为了确定酗酒问题的普遍性和社会人口关系，使用CAGE问卷作为一般心理健康调查的一个重要组成部分，对10 468名15岁及以上的人（大多数居住在农村地区）进行了访谈。23%的答复者承认他们目前饮酒。女性的饮酒率为15%，男性为36%。在那些饮酒者中，16%的人符合问题饮酒标准，即对CAGE有两个或两个以上的积极反应。问题饮酒的总体患病率为3.7%。对性别的分层分析表明，无论男女，基督教信仰、男性、非古拉格族和吸烟都与饮酒问题密切相关。研究发现，只有男性的婚姻状况、精神压力和收入与饮酒问题有关。
In order to determine the prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of problem drinking, a total of 10 468 persons aged 15 and above, most residing in a rural district, were interviewed using the CAGE questionnaire as an important element of a general mental health survey. Twenty-three per cent of the respondents admitted that they currently drank alcohol. The prevalence of alcohol drinking was 15% for women and 36% for men. Among those who drank, 16% met the criterion for problem drinking as defined by two or more positive responses to the CAGE. The overall prevalence for problem drinking was found to be 3.7%. Stratified analysis for sex showed that Christian religion, male sex, being ethnically non-Gurage, and smoking were strongly associated with problem drinking in both sexes. Marital status, mental distress and income were found to be associated factors with problem drinking only in men.
