Associations of common mental disorder with alcohol use in the adult general population: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Research has shown that alcohol use and common mental disorders (CMDs) co-occur; however, little is known about how the global prevalence of alcohol use compares across different CMDs. We aimed to (i) report global associations of alcohol use (alcohol use disorder (AUD), binge drinking and consumption) comparing those with and without a CMD, (ii) examine how this differed among those with and without specific types of CMDs and (iii) examine how results may differ by study characteristics.

Methods

We used a systematic review and meta-analysis. Cross-sectional, cohort, prospective, longitudinal and case-control studies reporting the prevalence of alcohol use among those with and without a CMD in the general population were identified using PsycINFO, MEDLINE
