Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives： This study was intended to examine the prevalence and correlates of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition(DSM-IV) criteria in normal adult population using data from the Korean Epidemiologic Catchment Area(KECA) study.
Methods： Data were derived from 6,275 household residents over 18 to 64 years of age who responded to KECA survey. Prevalence and correlates were assessed by World Health Organization’s(WHO) Korean Composite International Diagnostic Interview version 2.1(K-CIDI).
Results： The overall weighted prevalence of alcohol abuse was 7.1%/2.0%/1.2%(lifetime/12 month/1 month). The overall weighted prevalence of alcohol dependence was 10.2%/5.1%/3.5%(lifetime/12 month/1 month). The significant correlates of alcohol abuse were male, rural haitats. Those of alcohol dependence were male, being divorced/separated/widowed.
Conclusion： The prevalence of alcohol abuse was much lower than that of the study performed by DIS in 1984. The change may be related to the sociocultural change during 15 years.
