A questionnaire study designed to elicit an impression of the proportion of heavy drinkers among primary care patients, carried out at five primary facilities in Västerbotten County, showed 12 per cent of the patients (17% of the men, 8% of the women) to be probable heavy alcohol consumers. This emphasises the strategically advantageous position of primary care facilities with a view to early intervention. Age was found to be a significant determinant of alcohol consumption, but not place of residence or the reason for consulting.
在韦斯特博滕县的五个初级医疗机构开展了一项问卷调查研究，旨在了解初级保健患者中重度饮酒者的比例。结果显示，12%的患者（男性为17%，女性为8%）可能是重度酒精消费者。这突出了初级保健机构在早期干预方面的战略优势地位。研究发现，年龄是酒精消费的一个重要决定因素，但居住地或就诊原因并非如此。
