本研究首次在大学一年级女生（N = 128）中考察了心理和社会健康状况在用于减少高风险饮酒（例如，酒精和非酒精饮料交替或避免饮酒游戏）的保护性行为策略与酒精结果（饮酒变量和酒精相关的负面后果）之间的关系中的调节作用。研究结果显示，在心理健康状况较差的参与者中，与心理健康状况较高的参与者相比，保护性行为在减少酒精消费和相关风险方面特别有效。此外，使用保护行为的社交健康水平较高的参与者每次的最大饮酒量明显低于同样使用保护行为但社交健康水平较低的同龄人。对研究结果的解释和对校园干预举措的影响进行了讨论。
The present study is the first to examine the moderating effects of mental and social health status in the relationship between Protective behavioral strategies utilized to reduce high-risk drinking (e.g., alternating alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks or avoiding drinking games) and alcohol outcomes (drinking variables and alcohol-related negative consequences) among first-year college females (N = 128). Findings revealed that protective behaviors were particularly effective in reducing both alcohol consumption and related risks among participants reporting lower mental health as compared to higher mental health. Further, participants with higher social health who utilized protective behaviors consumed significantly fewer maximum drinks per occasion than did peers who also employed protective behaviors but reported lower social health. Explanation of findings and implications for campus intervention initiatives are discussed.
