Racial/Ethnic Differences in 30-year Trajectories of Heavy Drinking in a Nationally Representative U.S. Sample Drug and Alcohol Dependence 170 (1 January 2017): 133-141. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0376871616309826 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Ethnic Differences; Life Course; Racial Differences Background: Racial/ethnic minorities bear a disproportionate burden of alcohol-related problems in the U.S. It is unknown whether this reflects harmful patterns of lifecourse heavy drinking. Prior research shows little support for the latter but has been limited to young samples. We examine racial/ethnic differences in heavy drinking trajectories from ages 21 to 51. Methods: Data on heavy drinking (6+ drinks/occasion) are from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 9,468), collected between 1982 and 2012. Sex-stratified, generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to model heavy drinking frequency trajectories as a function of age with a cubic curve, and interactions of race with age terms were tested to assess racial/ethnic differences. Models adjusted for time-varying socioeconomic status and marital and parenting status; predictors of trajectories were examined in race- and sex-specific models. Results: White men and women had similarly steep declines in heavy drinking frequency throughout the 20s, contrasting with slower declines (and lower peaks) in Black and Hispanic men and women. During the 30s there was a Hispanic-White crossover in men's heavy drinking curves, and a Black-White female crossover among lifetime heavy drinkers; by age 51, racial/ethnic group trajectories converged in both sexes. Greater education was protective for all groups. |

The Downward Spiral: Socioeconomic Causes and Consequences of Alcohol Dependence among Men in Late Young Adulthood, and Relations to Racial/ethnic Disparities Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research 44,3 (March 2020): 669-678. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acer.14292 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Research Society on Alcoholism and the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Ethnic Differences; Income; Racial Differences; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Methods: We used longitudinal, national data to 1) describe racial/ethnic disparities in late young adult alcohol dependence criteria (LYADC), 2) examine whether income trajectory in early young adulthood contributes to these racial/ethnic disparities, and 3) test whether LYADC reciprocally predicts income trajectory in early midlife. Data were from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N=3,993), which measured LYADC in 1994 (mean age=33). Income trajectory classes were derived for early young adulthood (mean ages=21‐31) and, separately, early midlife (mean ages=35‐45). Analyses included negative binomial regressions and multinomial regression. Results: Both Black and US‐born Latino men reported more LYADC than White men. Further, membership in the persistently low and slow increase (vs. stable middle) early young adult income trajectory classes was associated with more LYADC. Multivariate analyses suggested that Black‐White disparities in LYADC were explained by early young adult income trajectories, whereas Latino‐White disparities in the same were explained by both early young adult income trajectories and early education. In controlled models, more LYADC predicted a higher likelihood of membership in the persistently low (vs. stable middle) income trajectory class in early midlife. |

Job Loss and Alcohol Dependence among Blacks and Whites in a National Longitudinal Survey Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse 16,3 (2017): 314-327. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15332640.2016.1209144 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Job Tenure; Racial Differences; Unemployment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We used the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to test whether the association between job loss and incidence of alcohol dependence differed across Blacks and Whites. Respondents were interviewed annually from 1979 to 1994; DSM-IV dependence was assessed in 1989 and 1994. Analyses included only those employed in 1989 and involved lagged logistic regressions predicting past-year dependence in 1994 from job loss during 1990-1993. Unexpectedly, results showed stronger and more robust associations between job loss and dependence among Whites (AOR = 1.93, p < .05) than among Blacks (AOR = 0.82, nonsignificant). Findings diverge from prior research, suggesting disparities may differ as a function of age and/or time. |
