- Efforts to decrease hazardous drinking in the military have had limited success, despite it being a known and pervasive issue. Community-based prevention programs may be one way to reduce hazardous drinking among military populations. This study used a representative sample of U.S. Air Force Active Duty Service members to examine the effects of proximal risk factors (e.g., financial stress) on the relationship between community functioning and hazardous drinking. Results suggest that community-based prevention research and programs may result in the reduction of hazardous drinking.
