A motivational drinking framework is utilized to understand the relationship between minority stressors (e.g., race-related stress and acculturative stress) and alcohol use behaviors (risky alcohol use and coping-motivated drinking) among a large sample of Black American college students. Six hundred forty-nine Black college students from 8 colleges and universities in the United States were recruited as part of a large, multiwave, cross-sectional study investigating the stress and coping experiences of Black emerging adults. Results from the current investigation provide support for the independent contributions of acculturative stress and race-related stress to the risky alcohol use behavior of Black college students, while acculturative stress significantly predicted coping-motivated drinking behaviors in the sample. Findings underscore the need to better understand the unique relationships between minority stress and risky alcohol use behaviors of Black college students, namely, relationships not shared by their nonminority peers that increase their risk of problem drinking.
一个动机性饮酒框架被用于理解在美国大量黑人大学生样本中，少数群体压力源（如与种族相关的压力和文化适应压力）与酒精使用行为（危险饮酒和应对动机性饮酒）之间的关系。作为一项调查黑人新兴成年人压力与应对经历的大型多波横断面研究的一部分，招募了来自美国8所学院和大学的649名黑人大学生。当前调查结果支持文化适应压力和与种族相关的压力对黑人大学生危险饮酒行为的独立影响，同时文化适应压力显著预测了样本中的应对动机性饮酒行为。研究结果强调需要更好地理解少数群体压力与黑人大学生危险饮酒行为之间的独特关系，即他们的非少数群体同龄人不存在的、会增加其饮酒问题风险的关系。
