title: The role of minority stress in second-generation Black emerging adult college students' high-risk drinking behaviors.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study used a minority stress framework to investigate the relationships between multiple stressors (e.g., general life stress, race related stress, and acculturative stress) and high-risk drinking behaviors in a sample of second-generation Black emerging adult college students across the United States.
  
  
  METHODS
  Participants (n = 148) were recruited from U.S. colleges and universities as part of a large, multiwave cross-sectional study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Findings from this study mirrored those in the extant literature: the positive relationship between race-related stress and high-risk drinking behaviors found in other marginalized groups. However, when all stressors were entered into the model, acculturative stress accounted for significant variance in high-risk drinking behaviors above and beyond general life and race-related stressors in second generation Black emerging adult college students.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Findings underscore the need to better understand the influence of acculturative stress on high-risk drinking behaviors among second-generation Black emerging adult college students: an understudied population in both the acculturation and alcohol use literatures. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
