Drinker’s own drinking, experience of alcohol-related harms, and concern for drinking predict drinker’s attitudes towards non-drinkers

While the stigma experienced by non-drinkers is well-documented, little is known about the factors that influence it. This study aims to test a sequential mediation model in which the amount of alcohol consumed by a drinker, predicts their experienced alcohol-related harm, which in turn predicts the concern they have for drinking and their negative attitudes towards non-drinkers.
