At risk drinking among general practice attenders: prevalence, characteristics and alcohol-related problems

M King

In a sample of attenders screened at a London health centre, 13.6% of male and 1.3% of female respondents were drinking at levels considered unsafe by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and yet revealed few indicators to alert the general practitioner in terms of classical alcohol-related disability. Males, the unemployed, and those of Scottish or Irish origin were over-represented in the 'at risk' group. A significant proportion viewed their general practitioner as a source of help.
