Abstract
The Latino population is rapidly expanding, and it is estimated that nearly one quarter of the population will be Latino in the U.S. by 2050. Literature suggests that Latino students face increased acculturative stress, which is associated with poor psychological and behavioral functioning and health outcomes including substance abuse.
