Randomized Controlled Trial Demonstrates Efficacy of a Culturally Adapted Behavioral Intervention Delivered in Spanish by Community Health Workers to Reduce Unhealthy Alcohol Use Among Latino/as: Jour... Objective: Latino/as comprise nearly 20% of the US population; 25% report past month binge drinking, and disparities in care persist. Culturally adapted interventions may improve outcomes and access. ...

doi.org/10.15288/jsa... To our knowledge, this is the first study to use this combination of components and positively impact unhealthy alcohol use in a Latino population. We hope this gets us one step closer to reduce unhealthy alcohol use and reduce alcohol-related health disparities in Latinos.
