“…These family attributes include strong family management and supervision (Szapocznik & Kurtines, 1989;Szapocnznik et al, 1991;Watts & Wright, 1990); consistent parenting practices (Farrington, 1978); harmonious family relationships (Santisteban et al, 1993); living in a home with both parents and preferably extended family as well (De La Rosa, 1998;Valle and Bensussen, 1985); absence of parental substance use and negative parental attitudes toward use (Keil, 1993;Long, 1990;Maddux & Desmond, 1981;Moore, 1990); and living in a culturally traditional home (Cervantes and Pena, 1998). These findings have been shown to be valid for Hispanic youth whose family origins are Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Central American, and South America (Booth, Castrro, & Anglin, 1990;Fitzpatrick, 1990;Page, 1990;De La Rosa, 1988;Rio et al, 1993).…”

Research regarding prevention strategies for Hispanic youth stress the importance of family interventions because of the particular importance of family as a protective factor within the Hispanic community. Starting in 1995, the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention conducted the National Cross-Site Evaluation of High Risk Youth Programs, a 5-year drug and alcohol prevention study with a sample of approximately 10,500 youth, including nearly 3,000 Hispanic youth. Youth were surveyed regarding their alcohol use patterns and risk and protective factors, with several measures of family relationships, including family connectedness, family supervision, and parental attitudes toward their child's alcohol use. Analyses indicate that family factors are highly linked to alcohol use among Hispanics, particularly among Hispanic females. Longitudinal growth curve analyses indicate that improving the connections that young Hispanic females have to their parents can have positive long-term effects on delaying or reducing their alcohol use.

“…In this sense, men usually have greater financial opportunities to offer in exchange for marriage than women (Becker 1973;Kalmijn 1998;Merton 1941). Empirical support for this underlying mechanism includes evidence that most of the exogamous marriages of Mexican-American women in Los Angeles in the 1960s were to high-status men (Mittelbach and Moore 1968) and similar results were found in New York among Puerto Rican women in the 1950s (Fitzpatrick 1966). Studies also found that a shortage of suitable men leads many women to stay unmarried rather than marry economically "unattractive" men (Crowder and Tolnay 2000;Lichter, Anderson, and Hayward 1995).…”

“…While limited evidence exists to indicate that outmarriage has direct economic consequences, some ( Fitzpatrick, 1966) have noted the possibility of its being linked to socioeconomic mobility. Individuals may be motivated to marry better-off spouses or they may intermarry because they are situated in a context that is more diverse socioeconomically.…”

"Utilizing data from a 1981 survey of Dominican and Colombian immigrants to New York City, and from 1975 marriage certificates for the entire city, this article describes the extent of family formation in the U.S. and patterns of marital selectivity of recent Hispanic immigrants residing in New York City. A core goal of the analysis is the provision of indicators of the extent of and nature of integration processes at an early stage of the immigration." It is found first that "Hispanic immigrants in New York City are clearly long-term settlers, although not necessarily permanent ones. They are forming nuclear families in this country to a considerably greater extent than they are either transferring families from the origin country or residing as unattached temporary migrants. Second, a significant minority of marriages contracted in this country are with spouses of different national origin groups, indicating an openness in ethnic boundaries in the host society context."
