“…In a French study, 1,282 lawyers were asked to complete the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). In the study group, 16% of respondents reported alcohol abuse, with higher GHQ-28 scores in women (Tran, 2007). The AUDIT score was higher in men in our study as opposed to some other publications.…”

“…Wypełnili oni Kwestionariusz Ogólnego Zdrowia dotyczący stanu zdrowia psychicznego (General Health Questionnaire, GHQ-28). W badanej grupie 16% osób zgłosiło nadużywanie alkoholu, a wyższe wyniki GHQ-28 występowały u kobiet (Tran, 2007). Różnicą w stosunku do niektórych innych publikacji jest wyższy wynik w skali AUDIT uzyskany w prezentowanym tu badaniu przez mężczyzn.…”

“…A questionnaire study in the USA showed that the risk of alcohol dependence, risky or harmful alcohol use accounted for 20.6% of lawyers, suggesting that this professional group is at a greater risk of addiction compared to the total population (Krill et al, 2016). In their study in a group of 486 French lawyers, Tran et al (2007) showed alcohol abuse in 11% of men and 6% of woman, which was again higher compared to the general population. Although the most recent study was published in 2016, the issue of alcohol consumption among lawyers is still largely unexplored.…”

Background: Not much is known about alcohol dependence, risky or harmful drinking among Polish lawyers. Studies conducted around the world have so far shown that this professional group is at a greater risk of alcohol addiction than the total population or other professional groups. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the model of alcohol consumption among lawyers, as well as the factors influencing this phenomenon. Materials and methods: The study was conducted among 206 lawyers, including 102 women and 104 men, aged between 29 and 84 years. The AUDIT test, developed by World Health Organization, was used. Results: In the study group of lawyers, 22.33% drink in a risky and harmful manner, including nearly 3% whose score suggests alcohol addiction. It was shown that the sex criterion differentiated the alcohol consumption model among lawyers, with statistically significant higher average values obtained for men (p = 0.002). The study showed that the drinking model is influenced both by the marital status of respondents and whether they have children or not (p = 0.000033). There was no influence of weekly working hours on the alcohol use pattern (p = 0.169, r = 0.10). An analysis using the Pearson’s r correlation coefficient showed a statistically significant relationship (p = 0.021) between age and AUDIT score. This was a low-strength negative correlation (r = −0.16), i.e. AUDIT scores decreased with the age of respondents. Conclusions: This study is the first medical assessment of the prevalence of alcohol use among Polish lawyers. Lawyers are a professional group reluctant to undergo evaluation, who are at a high risk of problematic alcohol use. The study shows that there is a need for in-depth diagnosis of alcohol addiction and development of educational, preventive and therapeutic programs that take into account the specificity of the work of lawyers.

“…This rate is higher than the 14% of moderate drinkers (8-14 drinks per week) and the 10% of heavier drinkers (>14 drinks per week) found in the US National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions [3]. In a sample of 486 French lawyers, Tran et al [4] found that 11% of the men and 6% of the women misused alcohol and that 60% of the women and 40% of the men suffered from psychological distress according to the General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28). Tsai et al [5] assessed occupational stress and burnout in 180 lawyers from the Taipei Bar.…”
