Alcohol and Illicit Substance Use in the Food Service Industry: Assessing Self-Selection and Job-Related Risk Factors M.S., Hospitality Management, Ohio State University, 2008 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Drug Use; Job Hazards; Risk-Taking; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previously, most substance use research on workplace alcohol and drug problems have focused on four aspects: social control, norm, availability and stress. Due to the prevalence of substance use problem in the food service industry, this study investigates food service employee involvement with alcohol, marijuana, and other illicit drug using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 97 cohort. Self-selection is first examined using a multinomial logistic regression model. Then availability theory, norm theory, and stress theory are extended and tested by a number of job-related risk factors to predict employee substance use, using OLS models. Results show some evidence of self-selection: previous binge alcohol users and marijuana users had a greater likelihood to work in the food service industry. After controlling for previous substance use and individual backgrounds, bartending, tip earning, and holding multiple jobs were the major risk factors for employee alcohol or illicit drug use in the food service industry. Implications for practitioners are discussed and future research opportunities are then presented. |

Alcohol and Illicit Substance Use in the Food Service Industry: Assessing Self-Selection and Job-Related Risk Factors Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research 35,1 (February 1, 2011): 45-63 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Employment; Employment, Part-Time; Industrial Sector; Job Characteristics; Shift Workers; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The present study examines alcohol and illicit substance use in the food service industry with a generalizable national sample. Specifically, using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this research examines whether previous substance use predicts employment in food service and assesses the impact of job-related factors including cumulative experience, occupational differences, compensation, shifts worked, and holding multiple jobs on substance use. The results demonstrate that a modest self-selection effect does exist and that bartenders, employees who receive tipped compensation, and those who hold multiple jobs engage in greater substance use. These findings are discussed along with implications for practitioners and opportunities for future research attention.
