Latina daughters were sampled from four mother-daughter dyad types: substanceabusingmotheranddaughter,substanceabusing mother only, substance abusing daughter only, and nonsubstance-abusing mother and daughter. Substance abusing daughters with substance abusing mothers, and daughters who were less strongly attached to their mothers, reported more sex under theinfluenceofdrugs. Age,marital status, substance abuse, and mother's substance abuse all influenced the daughter'ssexundertheinfluenceofalcohol.Anunexpectedpositive association between attachment and sex under the influence of alcohol was found for daughters who were more closely attached to a substance abusing mother. Implications for future research, and HIV/AIDS and drug prevention and treatment programs for Latinas are discussed.
