Abstract

Self-reports of high-risk events, situations and experiences associated with substance abuse and binge-eating behaviors were examined in a sample of hospitalized patients being treated for both problems. The question being posed in the present study is: Are the high-risk situations for heavy drinking and binge eating similar or different? Results suggest some similarities in the intensity of specific high-risk situations as represented by questionnaire subscale scores, for both of the problem behaviors, but they point to interesting differences as well. The hierarchical importance of the high-risk situations for the two behaviors were markedly different.
