Results from this cross-sectional invest…
The role of minority stress in second-generation Black emerging adult college students’ high-risk drinking behaviors
Findings underscore the need to better understand the influence of acculturative stress on high-risk drinking behaviors among second-generation Black emerging adult college students: an understudied population in both the acculturation and alcohol use literatures. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
