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.
将门诊和住院治疗项目中申请治疗的问题饮酒者与在一般人群调查中识别出的问题饮酒者进行了比较。这些人群存在差异的特征被解释为导致治疗需求的因素，因此表明需要酒精治疗。年龄较大的问题饮酒者似乎更频繁地申请治疗，离婚、失业或残疾的问题饮酒者也是如此。更重要的是，发现年龄、婚姻状况和就业状况对酒精治疗需求的影响独立于饮酒量。从这项研究可以得出结论，酒精治疗需求并非仅由饮酒量决定，这表明酒精治疗不仅应关注饮酒量，还应关注与婚姻和就业状况相关的问题，以预防未来对酒精治疗的需求。
