In terms of threats to recovery, we derived a count variable of COVID-related stressors by summing affirmative responses to a choose-all-that-apply list of possible sources of stress (range 0–12). The list was adapted from the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes survey, available on the Public Health Emergency and Disaster Research Response website (https://dr2.nlm.nih.gov). Based on findings of greater increases in drinking by women than men (Barbosa et al., 2020, Pollard et al., 2020), we included a binary indicator of the presence of minor children in the household (any vs. none) as a second recovery threat. We posited that it could serve as a gender-specific stressor given women’s traditional childcare responsibilities. In contrast, there were two measures of recovery supports. First, the questionnaire included the 10-item Brief Assessment of Recovery Capital (BARC-10), which provided a global measure of individual and interpersonal assets that could be leveraged to initiate and sustain recovery (Vilsaint et al., 2017). In addition, participants completed the 12-item Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, which assessed perceived general support from family, friends, and a significant other (Dahlem
