Real-time Social Stress Response and Subsequent Alcohol Use Initiation Among Female Adolescents

About the Course

This article explores the relationship between social stress sensitivity and alcohol initiation among young female adolescents. It employs discrete-time survival analysis (DTSA) to investigate whether real-time social stress responses, induced in a laboratory setting, and self-reported social anxiety symptoms can predict the onset of alcohol consumption over a 12-month period in a sample of girls who had not previously consumed alcohol. The study involves 104 girls aged 12-15, who underwent a modified Trier Social Stress Test and completed questionnaires. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the initial laboratory visit.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Real-time Social Stress Response and Subsequent Alcohol Use Initiation Among Female Adolescents created by Renee M. Cloutier. PhD et al. in 2019.
