Abstract

Purpose: The aim was to examine the association between a wide range of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) experienced in childhood, adulthood or both, and hazardous alcohol use, including the relationship between the total sum of PTEs and hazardous alcohol use in middle aged and elderly adults. Previous studies have predominantly focused on childhood PTEs or isolated PTEs and more severe alcohol problems, little focus has been given to middle aged and elderly adults with hazardous alcohol use and PTE experiences.

Methods: We used logistic regression analysis to study the relation between a broad range of PTEs and hazardous alcohol defined by the alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT) in 19,128 women and men aged 40 years and above participating in the seventh survey of the Norwegian population-based Tromsø Study in 2015-2016. Alcohol abstainers were excluded from the analyses.

Results: Experience of violence, sexual abuse, bullying, painful or frightening medical and dental treatments, and serious illness or accident by a loved one were associated with higher odds for hazardous alcohol use. Further, there were higher odds of hazardous alcohol use per additional experienced PTE (OR = 1.22, 95% CI 1.20-1.25, p ≤ 0.001).

Conclusion: PTEs were prevalent among participants who had a hazardous alcohol use. Also, most of the PTEs occurring in childhood, adulthood or both were independently related to hazardous alcohol use. Moreover, the findings indicate an association in the relationship between the number of PTEs and hazardous alcohol use.

期刊介绍： Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology is intended to provide a medium for the prompt publication of scientific contributions concerned with all aspects of the epidemiology of psychiatric disorders - social, biological and genetic. In addition, the journal has a particular focus on the effects of social conditions upon behaviour and the relationship between psychiatric disorders and the social environment. Contributions may be of a clinical nature provided they relate to social issues, or they may deal with specialised investigations in the fields of social psychology, sociology, anthropology, epidemiology, health service research, health economies or public mental health. We will publish papers on cross-cultural and trans-cultural themes. We do not publish case studies or small case series. While we will publish studies of reliability and validity of new instruments of interest to our readership, we will not publish articles reporting on the performance of established instruments in translation. Both original work and review articles may be submitted.
