Influences of Invincibility and Gender on Alcohol and Prescription Stimulant Misuse in College Students

This study examined the relationships between gender and invincibility on undergraduate alcohol/stimulant use. Participants completed questionnaires assessing alcohol frequency, amount, problems, and invincibility. Path analysis revealed a relationship between alcohol problems and invincibility, and stimulant misuse. A total effect of invincibility on stimulant misuse through alcohol problems was also suggested.
