| description | Introduction Latinx individuals are disproportionately affected by alcohol use disorder (AUD). Understanding Latinx individuals’ barriers and facilitators to reach AUD-related goals can help implement culturally and linguistically concordant interventions to improve alcohol-related outcomes.Methods We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with Latinx, Spanish-speaking men with AUD within 20 weeks of hospital discharge who were seen by an addiction consult team during hospitalization in an urban, safety-net hospital in San Francisco. Interviews focused on the facilitators and barriers to participants’ AUD-related goals pre-, during, and post-hospitalization. We recorded and transcribed interviews and used a mixed deductive and inductive analytic approach until we reached thematic saturation (n = 10).Results We identified three major themes: 1. Hospitalization was an actionable moment for change; 2. Social factors were closely intertwined with AUD goals; and 3. Accessible addiction, physical health, and mental health services can help achieve AUD goals.Conclusions Hospitalization may serve as a facilitator for Latinx individuals with AUD to achieve AUD goals. Addressing social determinants of health including housing, immigration status, and social support networks before, during, and after hospitalization, may help facilitate AUD goals. Providing language-concordant and accessible services may decrease barriers to achieving AUD goals. |
