Abstract
Associations between posttraumatic stress and alcohol use are well-established. Less is known about the role of mindfulness in that association. The current study demonstrates a moderating effect of mindful awareness in the association between posttraumatic stress symptoms and alcohol use among college students. Clinical implications will be discussed.
