Abstract Created by REACH
This study examined whether relationship satisfaction may weaken the
negative effects of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depressive symptoms on hazardous
drinking (i.e., consuming more than 4 drinks in a week) among a sample of 584 women Service
members and Veterans. In addition, separate analyses were conducted for specific PTSD
symptoms, such as negativity (i.e., negative thoughts and mood), and depressive symptoms, such
as somatic symptoms (e.g., poor sleep or eating). In general, relationship satisfaction appeared to
weaken the associations of PTSD symptoms and depressive symptoms with hazardous drinking.
