Information relating to drinking patterns was obtained by interviewing 3755 individuals comprising 85.5% of a stratified random sample of Northern Ireland electors. The prevalence of problem drinking (defined according to pre-determined criteria) was studied in relation to 11 selected socio-demographic factors. Using a multifactor statistical method which differed from that employed in earlier reports it was found that separate prevalence models were required for males and females. Male prevalence was found to depend (in rank order of importance) on age, social class, area of residence and religious denomination. Although very few (0.5%) women were classed as problem drinkers, the evidence available suggests that their prevalence pattern is quantitatively and qualitatively different from that observed in males.
通过对3755名个体进行访谈获取饮酒模式相关信息，这些个体占北爱尔兰选民分层随机样本的85.5%。针对11个选定的社会人口学因素，研究了问题饮酒（根据预先确定的标准定义）的患病率。采用一种不同于早期报告中所使用的多因素统计方法，发现男性和女性需要分别建立患病率模型。结果发现，男性患病率（按重要性排序）取决于年龄、社会阶层、居住地区和宗教信仰。虽然极少（0.5%）女性被归类为问题饮酒者，但现有证据表明，她们的患病率模式在数量和质量上均与男性不同。
