Predictors of early and sustained cessation of heavy drinking over 5 years among adult primary care patients

Addiction Jun 27, 2021

Palzes VA, Kline-Simon AH, Satre DD, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study over 5 years with the aim to determine the factors linked with early and sustained cessation of heavy drinking. They assessed adults reporting heavy drinking during primary care-based alcohol screening between June 01, 2013 and May 31, 2014 (n = 85,434; 41% female; 34% non-White; mean age: 50.3 years). Of this large, diverse sample of patients in a California USA healthcare system, nearly two-thirds achieved early and sustained cessation of heavy drinking. Sustained cessation of heavy drinking was more frequently observed among vulnerable subgroups (ie, non-White patients and those with psychiatric disorders), patients who received routine primary care, and those who received addiction treatment relative to other participants.
