DESCRIPTION:Session: Recent Research on Alcohol-Related Harms and Preventi
 on Efforts Program: Alcohol\, Tobacco\, and Other Drugs Author: Trace Ker
 shaw\, PhD Abstract Commitment to sobriety is a newer construct aimed to 
 tap into individuals who use substances’ readiness and willingness to eng
 age in treatment. There has been little to no research aimed at understan
 ding the relationship between other well-studied treatment-specific const
 ructs and commitment to sobriety. This study aims to analyze a number of 
 predictive factors of commitment to sobriety\, and potential moderators b
 etween the predictive factors and commitment to sobriety. Data was collec
 ted from N=386 adults in treatment for substance use. We first tested\, v
 ia backwards stepwise multiple linear regression\, potential predictors o
 f commitment to sobriety. We subsequently conducted moderation analyses t
 o evaluate potential moderators for each of the independent variables on 
 their relationship with commitment to sobriety. Potential predictors and 
 moderators were selected based on their significant relationships with su
 bstance use disorders in prior research. The regression analysis revealed
  the significant predictors of commitment to sobriety (p <0.05) were: sel
 f-efficacy to maintain sobriety\, number of previous drinking days\, nega
 tive perceptions about their drinking behaviors\, positive expectations o
 f alcohol consumption\, and use of coping mechanisms. The moderation anal
 ysis revealed there is a stronger relationship between commitment to sobr
 iety and negative alcohol expectations for women compared to men (p <0.05
 ). The relationship between commitment to sobriety and more abstinent dri
 nking goals is stronger for those not legally required to be in treatment
  than for those legally required (p <0.05). Severity of substance use was
  neither a significant predictor nor moderator\, indicating that alcohol-
 specific constructs may be more predictive of commitment to sobriety. The
  factors indicated by the model are useful in predicting the level of com
 mitment individuals in treatment for substance use have toward maintainin
 g sobriety. These results may be useful for treatment centers to identify
  what individuals are potentially in need of more care in order to reduce
  their risk for relapse.\n\nAdmission:\nRegistrationFees: APHA Event Regi
