[Publication] Dr. Wakabayashi et al. published Loneliness and Increased Hazardous Alcohol Use: Data from a Nationwide Internet Survey with 1-year Follow-up, 2021-2022.
The paper “Loneliness and Increased Hazardous Alcohol Use: Data from a Nationwide Internet Survey with 1-year Follow-up, 2021-2022” by Dr. Wakabayashi et al. has been published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
This paper describes discusses whether loneliness developed hazardous alcohol use with cohort data from a national Internet survey in Japan conducted in February 2021 and 2022.
The result showed loneliness was associated with increased severity of hazardous alcohol drinking patterns, independent of objective social isolation, psychological distress, and other potential confounders. We found that nondrinkers scored slightly higher on loneliness than low- and medium-risk drinkers. Nondrinkers had much lower loneliness scores than high-risk drinkers and those with probable alcohol dependence. Providing appropriate support to people experiencing high degrees of high loneliness will have a positive impact on the prevention of potential alcohol dependence.
