Abstract

This study explores stigma-related beliefs within the Latino community concerning alcohol misuse. A community-based convenience sample of 251 self-identified Latino adults were recruited to participate in a research study using an experimental vignette methodology. Participants were randomly assigned one of four vignettes about alcohol misuse and asked to share their attitudes and stigma-related beliefs about the problem and the person in the vignette. Sociodemographic characteristics of participants differentially predicted alcohol-related stigma. These data may be used to inform health literacy and stigma reduction interventions within the Latino community.
