The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between problem drinking, health services utilization, and the cost of medical care in a community-based setting. In addition to descriptive analyses, these relationships were estimated with multivariate regression models. Data were collected in 1996 and 1997 through a standardized self-administered questionnaire designed to obtain important information on demographics, health status, morbidity, health care utilization, drug and alcohol use, and related lifestyle behaviors. The survey instrument also included the 10-item Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST-10), which was used to identify problematic alcohol users (PAUs). The empirical findings indicated that PAUs had a significantly higher number of outpatient visits, more emergency room episodes, and more admissions to a hospital than a combined group of nondrinkers and nonproblematic alcohol users (NPAUs). Analyses of total health care cost showed that the estimated differential in total cos t for PAUs during the past year, including the interaction effect with problematic drug use, was $367. The total cost (full effect) for PAUs was composed of a main effect ($984) and an interaction effect (-$617). These findings have implications for substance abuse interventions and health care policy.
