Disparities in Alcohol‐Related Problems Among White, Black, and Hispanic Americans

Alcoholism Clinical and Experimental Research · 2009 · Vol. 33(4) · pp. 654–662

Abstract

These findings suggest that to eliminate racial/ethnic disparities in alcohol-related problems, public health efforts must do more than reduce heavy drinking. Future research should address the possibility of drink size underestimation, identify the particular types of problems that disproportionately affect racial/ethnic minorities, and investigate social and cultural determinants of such problems.
