“…Recently, Cabrera Tineo et al explored DAS, depressive symptoms, and alcohol use among recently immigrated Latina young adults. Their findings demonstrated higher acculturation is associated with increased alcohol consumption and mental health covariates, including depression (Cabrera Tineo et al, 2020). Acculturation is also associated with length of stay in the U.S. such that, “women reporting more time in the USA experienced higher levels of DAS.…”

“…Acculturation is also associated with length of stay in the U.S. such that, “women reporting more time in the USA experienced higher levels of DAS. […] Women reporting more DAS indicated more depressive symptoms and alcohol use than counterparts reporting less DAS” (Cabrera Tineo et al, 2020). Acculturation, exemplified by the longer length of stay and younger age of migration, has been associated with a higher likelihood of cannabis use among young Russian migrants in Finland whereas Kurdish and Somali migrants reported lower lifetime cannabis use than the general population (Salama et al, 2018).…”

Purpose To summarize recent evidence of the relationship between acculturation and substance use addiction among foreign‐born persons living in the United States (U.S.) and abroad. Recent findings Foreign‐born populations are increasing in many countries as a result of immigration and global refugee displacement. Acculturation and discrimination toward both populations have been related to the initiation of illicit substance use. The “immigrant paradox” may serve as a protective factor against the initiation and worsening prognosis of substance use disorders. Improving multilingual accessibility and frequency of use of clinical screeners may enhance addiction risk factor identification and potential interventions for foreign‐born populations living in countries of emigration, such as the U.S. Summary Foreign‐born persons compose a significant proportion of nurse–patient interactions in the U.S. and abroad. The unique sociological phenomenon of the immigrant paradox may serve as a protective factor for foreign‐born persons despite the increased risk for adverse childhood events, acculturation, and discrimination. Due to conflicting evidence, future studies should examine longitudinal outcomes of substance use exclusively among foreign‐born persons as well as protective and risk factors associated with immigrants and refugees, respectively. Clinical relevance Foreign‐born persons may experience unique risk factors associated with addiction. Future studies should focus on foreign‐born populations to explore if social constructs surrounding addiction can be extrapolated into other populations, including their second‐generation offspring. Differences surrounding migration contexts between immigrants and refugees may be important for clinical researchers to understand when designing research studies centered on these experiences. Nurses can play a significant role in identifying patients at risk for substance use by advocating for inclusive and comprehensive multilingual screeners.
