Abstract

We examined the relationship between substance use, marital status, and perceived overall health using national data from a sample of 1,506 retired active-duty veterans. We found that binge drinking and heavy alcohol use among widowed veterans have a negative effect on overall health compared to married veterans who did not use alcohol in the past month. We found that non-binge and binge drinking have a positive effect on perceptions of overall health among divorced or separated veterans compared to those who are married and did not use alcohol in the past month. We discuss these findings and address clinical implications.

不同婚姻状况的退伍军人对整体健康差异的看法。

我们利用全国 1,506 名退役现役老兵的样本数据，研究了药物使用、婚姻状况和总体健康感知之间的关系。我们发现，与过去一个月未饮酒的已婚退伍军人相比，酗酒和大量饮酒会对丧偶退伍军人的整体健康产生负面影响。我们发现，与上个月未饮酒的已婚退伍军人相比，非酗酒和酗酒对离婚或分居退伍军人的总体健康状况有积极影响。我们对这些发现进行了讨论，并探讨了其临床意义。
