摘要：
There is evidence to suggest that exposure to military stressors may contribute to alcohol consumption among military personnel. The present study analyzed health questionnaire data from 3,852 Canadian Forces (CF) candidates in an effort to identify psychological health and personality characteristics that could be targeted in order to prevent or reduce problem drinking among CF personnel. Results revealed that some of the psychological health and personality characteristics examined (i.e., PTSD, depression symptoms, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and extroversion) were significantly associated with alcohol use. Some methodological constraints and the potential implications for the prevention of problem drinking among military personnel are discussed.
