The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the unique explanatory role of alcohol use motives above the effects of each other, using a multiple mediation model, for the relationship between obsessive–compulsive symptomatology and problematic alcohol use among a young ethno-racially diverse sample of college students with current (past-month) alcohol use. Participants were 454 college students (81.72% female, Mage = 22.46, SD = 4.71). Results indicated that coping motives significantly explained the relationship between obsessive–compulsive symptoms, and alcohol consumption (past year), risky drinking, and recent alcohol use (past month) as behavioral indices of problematic drinking after controlling for the variance accounted for by recent cannabis use, smoking, and anxiety and depressive symptoms (with small to medium effect sizes). These findings are discussed in terms of the development of specialized treatments to specifically target coping oriented alcohol use motives in the context of obsessive–compulsive symptoms among young adults with clinically significant OCD symptoms and comorbid problematic alcohol use.

本研究的目的是使用多重中介模型研究酒精滥用动机高于彼此的影响的独特解释作用，以研究强迫症-症状学与年轻种族种族样本之间有问题的酒精滥用之间的关系。当前（过去一个月）饮酒的大学生比例。参加者为454名大学生（女性为81.72％，法师= 22.46，SD = 4.71）。结果表明，应对动机显着说明了强迫症状与饮酒（过去一年），危险饮酒和最近饮酒（过去一个月）之间的关系，这是控制近期大麻造成的饮酒后行为问题的行为指标使用，吸烟以及焦虑和抑郁症状（中小影响量）。
