N2  - BACKGROUND: To date, few studies have included false identification (fake ID) use as a specific health risk behavior despite the fact that research has established a link between fake ID attainment and problematic alcohol use in a college student sample. The present study investigated the role of risk seeking, a facet of sensation seeking, in fake ID attainment, and the relation between fake ID attainment and risk seeking in predicting problematic drinking. <br><br>METHODS: Data were collected using a cross-sectional survey battery from a sample of college students at a large, Colorado university. Analyses included penalized likelihood and negative binomial regression models. <br><br>RESULTS: and Conclusions: Risk seeking positively predicted fake ID attainment. Additionally, a negative binomial hurdle model established that, controlling for 30-day alcohol use, both fake ID attainment and risk seeking predicted being drunk in the past 30 days. The role of risk seeking and fake ID attainment in problematic drinking outcomes is important to consider for informing prevention and intervention efforts in a college student population.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
