College student alcohol consumption is a major public health concern. Hispanic students have unique predictors of alcohol use due to different cultural environments. A scoping review of Hispanic college student drinking was conducted. Articles that met inclusion criteria (N=56) were synthesized with respect to unique predictors (e.g., acculturation, family, peer) and sex/ethnic differences. The review clarified drinking patterns that are unique to Hispanic students. Results will help inform future research and culturally tailored drinking interventions.
