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.
与非裔美国大学生相比，非西班牙裔白人大学生往往饮酒量更大，且经历更多负面后果。然而，尚未对保护性行为策略的种族差异进行研究。本研究考察了种族和性别是否调节了保护性行为策略与饮酒量及与酒精相关的负面后果之间的关联。总体而言，与非裔美国学生相比，非西班牙裔白人学生使用保护性行为策略与饮酒量、有害饮酒及负面后果的更大降幅相关，这表明在保护性策略的使用方面存在重要的种族差异。文中还提供了研究和临床意义。
