Alcohol and cannabis are the most misused psychoactive substances in the United States, and their misuse among African American young adults has the potential to be especially problematic. The proposed research examines how daily and racial stressors (e.g., racism and discrimination) may lead to alcohol and cannabis use among African American young adults, and what individual and community coping and resources mitigate this causal effect. This research is designed to identify possible targets for culturally responsive prevention and treatment efforts to help prevent and reduce alcohol and cannabis use among African American young adults.
