One critical area of cognitive functioning affected by alcohol is prospective memory, the ability to remember and execute intended future actions. Individuals with a history of childhood trauma are at increased risk for alcohol misuse and associated cognitive challenges. Psychological inflexibility, defined as difficulty adapting to distressing internal experiences, may further exacerbate these effects but remains underexplored as a moderating variable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to examine the moderating role of psychological inflexibility in the relationship between alcohol abuse and prospective memory in young adults with and without childhood trauma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 250 young adults (125 with childhood trauma and 125 without), aged 18\u201325, were selected using purposive sampling from educational institutions and community centres in Delhi NCR. Participants completed standardised self-report instruments, including the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ), and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II).
