Abstract
U.S. adults (N = 512) completed an online survey to examine substance use and abuse as predictors of weather-related PTSD. A hierarchical regression with demographic covariates found that substance use significantly predicted weather-related PTSD symptoms. Problematic tobacco use was the strongest predictor of increased weather-related PTSD symptoms.
