“…This finding was also identified in previous studies. (13,25) The relationship between workers with a lower risk of consumption and more years of schooling corroborates some previous studies and diverges from others due to differences between the studied populations (men/women; adults/youths; unemployed workers/students, among others) and the categories used to identify schooling among individuals. (28,29,32) In this study, 27.8% of participants had eight years of schooling or less.…”

“…(3)(4)(5)(6) Some researchers have investigated the sociodemographic factors associated with alcohol use among workers; (7,8) however, studies with the specific population of maintenance workers were not identified. Most prior studies on alcoholism among workers (1,4,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) chiefly consider hazardous use or dependence symptoms without specifically analyzing factors such as frequency of consumption or binge drinking. According to the World Health Organization, binge drinking, also known as heavy episodic drinking, is the consumption of high levels (60 grams or more) of alcohol on a single occasion.…”

Objective: To analyze alcohol consumption among public maintenance workers and identify the associated sociodemographic factors. Methods: This is a quantitative cross-sectional study conducted with the public maintenance workers of a university in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identifi cation Test (AUDIT). Results: It was found that 78% of the workers had consumed alcoholic beverages in the last 12 months. Of these workers, 43% were low-risk consumers, 50% were heavy drinkers, and 7% showed a pattern of consumption that is indicative of dependency. Moreover, 54% reported they had four or more drinks and 82% reported they were binge drinkers. The factors associated with consumption were years of schooling, position, gender, income, and skin color, and the consumption of four or more doses was associated with the position of manual laborer. Conclusion: It was identifi ed that the prevalence of workers with "hazardous use" or "dependence symptoms" was greater (in descriptive terms) than the prevalence identifi ed in a major national survey. Years of schooling was the most relevant demographic factor since the chances of "hazardous use" or "dependence symptoms" increased by 20% as each year of schooling decreased. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar o consumo de álcool entre trabalhadores públicos da manutenção e identifi car os fatores sociodemográfi cos associados. Métodos: Estudo quantitativo transversal, realizado com trabalhadores públicos da manutenção de uma universidade do interior do estado de São Paulo. Foi utilizado um questionário de dados sociodemográfi cos e o Teste para Identifi cação de Problemas Relacionados ao uso de Álcool (AUDIT). Resultados: Identifi cou-se que 78% dos trabalhadores consumiram bebidas alcoólicas nos últimos 12 meses. Dentre os participantes não abstêmios, 43% apresentaram consumo de baixo risco, 50% eram bebedores abusivos e 7% se encontravam no padrão de consumo indicativa de dependência. Destaca-se que 54% referiram o consumo de quatro doses ou mais quando bebiam e 82% dos participantes referiram consumo em binge. Os fatores associados ao consumo foram anos de estudo, função, gênero, renda e cor e o consumo de quatro doses ou mais foi associado com a função de trabalhador braçal. Conclusão: Identifi cou-se que a prevalência do consumo de trabalhadores no padrão "consumo abusivo ou provável dependência" foi maior (em termos descritivos) do que a identifi cada em um dos principais levantamentos nacionais. Os anos de estudo foi o fator sociodemográfi co de maior relevância, uma vez que, cada ano a menos de estudo aumentava cerca de 20% as chances de "consumo abusivo ou provável dependência".

The burden of alcohol use disorders in US military veterans: results from the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study

et al. 2016

More than 40% of US military veterans have a life-time history of alcohol use disorder. Veterans with a life-time history of alcohol use disorder have substantial comorbid psychiatric burden, including elevated rates of suicidal ideation and attempts. Certain socio-demographic (e.g. younger age, male sex, lower education) and clinical (e.g. trauma burden, history of depression) characteristics are associated with increased risk of AUD.
