“Within the family unit, traditional gender role orientations and a patriarchal structure continue to influence both Latino men and women. Acculturation, urbanization, and economics, however, have been changing these values (Booth et al., 1990; Vfizquez & Gonzdlez, 1981; Vdzquez- Nuttal, Romero-Garcia, & DeLeon, 1987). Traditionally, males are expected to be strong and provide for the family (Machismo) while females are expected to be nurturant, self-sacrificing, and submissive to the male Casas et al. (1995) identified machismo as an issue related to substance use. Eisler and Skidmore (1987) identified a high positive relationship between male gender role stress and the propensity to engage in high-risk behaviors, such as consumption drugs and/or alcohol, outbursts of violence against self and others, and promiscuous and unsafe sex.”
