In order to determine the prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of problem drinking, a total of 10,468 persons aged 15 and above, most residing in a rural district, were interviewed using the CAGE questionnaire as an important element of a general mental health survey. Twenty-three per cent of the respondents admitted that they currently drank alcohol. The prevalence of alcohol drinking was 15% for women and 36% for men. Among those who drank, 16% met the criterion for problem drinking as defined by two or more positive responses to the CAGE. The overall prevalence for problem drinking was found to be 3.7%. Stratified analysis for sex showed that Christian religion, male sex, being ethnically non-Gurage, and smoking were strongly associated with problem drinking in both sexes. Marital status, mental distress and income were found to be associated factors with problem drinking only in men.
为了确定问题饮酒的患病率及其社会人口学相关因素，作为一项普通心理健康调查的重要内容，我们使用CAGE问卷对10468名15岁及以上的人员进行了访谈，这些人员大多居住在一个农村地区。23%的受访者承认他们目前饮酒。女性饮酒患病率为15%，男性为36%。在饮酒者中，16%符合问题饮酒的标准，即对CAGE问卷有两个或更多肯定回答。问题饮酒的总体患病率为3.7%。按性别进行的分层分析表明，基督教信仰、男性、非古拉格族裔和吸烟与男女问题饮酒均密切相关。婚姻状况、精神痛苦和收入仅被发现是男性问题饮酒的相关因素。
