失业会影响临床上有意义的酗酒发生率的假设是使用流行病学集水区项目的小组数据进行检验的。结果表明，那些被解雇的人比那些没有被解雇的人更容易发生临床上严重的酒精滥用。然而，在总就业率出人意料地低的社区中，就业人员成为酗酒者的风险降低。简要讨论了研究结果对经济政策和心理健康服务的影响。
The hypothesis that job loss affects the incidence of clinically significant alcohol abuse is tested using panel data from the Epidemiologic Catchment Area project. Results suggest that the incidence of clinically significant alcohol abuse is greater among those who have been laid off than among those who have not. However, employed persons in communities in which total employment is unexpectedly low are at reduced risk of becoming alcohol abusers. The implications of the results for economic policy and for mental health services are discussed briefly.
