CSAT

Host: Ivette Torres, Associate Director for Consumer Affairs, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

En 2005, entre las personas de 12 o más años, la tasa de la dependencia o abuso de sustancias entre hispanos fue el 9.3 por ciento, mientras la tasa del excesivo uso de alcohol entre hispanos fue el 23.7 por ciento. Los inmigrantes latinoamericanos y sus familias encaran numerosos retos en el proceso de integración y asimilación en la sociedad norteamericana, que puede contribuir a desórdenes de uso de sustancia. Aparte de los desafíos obvios tales como venciendo las barreras del idioma, asegurando empleos significativos, y manteniendo a sus familias, una gran variedad de diferencias culturales encontradas puede ser bastante estresante y llevar a muchas personas potencialmente a un vicio de alcohol y/o drogas. Este programa examinará, en español, los asuntos que rodean el abuso del alcohol y la dependencia en específico de la comunidad latina en los Estados Unidos, así como proporcionará los recursos donde encontrar la ayuda necesaria.

English Translation:
In 2005, the rate of substance dependence or abuse among Hispanic persons aged 12 and older was 9.3 percent, while the rate of binge alcohol use among Hispanics was 23.7 percent. Latin American immigrants and their families face a number of challenges as they enter and assimilate into North American society, which may contribute to substance use disorders. Aside from obvious challenges such as overcoming language barriers, securing meaningful employment, and providing for their families, a wide range of encountered cultural differences can be quite stressful and can potentially lead to an addiction to alcohol and/or drugs. This program will examine, in Spanish, issues surrounding alcohol abuse and dependence specific to the Latino community in the United States, and it will provide resources on where help and assistance can be found.
