Exploring the intersection of race, stress, and alcohol use among individuals in treatment

A substantive literature links stress and anxiety to poor health outcomes including drinking behavior, among adults seeking treatment for substance use disorders. However, measures of ongoing stress and anxiety are often unrelated to alcohol-use variables. Recently, we identified race as a modulator of use patterns among treatment-seekers. Here, we extend that work to examine the relationships between stress/anxiety and use variables by race among individuals seeking treatment for an alcohol use disorder.
