Description
Caroline Ng Tseung-Wong, Justine Dandy, and Amanda George study hazardous drinking among migrant background youth in Australia in a 2026 paper. Young migrants may drink for acculturation reasons, such as fitting into the host culture or coping with family and community expectations. Those motives are rarely measured directly.
An online survey drew hundreds of participants aged eighteen to twenty five, and analysis focused on those who had tried alcohol. Drinking groups were split by whether their background culture drank similarly to Australia. Beyond coping and enhancement motives, drinking to fit in predicted hazardous use, highlighting acculturation motives.
