“Hispanic youth ages 12 to 20 often saw and heard more alcohol advertising per capita during 2003 and 2004 than young people in their age group in general, according to a new report released today from the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) at Georgetown University.

The report finds that Hispanic 12- to 20-year-olds in the United States saw 20 percent more alcohol advertising per capita in English-language magazines in 2004 than did all young people in this age group.

CAMY’s report, which covers both 2003 and 2004, also looked at alcohol advertising on English- and Spanish-language radio stations and on the English- and Spanish-language television programming most popular among Hispanic youth during those years. CAMY is funded by grants from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to Georgetown University.”
