abstract="The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the unique explanatory role of alcohol use motives above the effects of each other, using a multiple mediation  model, for the relationship between obsessive-compulsive symptomatology and  problematic alcohol use among a young ethno-racially diverse sample of college  students with current (past-month) alcohol use. Participants were 454 college  students (81.72% female, Mage = 22.46, SD = 4.71). <br><br>RESULTS indicated that coping  motives significantly explained the relationship between obsessive-compulsive  symptoms, and alcohol consumption (past year), risky drinking, and recent alcohol  use (past month) as behavioral indices of problematic drinking after controlling for  the variance accounted for by recent cannabis use, smoking, and anxiety and  depressive symptoms (with small to medium effect sizes). These findings are  discussed in terms of the development of specialized treatments to specifically  target coping oriented alcohol use motives in the context of obsessive-compulsive  symptoms among young adults with clinically significant OCD symptoms and comorbid  problematic alcohol use.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
