Background

The

Women’s Study Primary Study of The Latino Minority Drug Abuse Research Program (NIDA R24DA14260, Dr. Mario De La Rosa, PI)Foundation for Ongoing Longitudinal Study - Trajectories of Drug Abuse and HIV Risk among Latina Mother-Daughter Dyads (NINR R01NR012150).

Why

Study Adult Latina Mother-Daughter Drug use & HIV/AIDS risk?

HIV/AIDS & Drug Abuse among Latinas in the U.S.Escalating health disparitiesNationally, the rate of infection among Latina women is nearly four times that of non-Latina White women (CDC, 2010). HIV/AIDS is the 3rd leading cause of death among Latina women in Florida age 25 - 44 years (Florida Department of Health-FDOH, 2011).

Latino

illicit drug use rates have increased steadily since 2002 [Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 2008].Latina adults also experience disparate negative consequences from drug use disorders (Amaro et al., 2006) Intimate partner violenceIncarcerationHomelessnessMedical problems

Slide6

Adult Latinas in the U.S.

A vulnerable & understudied population in the drug abuse and HIV/AIDS prevention fields (Volkow, 2006).Risk & protective processes determining drug use & HIV risk behaviors of adult Latinas remain relatively unknown (Canino, 2004). The Women’s Study Aims to better understand potential risk & protective processes by studying adult Latina mother-daughter dyads

Slide7

What is Attachment?

Attachment

A consistent emotional bond that an individual experiences toward significant others such as family, friends, and other important people in his or her life (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978; Bowlby, 1969/1982, 1973). Secure attachment to parents, friends, and others in adolescents and adults is associated with psychological adjustment, school achievement, and self-esteem (Armsden & Greenberg, 1987; Buhrmester, 1990; Bukowski, Hoza, Boivin, 1993; Hartup, 1996; Nickerson & Nagle, 2004).

Slide8

The Importance of Latina Mother-Daughter Attachment

Latina Mother-Daughter Attachment

Armsden & Greenberg (1987) conceptualized attachment beyond childhood (across all stages of development) to consist of: Mutual trust of othersCommunication with othersCloseness to othersThe Women’s Study was also guided by the Bogenschneider (1996) ecological risk / protective modelA theoretical perspective that emphasizes family relations as the primary context for human development across the lifespan

8

Slide9

Supportive

parent-child relations play a powerful positive role in the lives of Latinos (De La Rosa & White, 2001; Gonzalez Castro et al., 2007). E.g., Healthy family cohesion or familismo is associated with Latina/o adult functioning and wellness across the lifespan (Gil, 1996; Gil & Vega, 1996; Vega, Kolody, & Valle, 1986; Rivera et al., 2008). We expected that mother-daughter attachment would be inversely linked to drug abuse and HIV risk behaviors among Latina mothers and their daughters.

Overview

of Study Methods

and

Sample

Slide11

Data collected from drug abusing and non-abusing mother-daughter dyads in Miami-Dade via interviews from 2002-2005.

Criteria for mothers & daughters to be included into community-based study:consenting to be interviewed for at least 2-3 hours18 years old or olderself-identifying as Latinaliving in Miami-Dade County, Fl.

11

Methods

Slide12

P

articipants recruited via snowball sampling method (chain referral; McCracken et al., 1987)Non-drug abusing Latinas:community health fairs, health clinics, radio announcements on local Spanish-language stations, and advertisements on local television channelsDrug abusing Latinas:substance abuse support groups such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings and by advertising in a local alternative newspaper, FM radio station, and announcements posted at local drug court program

12

Methods

Slide13

All measures were

pilot-tested to ensure cultural and linguistic sensitivity to Latino culture and to womenInterviews were conducted in either Spanish (65%) or English (35%) by trained women interviewers using a structured questionnaireThe interview took 2-3 hours to complete, and took place at locations convenient to participants. 69% at home19% at university’s offices12% other places (work, public places)

