Haas AR, et al. - Researchers examined 121 Black undergraduate college students who endorsed exposure to a traumatic event, for the relations among posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), anxiety sensitivity, and alcohol misuse. PTSS was noted to be significantly and positively associated with both anxiety sensitivity and alcohol misuse. Through PTSS, anxiety sensitivity poses a significant indirect effect on alcohol misuse. Specifically, there was an association of greater anxiety sensitivity to higher levels of PTSS, which, in turn, were associated with higher levels of alcohol misuse. These findings emphasize the possible significance of assessing anxiety sensitivity in identifying trauma-exposed Black individuals who are likely to experience alcohol misuse and the clinical utility of addressing PTSS, to possibly limit alcohol misuse and related negative consequences in this population reporting anxiety sensitivity.
