abstract="This study examined the relations among precollege trauma exposure, alcohol use upon  entering college, growth in alcohol use, and sleep quality in a sample of  undergraduate students. Participants were 932 students from a large, urban, public  university. Participants completed a survey upon entering college and then  subsequent follow-up surveys each Spring semester. Precollege trauma exposure was  associated with both baseline and growth in alcohol use, whereby higher levels of  trauma were associated with higher baseline alcohol use, but with less steep  increases in growth rate, as compared to those with lower levels of trauma. Baseline  alcohol use was associated with sleep quality whereby those with higher levels of  consumption demonstrated worsened sleep quality. This study provides longitudinal  evidence for the relations among trauma, alcohol use, and sleep quality. Although  the relationship between trauma and alcohol is well-established, further work is  needed to identify how this relationship impacts additional health outcomes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
