PURPOSE: To examine the associations of alcohol expectancy outcomes and valuations with intention to use. METHOD: A total of 157 adolescent nonusers completed anonymous self-report surveys. RESULTS: Adolescents who perceived more access to alcohol, expected less negative and more positive drinking outcomes, and evaluated positive outcomes favorably reported greater intentions to drink in adulthood. CONCLUSION: Findings may be useful for efforts to further delay the initiation of alcohol use.
