In order to reduce individual societal burden excessive use, it is crucial identify high-risk individuals at earlier stages provide effective interventions prevent further progression. Stressful experiences important risk factors for AUDs. However, underlying biological psychological mechanisms still poorly understood. Methods The project “Underlying in relationship between stress regular risky drinkers (MESA)” randomized controlled study that started December 2018 conducted laboratory setting, which aims moderators mediators acute drinkers. Regular randomly assigned induction or control condition. Several processes may mediate (emotional distress, endocrine autonomic reactivity, impulsivity, inhibitory control, motivational sensitization) moderate (trait childhood maltreatment, basal HPA-axis activity) relation investigated. As primary dependent variable, motivation consume following psychosocial measured. Discussion results this could help valuable targets future research on tailored stress-related consumption.
