Identification of Latent Alcohol Use Groups and Transitions over Time Using a 9-Year Follow-Up Study in the Adult General Population

Conclusion: The detection of three problematic alcohol use groups – with transitions mostly between the different problematic alcohol use groups and not to the group without alcohol problems – points to the need to explicitly address both alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems (AUD criteria) in screening measures and interventions in order not to mis s and to adequately treat all problematic alcohol users. Moreover, explorative findings suggest that prevention measures should also include physical activity.Eur Addict Res
