns of alcohol-related services by Mexican Americans; (b) existing therapeutic approaches which take into account cultural factors, and; (c) existing approaches to alcohol abuse education and prevention for this population. Finally, recomnmendations for future alcohol service research aimed at the Mexican American population are suggested.
