Abstract
Purpose: This study examined associations among alcohol-related problems and family support, collective efficacy, emotion-regulation drinking motives, and limited access to emotion-regulation strategies among racially diverse adolescents. Methods: The sample included 150 racially diverse adolescent girls and boys (53.3% male) from two urban high schools in different geographic regions. Results: Family support and collective efficacy were negatively correlated, and emotion-regulation drinking motives and limited access to emotion-regulation strategies positively correlated, with alcohol-related problems. Accounting for geographic location and drinking level, emotion-regulation drinking motives and limited access to emotion-regulation strategies uniquely predicted the number of different alcohol-related problems. Conclusions: Results suggest the importance of including social and emotion factors in examinations of adolescent alcohol-related problems.
