AI Article Synopsis
- Previous research highlights protective behavioral strategies (PBS) as effective methods for reducing alcohol consumption and its negative effects.
- Recent studies have begun to focus on how PBS can influence the relationship between binge drinking and alcohol-related problems, but there are some limitations in current research methods.
- A new study involving 4,154 students from 13 midwestern universities found that PBS significantly moderated the relationship between binge drinking and alcohol problems, with stronger effects observed when binge drinking was assessed in binary terms rather than continuously.
Article Abstract
Previous research has examined protective behavioral strategies (PBS), or cognitive-behavioral strategies that may be employed when using alcohol to reduce consumption and related problems, as an important predictor of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. More recently, studies have explored the mediating and moderating role of PBS on the relationships between key alcohol-related risk factors (i.e., drinking motives, depressive symptoms, binge drinking) and alcohol problems; however, current research examining PBS as a moderator of the relationship between alcohol use and related problems has methodological limitations. The purpose of the present study was to extend previous literature to examine the moderating effect of PBS on the relationship between binge drinking and alcohol-related problems. Data were collected and analyzed from 4,154 students at 13 midwestern universities. Findings indicated that PBS moderated the binge drinking-alcohol problems relationship for each of the four measures of binge drinking. However, effects were strongest when binge drinking was measured dichotomously versus continuously. Implications and future directions are discussed.

Université Côte d'Azur, INSERM, U1065, C3M, Nice, France.
Background And Aims: Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is one of the leading causes of severe liver disease with limited pharmacological treatments for alcohol-related steatohepatitis (ASH). CD44, a glycoprotein mainly expressed in immune cells, has been implicated in multiple inflammatory diseases but has never been studied in the ALD context. We therefore studied its contribution to ASH development in mice and its expression in ALD patients.
