“…Moreover, alcohol consumption frequency scores did not differ between groups with or without experiences of negative consequences of alcohol use, or expectations of positive outcomes from alcohol use. This result lends support to previous findings that intoxication, rather than drinking frequency per se, is a risk factor for adverse consequences of alcohol use (Kuntsche et al., ; Prince et al., ). Endeavors to evaluate prevention and treatment efficacy may be better served using cutoffs relating to alcohol‐related consequences.…”

Protective Strategies Study Team †Background: College students with more social anxiety symptoms are particularly vulnerable to problematic alcohol and marijuana use given their susceptibility for elevated anxiety symptoms in social settings combined with the normative nature of substance use. Existing research has established substance use as coping motivated for these students when examining alcohol and marijuana use problems separately. The next step is to determine whether students with more social anxiety who use both substances do so for similar or different reasons. The current study tested a comprehensive (i.e., all variables in the same model) motivational model of alcohol/marijuana use in a sample of college students from 10 universities across the United States who endorsed both past-month alcohol and marijuana use.Methods: College students were recruited through psychology department participant pools and completed an online survey assessing mental health symptoms, substance use motives, and substances use behaviors. Current sample comprised concurrent alcohol/marijuana users (n = 2,034), 29.6% of whom endorsed clinically indicated levels of social anxiety and nearly one-fourth exceeded the cutoff for hazardous drinking (23.2%) and hazardous marijuana use (21.9%).Results: Across both substances, coping motives significantly mediated the positive relationship between social anxiety symptoms and substance use problems. Unique to alcohol, conformity motives mediated the association between social anxiety symptoms and alcohol-related problems.Conclusions: Taken together, students with more social anxiety who are focused on anxiety management may use either alcohol or marijuana; however, these students may experience more alcohol-related problems when drinking to fit in with peers.

“…The included studies on specific alcohol‐related harms largely focused on unprotected sex, drink driving and assault. Studying the links between these harms and occasion characteristics is important, as alcohol consumption alone does not explain alcohol‐related harm . For example, drink driving is more likely after heavy drinking occasions in on‐trade than in off‐trade venues .…”

“…Acute health conditions, such as injuries from violence and road traffic accidents, account for a large proportion of this burden; for example, they account for an estimated 54% of alcohol‐related deaths and 65% of years of life lost in the United States . Recent evidence suggests that both consumption levels and acute harmful outcomes are directly linked to the context of drinking occasions . There is less focus on the relationship between occasion characteristics and chronic harms, as these are more related to long‐term consumption patterns.…”

Contextual characteristics of adults’ drinking occasions and their association with levels of alcohol consumption and acute alcohol‐related harm: a mapping review

2019

Background and AimsThere is a growing literature using event-level methods to estimate associations between contextual characteristics of drinking occasions, consumption levels and acute harms. This literature spans many research traditions and has not been brought together as a whole. This mapping review aimed to identify and describe the theoretical approaches to conceptualizing drinking occasions, study designs, predictors and outcome measures used in existing research with a view to identifying dominant approaches, research gaps and areas for further synthesis.Methods Eligible papers studied adults' drinking occasions using quantitative event-level methods and considered one or more contextual characteristics (e.g. venue, timing or company) and at least one event-level c onsumption or acute alcohol-related harm outcome. We systematically searched Ovid MEDLINE, PsycInfo and the Web of Science Social Sciences Citation Index, extracting data on studies' theoretical approach, data collection methods, settings, populations, drinking occasion characteristics and outcome measures. Results Searches identified 278 eligible papers (from 1975 to 2019), predominantly published after 2010 (n = 181; 65.1%). Most papers reported research conducted in the United States (n = 170; 61.2%) and half used student participants (n = 133; 47.8%). Papers typically lacked a stated theoretical approach (n = 203; 73.0%). Consistent with this, only 53 (19.1%) papers studied three or more occasion characteristics and most used methods that assume occasion characteristics do not change during an occasion (n = 189; 68.0%). The most common outcome type considered was consumption (n = 224; 80.6%) and only a few papers studied specific acute harm outcomes such as unprotected sex (n = 24; 8.6%), drink driving (n = 14; 5.0%) or sexual violence (n = 9; 3.2%). Conclusions Studies from 1975 to 2019 using event-level methods to estimate associations between contextual characteristics of drinking occasions, consumption levels and acute harms were largely focused on students and consumption outcomes, and most have considered a limited range of contextual characteristics.

A quantification of the alcohol use‐consequences association in college student and clinical populations: A large, multi‐sample study

Abstract: Experiencing alcohol-related consequences results from factors that extend beyond frequency and quantity of alcohol consumed suggesting a need to examine other predictors of alcohol-related consequences beyond alcohol use. (Am J Addict 2018;27:116-123).
