The current study evaluated the linkage between posttraumatic stress symptoms and alcohol use motives among 49 traumatic event-exposed adolescents (M(age)=16.39 years). It was hypothesized that posttraumatic stress symptom levels would be positively associated with coping-related drinking motives specifically (cf., social, enhancement, or conformity motives) and that coping-related drinking motives would evidence associations with the hyperarousal and reexperiencing posttraumatic stress symptom types. Findings were consistent with hypotheses, suggesting traumatic event-exposed adolescents may be using alcohol to manage posttraumatic stress symptoms.
本研究评估了 49 名创伤后应激症状和酒精使用动机之间的联系在创伤事件暴露的青少年（M（年龄）=16.39 岁）中。研究假设创伤后应激症状水平与应对相关的饮酒动机（具体来说，是社交、增强或从众动机）呈正相关，而应对相关的饮酒动机与过度警觉和再体验创伤后应激症状类型有关。研究结果与假设一致，表明创伤后应激症状暴露的青少年可能正在使用酒精来应对创伤后应激症状。
