Combat-Acquired Traumatic Brain Injury, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Their Relative Associations With Postdeployment Binge Drinking

Abstract: Objective To examine whether experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) on a recent combat deployment was associated with postdeployment binge drinking, independent of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods Using the 2008 Department of Defense Survey of Health Related Behaviors among Active Duty Military Personnel, an anonymous survey completed by 28,546 personnel, the study sample included 6,824 personnel who had a combat deployment in the past year. Path analysis was used to examine whether PTSD ac… Show more

“…Separate lines of research have documented associations between PTSD and alcohol problems, sleep and alcohol problems, and PTSD and sleep. In cross‐sectional models, PTSD symptoms are associated with more frequent binge drinking (Adams et al., ; Calhoun et al., ) and problems such as passing out or taking foolish risks as a result of drinking (Fuehrlein et al., ). Similarly, at the daily level, daytime PTSD symptoms are associated with greater alcohol consumption and more alcohol‐related problems (e.g., fighting) that night (Gaher et al., ; Langdon et al., ).…”

“…7 Prevalence of binge drinking is higher when assessed on DoD anonymous surveys, with 54% of active duty members returning from a combat deployment in 2007-2008 reporting binge drinking. 8 Binge drinking is associated with negative drinking-related consequences among military members, including drinking-related injuries and job-performance problems. [9][10][11][12] Female members represent approximately 10% of OEF/OIF deployments.…”

“…3,14 Understanding deployment-related risk factors for postdeployment binge drinking is important for targeted prevention strategies. Studies suggest that experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) while deployed increases the risk for post-deployment frequent (at least monthly) binge drinking, 8,15 alcohol misuse, 16 and negative drinking-related consequences. 9 It is well-established that a TBI of sufficient force will damage the frontal lobes, ventral medial prefrontal cortex, and orbital frontal cortex regardless of the location of head impact.…”
