National Epidemiologic Survey of Drug Use and Health: Week Three

Week three code

Week three results

As can be seen, according to the CORR model for the variable S2AQ16A in correlation with the variable <S2AQ3>, the following results are obtained 0.05992 <.0001 alcohol consumers decrease alcohol consumption according to age in years, in other words, the older the person the greater the rate of reducing the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

For the second case, in which people who have ever discovered the relationship of habitual drinks that they can drink without having any effect in correlation to age <S2AQ16A> are mentioned, they have to 0.13492 <.0001 which means that the older a person is in years, he tends to know the amount of alcoholic beverages he can drink.

Analyzing the third case <S2BQ1A2> in correlation with <S2AQ3> which mentions the treatment of people who did not have to drink more alcohol to feel the desired effect in the last twelve months, the trend marks an increase from 0.00002 to 0.9976 This means that the number of people who need to drink more alcohol to feel the desired effect is greater than those who do not need this. With this we can confirm that age is a factor that marks the amount of alcohol consumption that people want to ingest.

National Epidemiologic Survey of Drug Use and Health: Week One

Dataset name

National Epidemiologic Survey of Drug Use and Health

Research Question

Is alcohol dependence associated with the emotional state of the individual?

Hypothesis

The social, emotional and personality situation of the individual can influence alcohol consumption.

Keywords

Personality, Family history, Disorders, Medical conditions, Panic disorders, Major depression, Alcohol dependence, Antisocial personality.

Alcoholism and Psychiatric Disorders Resume

The dependence of the individual towards alcohol is mostly associated when the individual's emotional processes are integrated into cognitive activity. According to a study from the University of Oxford, alcohol consumption can bring about a reduction in stress, social fit, as well as social inhibitions.

Likewise, ventured into psychiatric terms according to an NIH publication, it is said that patients who abuse alcohol or have frequent dependence on it are exposed to having several different psychiatric syndromes as a result.

Taking as a starting point the family history, as well as mental disorder, behavior disorder, depression, manic-depressive psychosis, personality disorders, anxiety.

According to (Anthenelli 1997; Modesto-Lowe and Kranzler 1999). When alcoholism and mental disorders coexist, it is more likely that the individual will have difficulties in maintaining abstinence himself.

Extra relevant cultural information on the symptoms that may occur according to the existing blood alcohol levels.

Legal blood alcohol limit that an individual can have ranges from 0.08 to 0.10.

Probable symptoms depending on the amount of alcohol in the blood:

0.05: decrease in inhibitions.

0.10: difficulties in pronunciation.

0.20: euphoria and motor impairment.

0.30: confusion.

0.40: stupor.

0.50: comma.

0.60: respiratory arrest and death.
