Tim Grigsby (Social & Behavioral Health) co-published an article on "Domains matter: A prospective investigation of traditional female gender roles and alcohol use among Latinas" in the Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse.
Scholars suggest traditional feminine gender roles (TFGRs) influence alcohol use among U.S. Latinas, but relevant literature is limited. This two-wave study examined how multi-dimensional internal (i.e., beliefs) and external (i.e., practices) TFGR processes related to drinking among college-bound Latina emerging adults across time. These findings highlight the utility of assessing multiple TFGR dimensions and domains to better understand the link between TFGRs and drinking among Latinas.
