S. National Alcohol Surveys (n = 830) and the 1998 Mexico National Household Survey on Addictions (n = 3313). Among drinkers, comorbidity was significantly more prevalent among Mexican Americans than among Mexicans and was positively associated with level of acculturation among Mexican Americans. Although data may not be generalizable, they are important for a better understanding of cultural influences on the development of comorbid substance abuse* conditions among Mexicans immigrating to the United States and their substance abuse treatment needs.engacceso cerradoarticle11Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz1685-1703Londres42Alcohol use disorderDrug useComorbidityMexican-AmericansMexicansTrastorno por consumo de alcoholUso de drogasComorbilidadMexico-americanosMexicanosUnited States HispanicsPsychiatric disordersSubstance useInternational consortiumLifetime prevalenceEmergency room patientsGeneral populationDrinking patternsMental disordersLos Angeles
