In active addiction, the brain's neural systems orient towards satisfying cravings to reduce biomechanical stress, by boosting craving and reward signals and inhibiting decision-making in the prefrontal cortex. This stands as a risk factor for drinking-related consequences. Mindfulness, with its features of intentional awareness and present-moment focus, can aid with the reduction of impulsivity, and decrease those consequences. In this study, participants completed self-report questionnaires for impulsivity, mindfulness, and drinking-related consequences. Correlations were analyzed, and eight mediational models were run, utilizing subscales and facets of the constructs.
