About the Course

This article explores the relationship between social stress sensitivity and alcohol initiation among young female adolescents. It employs discrete-time survival analysis (DTSA) to investigate whether real-time social stress responses, induced in a laboratory setting, and self-reported social anxiety symptoms can predict the onset of alcohol consumption over a 12-month period in a sample of girls who had not previously consumed alcohol. The study involves 104 girls aged 12-15, who underwent a modified Trier Social Stress Test and completed questionnaires. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the initial laboratory visit.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Real-time Social Stress Response and Subsequent Alcohol Use Initiation Among Female Adolescents created by Renee M. Cloutier. PhD et al. in 2019.
