Title of project:
Associations between Adolescent Anxiety and Alcohol Use in Young Adulthood
Proposal summary:
Anxiety is associated with alcohol use. However, different hypotheses exist regarding the direction of these associations and evidence is inconsistent. Following on from a recent experimental study which found that state anxiety leads to higher alcohol choice, this epidemiological study will investigate the relationship between adolescent anxiety and alcohol use in young adulthood.
