While several studies have examined how class time and internship responsibilities impact demand for alcohol in undergraduate samples, no study has examined this question using more universally applicable responsibilities with a sample of community adults. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the impact of a range of next-day responsibilities on demand for alcohol among a crowdsourced sample of community adults using a hypothetical alcohol purchase task (APT). Community adults ( = 261; 79% White; 60% identified as men; 39% identified as women; and 1% identified as nonbinary) with a mean age of 38.42 recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk rank-ordered eight hypothetical next-day responsibilities across three categories (i.e., work, caregiving, and recreational). Participants first completed a standard APT with no explicit next-day responsibilities, followed by purchase tasks in the context of their two highest ranked responsibilities. All participants needed to pass several stages of attention and data quality checks to be included in the final sample. All observed demand indices (i.e., intensity, breakpoint, , and ) were significantly higher in the no responsibilities condition compared to both the first- and second-ranked responsibility condition (s < .001); however, there was no significant difference in any demand index between the first- and second-ranked responsibility ( range .65-.91). These results extend prior work by demonstrating engagement with substance-free alternatives may reduce demand for alcohol among community adults.

虽然有几项研究考察了课堂时间和实习职责如何影响本科生群体对酒精的需求，但没有一项研究使用更普遍适用的职责和社区成年人样本来检验这个问题。因此，本研究的目的是使用假设性酒精购买任务（APT），检验一系列次日职责对社区成年人样本中对酒精的需求的影响。使用亚马逊 Mechanical Turk 招募了具有平均年龄 38.42 岁的社区成年人（=261；79%为白人；60%为男性；39%为女性；1%为非二元性别），他们按工作、照顾和娱乐三个类别对八种假设次日职责进行排序。参与者首先在没有明确次日职责的情况下完成标准 APT，然后在他们排名前两位的职责背景下完成购买任务。所有参与者都需要通过几个注意力和数据质量检查阶段才能被纳入最终样本。在没有责任的情况下，所有观察到的需求指数（即强度、断点、 、 ）都明显高于没有责任和第一和第二高排名责任条件（s<.001）；然而，在任何需求指数之间都没有显著差异第一和第二高排名责任（范围.65-.91）。这些结果通过证明与无物质替代品的参与可能会降低社区成年人对酒精的需求，扩展了先前的工作。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
