作者对退伍军人事务部护理之家护理单位（VA NHCU）收治的患者进行了一项回顾性研究。 36%的入院者普遍存在终生饮酒问题，其中三分之二有活跃的酒精问题。 问题饮酒者比没有酒精问题的NHCU居民更年轻，目前结婚的情况也更少。 47%有严重酗酒问题的人恢复了独立生活。 结果表明，VA NHCU可能是一个重要的过渡医院和家庭之间的老年患者酒精问题，提供了一个机会，识别和干预。
The authors conducted a retrospective study of problem drinking among persons admitted to a Veterans Affairs Nursing Home Care Unit (VA NHCU). Lifetime problem drinking was prevalent in 36% of admissions, two-thirds of whom had active alcohol problems. Problem drinkers were younger and less often currently married than NHCU residents without alcohol problems. Forty-seven per cent of persons with active alcohol problems returned to independent living. The results suggest that VA NHCUs may be an important transition between hospital and home for elderly patients with alcohol problems, affording an opportunity for identification and intervention.
