  • Title: Protective behavioral strategies, alcohol consumption, and negative alcohol-related consequences: do race and gender moderate these associations?
    Author: Madson MB, Zeigler-Hill V.
    Journal: J Ethn Subst Abuse; 2013; 12(3):242-58. PubMed ID: 23967885.
    Abstract:
    White, non-Hispanic college students tend to drink more alcohol and experience more negative consequences than African American college students. However, racial differences have not been examined for protective behavioral strategies. This study examined whether race and gender moderated the associations that protective behavioral strategies had with alcohol consumption and negative alcohol-related consequences. In general, the use of protective behavioral strategies were associated with greater deceases in consumption, harmful drinking, and negative consequences for White, non-Hispanic students than African American students, which suggests important racial differences related to protective strategy use. Research and clinical implications are provided.
