TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Children exposed to alcohol-related problems and DSM-5 alcohol use disorder in San Juan, Puerto Rico JO - Journal of ethnicity in substance abuse A1 - Caetano, Raul A1 - Vaeth, Patrice A. C. A1 - Canino, Glorisa SP - 374 EP - 386 VL - 18 IS - 3 N2 - This article estimates the proportion of children (17 and younger) exposed to an adult with an alcohol problem or alcohol use disorder (AUD) in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Data are from a household random sample of 1,510 individuals 18-64 years of age. A total of 20.9% of children in sample households were exposed to an adult with an alcohol problem, and 5.7% were exposed to an adult with DSM-5 AUD. These considerable proportions suggest that alcohol treatment and family support programs should include help for adults in the family, and special support for exposed children in the household.
