Drinking Motives and Alcohol Consumption Among Asian American Young Adults: The Moderating Role of Alcohol-Related Facial Flushing
The current study extends prior international research on drinking motives and flushing status to U.S. Asian young adults. Findings support the need for prevention strategies that address individual drinking motives and the modeling of alcohol use by peers. Reducing alcohol use among individuals who experience alcohol-induced flushing is a public health priority, given their heightened risk for alcohol-related cancers and other negative health outcomes.
