“…These results are consistent with longitudinal studies that have found positive relationships between the use of PBS and alcohol outcomes (Lewis et al, 2012;Pearson et al, 2013). It may be that students using more PBS while drinking are actually those who drink more and who use PBS while drinking in high-risk settings (Pearson, 2013;Prince et al, 2013). It is also possible that participants with high negative AEs who use more PBS are experiencing early symptoms of alcohol use disorders.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Alcohol expectancies (AEs) are positively associated with drinking behaviors, whereas the use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) is negatively related to alcohol outcomes among young adults. PBS have been shown to weaken relationships between some alcohol risk factors and alcohol outcomes. This study aimed to examine longitudinally the moderating effect of PBS on the relationships between AEs and alcohol outcomes among young adults. Method: Participants (N = 188; 61.7% female) were U.S. young adults participating in a larger longitudinal study. Measures of PBS, AEs, alcohol use, and related consequences were used from the baseline and 12-month followup assessments. Results: Negative binomial hurdle models found that PBS (total score) significantly moderated the relationship between positive AEs and consequences, such that among high school seniors endorsing higher positive AEs, those using more PBS in high school reported fewer negative consequences 1 year later. PBS (Manner of Drinking) also moderated the relationship between negative AEs and alcohol use, revealing the use of PBS in high school as having a protective function against later drinking among participants with high positive AEs. Last, PBS (Serious Harm Reduction) significantly moderated the associations between positive AEs and alcohol use and between negative AEs and consequences, such that participants with higher AEs and higher PBS use in high school were at greatest risk for drinking and experiencing negative consequences later. Conclusions: Overall, these findings suggest that PBS use may be protective by weakening relationships between positive AEs and alcohol outcomes. Limitations and future directions are discussed. (J.

“…Although excessive alcohol drinking is truly a health problem at universities, it seems necessary to conduct general health education, health promotion, and health prevention together with alcohol prevention programs on college campuses (e.g., Diebold, Chappell, & Robinson, 2000;Guillaumie, Godin, Manderscheid, Spitz, & Muller, 2012;Larimer & Cronce, 2007;Prince, Carey, & Maisto, 2013).…”

INTRODUCTION:A healthy lifestyle is related to healthy practices, such as healthy diet, avoidance of psychoactive stimulants, appropriate level of physical activity, preventive behaviors, coping with stress, positive social relationships, and adjustments. University students do not usually engage in a healthy lifestyle. Moreover, excessive alcohol drinking among students is truly a health problem.

“…PBS are cognitive-behavioral strategies one can use to limit alcohol use and associated risks while drinking or partying (Martens et al, 2005;Pearson, 2013;Prince et al, 2013). Examples of PBS include using a designated driver, predetermining the number of drinks to be consumed, and alternating alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) has been shown to be associated with alcohol outcomes among college students in general. Only a few studies, however, have examined how mental health is related to PBS and alcohol use. Furthermore, research has not yet investigated these associations in a longitudinal framework. Consequently, the present study aimed to examine PBS as a mediator of depressive symptom fl uctuations and alcohol consumption in a longitudinal weekly diary design. Method: Participants were 260 (70.8% women) undergraduate college student drinkers who completed four weekly self-report assessments of their depressive symptoms, PBS use, and alcohol outcomes experienced in the past week. Results: Results indicated signifi cant indirect effects such that increases in depressive symptoms were associated with higher alcohol consumption (i.e., quantity, frequency, peak drinking) through reduced PBS use. PBS did not mediate the association between depressive symptoms and alcoholrelated problems. Conclusions: These fi ndings suggest that experiencing an increase in depressive symptoms was associated with a failure to use PBS and, in turn, engagement in heavier alcohol consumption. College students with greater depressive symptoms may benefi t from harmreduction alcohol intervention programs that emphasize the use of PBS in drinking contexts. (J. Stud.
