Abstract

This chapter examines prevalence rates of alcohol use, marijuana use, and reports of using substances to cope during the COVID-19 pandemic gathered through the University at Albany’s 2020 Recent Issues and Student Experiences (RISE) Survey. Using findings from the RISE study, this chapter investigates how using substances to cope and COVID-related anxiety differed among college students identifying as racial and ethnic minorities, and men and women. Specifically, the impact of multiple minority identities on substance use coping motives and COVID-related anxiety was explored. We discuss implications for research, clinical work, targeted prevention initiatives, and place special emphasis on approaching prevention of health-risk behaviors through a comprehensive public health framework.
