[Comment] Cultural specificity in alcohol use disorders
15:42 EDT 10 Oct 2017 | The Lancet
In their Seminar on alcohol use disorders, Jason Connor and colleagues1 summarise the risk of alcohol consumption to health for the drinker and for whole populations. The authors offer useful advice, insofar as the evidence base allows, on how clinicians should respond to and try to change a patient's hazardous and harmful drinking pattern. The evidence base is from a narrow range of the world's cultures. However, for some interventions—eg, mutual support groups—the principles and practice often vary with culture.
