Abstract

Part I of this (this journal, Vol. 25, No. 8, pp. 889-910) series described the theoretical justification for this research, the methods and measures used, and the interrelationships between indicators of physical, subjective, and social availability. Part II explores the relationships between these variables and alcohol consumption using bivariate analyses and structural equation modeling. As predicted, for these metropolitan residents, physical distance from an outlet only indirectly related to alcohol consumption via its negative relationship to subjective availability. Indicators of both subjective and social availability positively related to alcohol consumption. The implications of these results for future availability research and prevention programming are discussed.
