TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Life domains, alcoholics anonymous, and role incumbency in the 3-year course of problem drinking JO - Journal of nervous and mental disease A1 - Humphreys, K. A1 - Moos, R. H. A1 - Finney, J. W. SP - 475 EP - 481 VL - 184 IS - 8 N2 - This study examined the course of problem drinking among 439 individuals over 3 years, using a life domains perspective that distinguishes life stressors and social resources in different contexts. More severe chronic financial stressors both predicted and were predicted by more alcohol consumption and drinking-related problems. Among social resources, Alcoholics Anonymous was the most robust predictor of better functioning on multiple outcome criteria. Support from friends and extended family also predicted better outcomes; this effect was stronger for individuals who were low on primary role incumbency (i.e., who were unemployed and/or did not have a spouse/partner).
