Seasonal Variations in Treatment Seeking for Alcohol Use Disorder in the Total Danish Population.
Objective: A minority of all individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) seek treatment. Contextual factors associated with treatment seeking are poorly understood. It is known that the level of alcohol consumed varies between seasons of the year. However, it is not known to what extent treatment seeking for AUD also varies between seasons. This study aims to investigate seasonal variations in treatment seeking for AUD.
Method: The study design was a time-series analysis. The study population consisted of adults age 18 years and older in Denmark seeking AUD treatment. The outcomes were the following two measures of changes in treatment seeking: (a) treatment entry and (b) filled prescription of AUD pharmacotherapy. Data came from the National Alcohol Treatment Register on treatment entries for specialist addiction care and National Prescription Registry for filled prescriptions on AUD pharmacotherapies from 2013 to 2018. Analysis was a segmented negative binomial regression.
Results: Treatment seeking for AUD showed clear seasonal variations, with the lowest numbers in December and from March to April. In January, treatment seeking was highest, with a decline around July and a subsequent slight rise from August to October.
Conclusions: The findings emphasize the importance of contextual factors when developing and evaluating interventions to increase treatment seeking for AUD.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs began in 1940 as the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol. It was founded by Howard W. Haggard, M.D., director of Yale University’s Laboratory of Applied Physiology. Dr. Haggard was a physiologist studying the effects of alcohol on the body, and he started the Journal as a way to publish the increasing amount of research on alcohol use, abuse, and treatment that emerged from Yale and other institutions in the years following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. In addition to original research, the Journal also published abstracts summarizing other published documents dealing with alcohol. At Yale, Dr. Haggard built a large team of alcohol researchers within the Laboratory of Applied Physiology—including E.M. Jellinek, who became managing editor of the Journal in 1941. In 1943, to bring together the various alcohol research projects conducted by the Laboratory, Dr. Haggard formed the Section of Studies on Alcohol, which also became home to the Journal and its editorial staff. In 1950, the Section was renamed the Center of Alcohol Studies.
