First, we tested a moderation model, including AUD symptoms (DV), perceived socio-economic disadvantage (IV), and social capital (moderator). Secondly, we tested a moderated mediation model, additionally including drinking motives as mediators of the moderation effect tested in the first model.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In the case of high social capital, young adults reporting higher socio-economic disadvantage reported fewer AUD symptoms than their advantaged counterparts, which was associated with their lower endorsement of coping, enhancement, and social motives. When social capital was low, those reporting higher socio-economic disadvantages showed higher AUD symptoms than their advantaged counterparts, which was associated with their higher endorsement of coping motives only.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Social capital can buffer (at high levels) or aggravate (at low levels) socio-economic inequalities in AUD symptoms, and drinking for coping, enhancement, and social motives may explain why this happens.</p>","PeriodicalId":7407,"journal":{"name":"Alcohol and alcoholism","volume":"60 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11976715/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143802238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
