The methodological quality of each study was scored, and data were extracted from the published reports. Pooled prevalence was estimated, and the publication bias was evaluated.

The pooled prevalence based on AUDIT was 12.4% (AUDIT ≥8; 95% CI: 8.8 to 17.1%) in which the magnitude of hazardous and harmful alcohol use (8.6%; 95% CI: 5.7 to 12.8%; AUDIT 8-19) was significantly higher than dependent alcohol use (2.3%; 95% CI: 1.1 to 4.8%; AUDIT ≥ 20).
