Examining Couple Functioning and Alcohol use Among Latino Couples: A Dyadic Data Analysis.

Background: Prior research suggests that Latinos are at higher risk of alcohol use as compared to their counterparts (NSDUH, 2014). However, little work has been conducted to understand alcohol use among Latinos systemically and more research is needed to better understand the impact of couple functioning on alcohol use among Latino couples.

Objectives: The current study aimed to examine how each partner's perception of couple functioning impacted alcohol use in Latino dyads.
