Alcohol habits in Sweden during 1997-2005 measured with the AUDIT
Nordic Journal of Psychiatry, Volume 61, Issue 6 2007 , pages 466 - 470




This study aimed to describe changes in Swedish alcohol habits during a period of "harmonization" with European Union alcohol policy.


Results were somewhat diverse, but significant changes in alcohol habits occurred among two subgroups of the population: for women and the age group between 28 and 60 years, AUDIT scores peaked in 2001.

The results are discussed in relation to the changes made in Swedish alcohol policy during the investigation period.
