“…In terms of gender, data obtained in the present research are similar to those obtained in the three previous studies conducted in Spain [14–16], where a greater prevalence of use among males was already revealed. In addition, the results of our study are in accordance with those provided by EDADES [4] and ESHS [31], regarding the Spanish population.…”

“…The prevalence of hazardous alcohol use indicated in this study, compared to published global data of the Spanish population, is higher in both males and females. Additionally, Gual [31] pointed out that the percentage of the Spanish general population who drank over the risk thresholds was 22.1% (32.7% in males and 11.3% in females). This fact significantly contrasts with data obtained in the European Survey of Health in Spain (ESHS) [32] published in 2016, which showed that 1.6% of the population had risky alcohol use (> 40 g/day in males and > 20 g/day in females).…”

Background Alcohol use by health care professionals is one of the potential factors that may affect the prevention of hazardous drinking in Primary Care (PC). The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of hazardous alcohol use by PC professionals and assess the existing relationship between socio-demographic and occupational variables of PC professionals and their alcohol use. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational, multicenter study was performed. Location: PC sites of the Spanish National Health Care System (NHS). Participants: Physicians and nurses, who completed an online questionnaire intended to identify the pattern of hazardous alcohol use through the AUDIT-C test. The study population was recruited through random sampling stratified by regions of the PC sites in the NHS. The primary measurements: Frequency of alcohol use, number of drinks containing alcohol on a typical day, frequency of six or more drinks on one occasion. Results One thousand seven hundred sixty professionals completed the questionnaire. Hazardous alcohol use was detected in 27.80% (95% CI: 25.5–29.7) of PC providers. The prevalence of hazardous alcohol use was higher in males (34.2%) [95% CI: 30.4–37.6] and professionals aged 56 years or over (34.2%) [95% CI: 28.2–40.2]. The multiple logistic regression analysis revealed a higher hazardous use in males (OR = 1.52; 95% CI: 1.22–1.90), PC physicians (OR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.01–2.02) and professionals with more time worked (OR = 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01–1.05). Conclusion Our study shows the current prevalence of hazardous alcohol use among Spanish PC providers, revealing a higher percentage of hazardous alcohol use in healthcare professionals compared to the Spanish general population. Further interventions are required to increase the awareness of negative consequences derived from alcohol use among PC professionals and its impact on the clinical setting.

“…A study by Gual et al, enrolling 4250 individuals (18–65 years of age), showed that, similar to Poland, alcohol consumption is highly prevalent in Spain and 22.1% of the adult population is classified as risky drinkers, with a higher proportion in males. However, the majority of the studied population agreed that GPs are well prepared for treating alcohol problems and this belief was stronger among females and older individuals [ 21 ].…”

Alcohol Drinking Pattern Is Associated with Demographic Features of Primary Health Care Patients in Poland: A Cross-Sectional Study

et al. 2018

BackgroundThe Optimizing Delivery of Health Care Interventions (ODHIN) project focused on the implementation of screening and brief intervention for hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption in primary health care. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether alcohol drinking pattern is associated with demographic features of primary health care patients in Poland and if it is possible to identify groups at highest risk for hazardous and harmful drinking.Material/MethodsThe study enrolled 8805 adult (mean age 54.98±16.94, M/F – 3581/5224) patients reporting to 30 general practitioners working in 10 primary health care units located in urban and partially rural areas in Poland. The shortened, 3-item version of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) was the screening tool used.ResultsPlace of residence was significantly associated with higher odds of hazardous and harmful drinking diagnosis, referred to as AUDIT-C (+). Age and sex were significantly associated with AUDIT-C (+) and suspicion of alcohol dependence, referred to as AUDIT-C ≥8 scores. Logistic regression revealed that males had 5-fold higher odds for hazardous and harmful drinking diagnosis and almost 28-fold higher odds for suspected alcohol dependence compared to females.ConclusionsDemographic features are associated with drinking pattern of primary health patients in Poland. Young males and those inhabiting rural areas are at highest risk of being hazardous or harmful drinkers and of being alcohol dependent. There is a growing need for development of national guidelines to address the prevention of alcohol-related health problems by general practitioners.

S egún el Observatorio Español de la Droga y las Toxicomanías (2017), entre 2009-2015, más del 90% de los españoles habían utilizado alcohol al menos una vez en su vida y el 9,3% de la población consumía alcohol a diario (Gual et al, 2016). En España, el consumo de alcohol per cápita entre los individuos de 15 o más años de edad se estima en 11,2 litros por año (Organización Mundial de la Salud-OMS, 2014) y se considera que el alcoholismo es un importante problema de salud pública (Pérez, 2002).…”
