abstract="The relationship between early sexual abuse and college problem drinking was examined using an integration of the self-medication and vulnerability-stress models. Baseline survey data from participants (N = 213; 135 men and 78 college women) completing a mandated, brief alcohol intervention were utilized. Representative of the self-medication model, posttraumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms mediated the early sexual abuse/problem drinking relationship. Two psychological vulnerability factors - emotion dysregulation and dissociative tendencies - were incorporated into self-medication findings via more advanced mediational models. <br><br>RESULTS highlighted that problem drinking increased as dissociative tendencies increased, and relations between the vulnerability factors and PTSD symptoms were in an unexpected direction.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
