The burden of alcohol-related caring for others in Australia in the 2021 pandemic period

CONCLUSIONS: One in five adults reported caring for drinkers in the previous 12 months, with this associated with negative consequences for those providing care. Service providers, health promotion practitioners and policy makers should focus upon younger age groups, those who live in regional areas, and those born in Australia who are at greater risk of being burdened by caregiving due to others' alcohol use.PMID:38445854 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00261
