Distinguishing High-Intensity Drinking from Heavy-Episodic Drinking Events Among Heavy-Drinking U.S. adults
Edwina Williams, Camillia K Lui et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2025
INTRODUCTION: High-intensity drinking (HID) poses significant health risks, yet research on its prevalence and contextual factors, among general adult populations, remains limited. To identify intervention points among heavy drinkers, this study compared event-level factors that were associated with higher risk for HID compared to heavy episodic drinking (5+ drinks). METHODS: We surveyed 756 adults (ages 18-65) who engaged in past-year 5+ drinkin…

High Intensity Drinking (HID) Assessed by Maximum Quantity Consumed Is an Important Pattern Measure Adding Predictive Value in Higher and Lower Income Societies for Modeling Alcohol-Related Problems
Open AccessThomas K Greenfield, Camillia Lui et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023
Adjusting for demographics and standard drinking measures, High Intensity Drinking (HID), indexed by the maximum quantity consumed in a single day in the past 12 months, may be valuable in predicting alcohol dependence other harms across high and low income societies. The data consisted of 17 surveys of adult (15,460 current drinkers; 71% of total surveyed) in Europe (3), the Americas (8), Africa (2), and Asia/Australia (4). Gender-disaggregated …
A gender-focused multilevel analysis of how country, regional and individual level factors relate to harm from others’ drinking
Sarah Callinan, Katherine J Karriker‐jaffe et al.ARTICLEDrugs Education Prevention and…2022
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine how gender, age and education, regional prevalence of male and female risky drinking and country-level economic gender equality are associated with harms from other people's drinking. METHODS: 24,823 adults in ten countries were surveyed about harms from drinking by people they know and strangers. Country-level economic gender equality and regional prevalence of risky drinking along with age and ge…
Associations of clustered health risk behaviors with diabetes and hypertension in White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian American adults
Open AccessWon Kim Cook, Libo Li et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022
Concerted efforts to address clustered risk behaviors in most US adults, particularly in racial/ethnic minority groups given the high prevalence of unhealthy clustering, are warranted
Subjective Social Status and Financial Hardship
Won Kim Cook, Nina Mulia et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2020
Background: Prior research shows inconsistent associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and alcohol outcomes, particularly for immigrant populations. Conventional markers of SES may not fully capture how social position affects health in these groups. Objective: We examine: (1) the associations of two alternative indicators, subjective social status (SSS) and financial hardship, with problem drinking outcomes, heavy episodic drinking (HED) …
Gender Equality, Drinking Cultures and Second-Hand Harms from Alcohol in the 50 US States
Open AccessKatherine J Karriker‐jaffe, Christina C Tam et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019
Detrimental effects of high male binge drinking rates may be modified by gender equality. Targeted interventions may reduce alcohol-related harms experienced by women in states with high rates of male binge drinking. Restrictions in access to contraception and abortion may exacerbate harms due to men's drinking

Asian American Problem Drinking Trajectories During the Transition to Adulthood

Objectives. We aimed to identify problem drinking trajectories and their predictors among Asian Americans transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. We considered cultural and socioeconomic contextual factors, specifically ethnic drinking cultures, neighborhood socioeconomic status, and neighborhood coethnic density, to identify subgroups at high risk for developing problematic drinking trajectories. Methods. We used a sample of 1333 Asian Amer…

Rethinking Acculturation
Open AccessWon Kim Cook, C Richard Hofstetter et al.ARTICLEContemporary Drug Problems2009Citada por: 2Referencias: 49
Given the considerable variability in drinking practices among Asian American groups, the generalizations that suggest an increase in their alcohol use associated with acculturation need to be questioned. Also, the experience of children of immigrants growing up in the United States may be much more complex than a focus on acculturation can capture. Informed by the theory of segmented assimilation, this study addresses two research questions: (1)…
