abstract="This study was designed to assess relations among alcohol use, alcohol-related problems, negative-life events, depressive symptoms, and suicide proneness in a cross-sectional sample of undergraduate college students (N = 1100). Alcohol use was assumed to be causally prior to alcohol-related problems and negative life events, which were in turn modeled as occurring prior to depressive symptoms, which were in turn modeled as prior to suicide proneness. <br><br>RESULTS revealed that, as expected, suicide proneness was positively related to depressive symptoms, alcohol-related problems, negative life events, and alcohol use, and depressive symptoms were positively associated with alcohol-related problems and negative life events. Additionally, the relation between alcohol use and depressive symptoms was partially mediated by alcohol-related problems and negative life events; and the alcohol use-suicide proneness link was significantly mediated by alcohol-related problems, negative life events, and depressive symptoms. Implications are offered for the improved identification and treatment of at-risk young adults.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
