Objective: The authors examined racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in receiving treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted that included adults (≥18 years) with AUD from the All of Us Controlled Tier database v7. Outcomes were lifetime receipt of FDA-approved medications (disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone), psychotherapy (individual, family, and group-based session), and combination treatment (medication and psychotherapy).
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed trends in marijuana and heavy alcohol use among US adults from 2002 to 2019, highlighting a decline in heavy alcohol use and a rise in marijuana use, while concurrent use of both remained stable.
- Higher education levels correlated with increased heavy alcohol use, while certain demographics, including older age, female gender, and non-White ethnicity, showed varying odds of substance use patterns.
- The findings suggest that marijuana use does not significantly change in response to fluctuations in tobacco and alcohol consumption.
