Decreases in alcohol problems and increased Alcoholics Anonymous membership

Abstract

In this study, the impact of changes in rates of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) membership and per capita consumption of alcohol on changes in rates of cirrhosis, drinking-driving charges and liquor act charges are examined for the 10 provinces of Canada over the period 1974-1983. Neither measure was significantly related to changes in cirrhosis rates. However, AA membership and consumption changes were associated, in an interactive manner, with changes in drinking-driving and liquor act charges.
