Cerda M, Vlahov D, Tracy M, Galea S. Cerda M, et al. Among authors: vlahov d. Addiction. 2008 Aug;103(8):1296-307. doi: 10.1111/j.1360-0443.2008.02247.x. Addiction. 2008. PMID: 18855819 Free article.
CONCLUSIONS: While point-in-time mass traumatic events may matter in the short term, their contribution subsides over time. Accumulated stressors and traumatic events, in contrast, lead to higher levels of consumption among respondents already vulnerable to high alcohol us …
