Previous research has shown that trauma, substance use, and mental health are associated with each other among Latino/a/x college students. We examined relationships between, mental health and substance use among Latino/a/x students (N=121; Mage=19.95; 76% female). We conducted linear regression models between stress, trauma, anxiety, and depression on alcohol-related consequences. When all four predictors were in the model trauma and stress remained significant with the alcohol-related consequences.
