Winter T, et al. - Researchers examined if experiencing racial discrimination is positively associated with hazardous alcohol use among New Zealand Māori and if in this group, racial discrimination mediates hazardous alcohol use. In this cross-sectional mediation analysis, they included data from 10,155 participants who were identified as New Zealand European (7,493; 56.9% female) or Māori (2,662; 60.5% female) in the 2016/17 New Zealand Health Survey. Observations revealed a higher likelihood of Māori for experiencing discrimination vs New Zealand Europeans. Elevated levels of hazardous alcohol use were noted in correlation to both Māori identification and experiencing discrimination. Experience of discrimination seems partially mediating the association between Māori ethnicity and hazardous drinking.
