Predicting Alcohol Use and Alcohol Use Disorder Symptoms From Subjective Responses to Alcohol in a Laboratory Social Setting
This study aims to identify risk factors that prospectively predict alcohol problems in young
adults.
adults.
The vast majority of alcohol use takes place in social settings, yet nearly all human
experimental work has administered alcohol to individuals in isolation. This study will
examine the effects of alcohol in social groups and test whether these responses predict the
escalation of alcohol use and development of alcohol use disorder symptoms. Participants will
also complete smartphone surveys querying subjective responses to alcohol in their daily
lives.
N=400 male and female young adults will participate in a laboratory session with two other
participants and will consume either a moderate dose of alcohol or placebo beverage.
Subjective and objective responses to alcohol will be assessed. Participants will also
complete surveys on their smartphones; these will occur during drinking episodes and at
random times throughout the day. Follow-up sessions will occur at 6-months and 12-months, to
collect information about drinking habits and potential alcohol-related problems.
