Abstract Details

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships among alcohol consumption and two psychological variables (depression, and conduct disorder) in women who are drinkers who had been involved in an alcohol-related motor vehicle crash (ARMVC). Wilsnack’s theoretical model of causes and consequences of problem drinking among women was used to guide the analyses. The sample included 43 participants, 18 to 45 years old, with a mean age of 28.84 years (SD = 7.10). The sample was derived from a brief intervention study that was conducted to test the effect of brief intervention to reduce alcohol consumption. Data were collected using a Health Screening Survey, which included instruments to assess for conduct disorder before and after age 15 and depression both in the previous year and in over a life time. Alcohol consumption was calculated using the Timeline FollowBack method (TLFB). Multiple regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship among the psychological factors of interest and the average number of drinks per drinking day. Results showed that the combination of conduct disorder before and after age 15, depression over a life time and in the last year, and age were significantly predicted almost 26% of the variance in the average number of drinks per drinking day, (F [5, 37] = 2.65, p < .05). Subsequent regression included three predictive variables at a time to find the best regression model. Results indicated that the best fit regression model that significantly explained approximately 25% of the variance in the average number of drinks per drinking day included depression over a life time, conduct disorder after age 15, and age. Depression over a life time significantly contributed the most to the variance to the average number of drinks per drinking day (37%) followed by age and conduct disorder after age 15. Younger women with a history of conduct disorder and depression consumed more alcohol than their older counterparts. Although more work is needed, when young women screen positive for depression or conduct disorder, alcohol screening is also important.
