Clarifying the Relation between Alcohol Demand and Alcohol-Related Relative Reinforcement and Driving after Drinking in a Canadian Community Sample.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous studies examining associations between elevated behavioural economic alcohol demand and rates of driving after drinking (DAD) have primarily focused on university students in the United States. It is unclear whether similar associations exist in community adults and in other locations. Furthermore, the role of proportionate alcohol reinforcement (e.g., reinforcement derived from alcohol vs. non-alcohol related activities) has not been investigated in relation to DAD. The goal of this study was to investigate cognitive and behavioural economic factors related to DAD in a large community sample of Canadian adults.

Methods

Participants (N = 926) were extracted from the "Population Assessment for Tomorrow's Health" (PATH) registry, a sample of adults fr
