and trauma related measures as well use of a Midwestern cohort that might not be generalizable to national and global populations. The current findings suggest etiological models of alcohol involvement for AA and EA women must be considered discretely as risk and protective factors may differ across race – although protective factors not considered in these analyses. Lastly, the current findings are based on a female-only sample and cannot be generalized to men. It is likely that men differ from women with respect to the types of trauma experienced, reactions to trauma (Breslau, 2002, Tolin and Foa, 2006) and involvement with alcohol (Johnston et al., 2016).
