Work Conditions are Associated with Alcohol Use after Taking into Account Life Conditions Outside of Work: Findings from a French Occupational Health Service.

: Our aim was to examine whether work conditions could be associated with alcohol use even after taking into account life conditions outside of work. : In 2019, 591 consecutive French workers were screened for alcohol use with the (FACE). Ten different work conditions and four life conditions outside of work were assessed with 5-item Likert scales. Sociodemographic factors, smoking status and the were also collected. The associations between each work condition and FACE total score were examined with generalized linear models. : After adjusting for sociodemographic factors, the following work conditions were associated with a decreased FACE total score: "positive and/or grateful feedback on your work" ( = -0.22 (95%CI: -0.37; -0.07),  = 0.004), "time to do your job well" ( = -0.19 (95%CI: -0.35; -0.03),  = 0.019) and "freedom to organize your work" ( = -0.25(95%CI: -0.43; -0.08),  = 0.004). After further adjusting for life conditions outside of work, "positive and/or grateful feedback on your work" ( = -0.18 (95%CI: -0.33; -0.03),  = 0.021) and "freedom to organize your work" ( = -0.20(95%CI: -0.38; -0.02),  = 0.027) remained significantly associated with FACE total score. Additional adjustments for smoking status and burnout did not alter these results. : Life conditions outside of work should not interfere with how improvements work conditions can help reduce alcohol use.
