Previous work using this method has shown support for the SMH (Gorka, Hedeker, Piasecki, & Mermelstein, 2017; Possemato et al., 2015). Epidemiological samples are further strengthened by using age of onset or longitudinal designs to assess the temporal onset of MD\/AD and SUD. Findings from this study contribute substantially to the broader literature on reducing alcohol-related problems in college student populations. By revealing a critical factor connecting academic stress and alcohol use, this study provides insight as to why college students may be particularly at-risk for alcohol problems and also how interventions could be most effective for fostering resiliency and preventing problem drinking in college. Examine the impact of maladaptive coping style on the association between source of stress (academic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, environmental) and alcohol use (consumption, heavy episodic https:\/\/tetamakine.com\/2020\/10\/27\/can-alcohol-trigger-migraines-and-other-headaches\/<\/a> drinking, driving under the influence) among college students.<\/p>\n

Uncovering Past Trauma<\/h2>\n

Our findings are in line with past work demonstrating that drinking to cope is not reliably predicted by emotional distress 10. Though anxiety did predict the tendency to DTC, stress, loneliness, and depression did not. These findings contradict past theoretical accounts explaining drinking behavior 2,3,4,5,6,7 and suggest that DTC is not triggered primarily by one\u2019s situational context but rather by a dispositional tendency to engage in such behaviors.<\/p>\n

Further, this study assessed alcohol use and academic stress after students had entered college, which makes it difficult to determine whether the rise in academic stress predicted an increase in alcohol use, or vice versa. Prospective studies that assess alcohol use and academic stress before and after the college transition are needed to confirm that a rise in academic stress increases students\u2019 tendencies to adopt and use maladaptive coping strategies. Also, study participants were predominately White females reporting fairly high GPAs, low levels of stressors, and maladaptive coping strategies, suggesting that these findings may not be generalizable to more diverse individuals with higher stressor levels and maladaptive coping strategy use. A study limitation exists regarding our assessment of drinking and driving in that we relied on self-report rather than other, more reliable sources of retrospective information (e.g., DUI records).<\/p>\n
