Pain severity and anxiety sensitivity interact to predict drinking severity among hazardous drinking college students.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that drinkers with high anxiety sensitivity may use alcohol hazardously (and in greater quantities) in the context of pain. If replicated with longitudinal samples, the findings may inform clinical practice in terms of screening for and treatment of anxiety sensitivity. PMID: 32931714 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
