The purpose of this investigation was to examine links between family trauma and daily stress and mental and physical health among emerging adults (EA), and whether these links were moderated by friend-EA relationship quality and best friend risky behavior. The sample consisted of 1,163 college women who completed online anonymous surveys. Findings indicated that high levels of family trauma and daily stress were significantly related to high levels of EA physical health problems, risky behavior, and internalizing symptoms. Results also indicated that the link between family trauma and risky behavior was attenuated under low levels of best friend risky behavior. The moderation analyses also demonstrated that the links between adversity and EA health problems, risky behavior, and internalizing symptoms were positive, significant, and magnified under high levels best friend-EA relationship quality among youth reporting high levels of best friend risky behavior. The role of friends in fostering resilience among at-risk college women and how this may vary by characteristics of the friends and friendships were discussed.
