“…Cross-sectionally, SES has been associated separately with alcohol disorders (Windle and Davies, 1999;Caldwell et al, 2008;Rush and Koegl, 2008;Swendsen et al, 2009;Adler and Stewart, 2010;Melotti et al, 2011;Young-Wolff et al, 2011;Green et al, 2012;Karriker-Jaffe, 2013) and with depression and anxiety (de Graaf et al, 2002;Gilman et A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 5 al., Melchior et al, 2007;Cerda et al, 2010). A number of studies have linked socioeconomic factors and comorbid alcohol and mental health disorders (Ross, 1995;Costello et al, 1997;Windle and Davies, 1999;Armstrong and Costello, 2002;de Graaf et al, 2002;Rush and Koegl, 2008;Cerda et al, 2010;Green et al, 2012;Mulia and Zemore, 2012;Pulkki-Raback et al, 2012), but whether these associations differs from the single disorders is unclear: the use of varying measures makes comparisons challenging (Cerda et al, 2010).…”
