At the same time, emerging evidence suggests that a larger local construction sector may have protective community\u2010level effects on alcohol and other drug outcomes.

Demanding work schedule and psychological distress were positively associated with binge drinking. However, employment in construction also predicted lower precarious employment conditions and psychological distress. Notably, greater local construction job share was directly associated with lower odds and frequency of binge drinking, suggesting a protective ecological effect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings highlight the importance of addressing demanding work hours and limited vacation\u2014key risk factors for alcohol misuse.
