Predictors of changes in daily alcohol consumption in the aftermath of military deployment

Highlights • Aim: prediction of courses in alcohol use following military deployment. • Several distal and proximal factors are related to increased alcohol use. • Low post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity and few adverse childhood experience predict decreased alcohol use. • There a...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Aim: prediction of courses in alcohol use following military deployment. • Several distal and proximal factors are related to increased alcohol use. • Low post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity and few adverse childhood experience predict decreased alcohol use. • There are differential predictors and correlates of decreased and increased alcohol use. • Findings could stimulate research on mechanisms underlying trajectories of alcohol use following stressful experiences.
