Moderators and mediators of the relationship between receiving versus being denied a pregnancy termination and subsequent binge drinking

Highlights • We examined moderators and mediators of the termination–binge drinking relationship. • Only parity moderated the relationship. • Binge drinking remained steady among all women who had terminations. • Parous, not nulliparous, women denied terminations maintained drinking reductions. • Neither stress, negative emotions, nor social roles mediated the relationship.
