Abstract	This document reviews the literature on the following: (1) studies on the nature of the Hispanic family; (2) studies on the prevalence of Hispanic alcohol use and abuse; (3) general impact studies on the consequences for children of family alcoholism; and (4) studies of family factors that appear to protect or shield high risk children from the adverse effects of parental drinking. A case study of a Puerto Rican child of an alcoholic family is presented. Although the high rate of abusive drinking that has been reported for Hispanics prompts concern for the effects on Hispanic children, it is likely that some types of Hispanic families are more likely to suffer from alcohol problems than are others. Even among alcoholic Hispanic families, particular interaction and ritual patterns may serve to at least partially protect children from a long list of psycho-social problems disproportionately associated with being the child of an alcoholic. This is an area in need of research and research-based, culturally appropriate intervention and prevention. A list of 30 references is included. (BJV)
