title: Prevalence of alcohol problems among selected AIDS risk groups: United States, 1988.
abstract: Estimates of the prevalence of various alcohol problems (DSM-III-R alcohol abuse/dependence, heavier drinking, and consuming 5 or more/9 or more drinks per occasion) were examined for a general population group of 29,155 persons age 18 years and older at self-reported risk for contracting AIDS by several definitions. All AIDS risk groups showed elevated risk for alcohol problems. Results are presented separately for males and females and for various demographic groups (age, marital status, family income, education, and race).
