摘要：

Problem drinkers applying for treatment at both outpatient and inpatient treatment programs were compared with problem drinkers identified in a general population survey. The characteristics in which these populations differ were interpreted as factors contributing to the demand for treatment and, thus, indicative of the need for alcohol treatment. Older problem drinkers appear to apply for treatment more frequently, and the same is true for divorced and unemployed or disabled problem drinkers. More important, age, marital status, and employment status were found to contribute to the demand for alcohol treatment independent of alcohol consumption. It can be concluded from this study that the demand for alcohol treatment is not determined by alcohol consumption alone, suggesting that alcohol treatment should not only focus on alcohol consumption but also focus on problems related to marital and employment status in order to prevent future need for alcohol treatment.
