Alcohol use may be a coping mechanism for the stressors related to forced displacement. The aim of this study was to investigate levels and determinants of alcohol disorder amongst internally displaced persons (IDPs) in northern Uganda.
A cross-sectional survey with 1206 adult IDPs was conducted in Gulu and Amuru districts. Alcohol disorder was measured using the AUDIT instrument. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore demographic, socio-economic, displacement and trauma exposure determinants of alcohol disorder.
The prevalence of probable alcohol disorder was 17% of all respondents, and 66% amongst those who drank alcohol once a month or more frequently. Factors associated with alcohol disorder included men compared to women, older age, and experiencing a higher number of traumatic events. These findings can help identify potentially vulnerable groups and target responses more effectively.
饮酒可能是应对与被迫流离失所相关压力源的一种应对机制。本研究旨在调查乌干达北部境内流离失所者（IDPs）中酒精障碍的水平和决定因素。
在古卢和阿鲁鲁区进行了一项横断面调查，共调查了 1206 名成年 IDPs。使用 AUDIT 工具测量酒精障碍。多变量逻辑回归用于探讨酒精障碍的人口统计学、社会经济、流离失所和创伤暴露决定因素。
所有受访者中可能存在酒精障碍的比例为 17%，每月或更频繁饮酒的受访者中这一比例为 66%。与酒精障碍相关的因素包括男性与女性相比、年龄较大以及经历更多创伤事件。这些发现有助于确定潜在的弱势群体，并更有效地针对这些群体采取应对措施。