13

Methods

Slide14

316 mothers & daughters were interviewed

On average, mothers were 52 years old (range of 33-88), daughters were 28 years old (range of 18-48)Each participant was classified as a non-substance abuser or substance abuser based on the following criteria:Alcohol abuser: at least 4-5 glasses of wine, 3-4 cans/bottles of beer, or 3-4 four-ounce drinks of hard liquor per occasion-during the 12 months prior to assessment (adapted from Naimi et al., 2003)Illicit drug abuser: at least 3 days per week of marijuana use, 2 days per week of cocaine use, one or more occasions of heroin use per week, and/or least 3 ecstasy use occasions per month during the 12 months prior to assessment (adapted from Turner et al., 2001)Abuse of prescribed medication: medicine use without a doctor’s authorization, in larger amounts than prescribed, or for longer periods than prescribed, in the 12 months prior to assessment (adapted from Turner et al., 2001)

14

Methods

Slide15

Mothers & daughters were classified into 4 types of dyads

Dyad 1: mother-daughter both drug or alcohol abusers (n=40)Dyad 2: mother-abuser and daughter–non-abuser (n=19)Dyad 3: mother-non-abuser and daughter-abuser (n=51)Dyad 4: mother-daughter both non-abusers (n=48)Total Dyads = 158

Demographics and Drug Abuse

Findings suggest

that age and nativity (acculturation) are related to adult Latina drug abuse.Additional age related findingOn average, the younger a drug abusing mother started using illicit drugs (M = 26.5 years), the younger her daughter reported starting using illicit drugs (M = 18.4 years).

Mother-Daughter Attachment & Drug Abuse

(De La Rosa et al., 2010)

Slide27

Mother-Daughter Attachment & Drug Abuse

(De La Rosa et al., 2010)

IMPLICATIONS

:

Mother-daughter attachment & drug abuse findings emphasize

the need for mother-daughter-based

prevention/treatment

efforts; especially with drug abusing mothers, to reduce

potential intergenerational transmission of drug use disorders among Latina

women

.

Slide28

Mother-Daughter Attachment & HIV Risk Behaviors

(De La Rosa et al., 2010)

Sex Under the Influence (SUI)61% of daughters engaged in SUI of alcohol during past year28% reported engaged in SUI of illicit drugs during past year

28

Slide29

Sex under the Influence of Illicit Drugs (SUI-D)

Drug abusing daughters with a drug abusing mother (dyad 1) reported more SUI-D.Daughters who reported less attachment reported more SUI-D.

(De La Rosa et al., 2010)

Slide30

Sex under the Influence of Alcohol (SUI-A)

Younger daughters reported more SUI-A.Unmarried daughters (81%) reported more SUI-A. Non-abusing daughters with non-abusing mothers (Dyad 4) reported less sex under the influence of alcohol than all other dyads.

30

Mother-Daughter Attachment & HIV Risk Behaviors

(De La Rosa et al., 2010)

Slide31

IMPLICATIONS

: Attachment and SUI findings emphasize the need for mother-daughter-based prevention/treatment efforts; especially with drug abusing mothers, to reduce HIV risk behaviors among young Latina women.

Slide32

Age of Sexual Debut (Dillon et al., 2010; Rojas et al., 2010)

Averages among Daughters:

Vaginal Sex = 16 yearsOral Sex = 17 yearsAnal Sex = 22 yearsDaughters reported younger ages of sexual debut when theyspent more time in the U.S. (M= 65% of life) experienced maternal drug abuse during development.The younger daughters started having sex, the more likely they reported Future drug abuse and HIV risk behaviors (greater number of sexual partners, sex under the influence) as adults.IMPLICATIONS: These findings inform HIV/AIDS and drug abuse clinical services with Latina population in Miami-Dade County.

32

Slide33

Condom Use Among Latinas

133 women engaged in vaginal sex and were told about HIV by their healthcare providers.

75% of the participants used condoms sometimesReasons they did not use condoms in instances:Wanted pregnancyCondoms were not availableThey were in a monogamous relationship and trusted partners.Reasons women used condoms in instances:They were with a new partnerTo prevent STDs and HIVBecause they were available

Condom Use Among Latinas

Slide36

Implications:

Latinas associate condoms with distrust in a relationship or partner.Latinas believe that being in a monogamous relationship means that they are not at risk of acquiring HIV or other STIs.Married or women with a main partner were less likely to use condoms.
