    This study identified key factors differentiating alcohol abuse from nonabuse in rural males. Findings highlight differences in tolerance of deviance, religious fundamentalism, and education levels for predicting alcohol abuse.

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Psychology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Alcohol abuse is a significant public health concern, particularly in rural communities.
    • Understanding predictors of alcohol abuse is crucial for developing targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify factors that predict alcohol abuse versus nonabuse in rural American males.
    • To inform the development of education, information, and treatment strategies for rural areas.

    Main Methods:

    • A sample of 148 rural males (ages 18-60) from 32 Texas villages participated.
    • Data collected through interviews and scales measuring achievement need, alienation, tolerance of deviance, religious fundamentalism, general deviation, mobility, age, family size, and education.
    • Alcohol abuse and nonabuse were determined by quantity consumed, drinking circumstances, related problems, and community estimates.

    Main Results:

    • Significant differences were found between abusers and nonabusers on measures of tolerance of deviance, religious fundamentalism, general deviation, mobility, age, and education.
    • Analysis of variance identified these demographic and psychological factors as key differentiators.

    Conclusions:

    • Tolerance of deviance, religious fundamentalism, general deviation, mobility, age, and education are significant predictors of alcohol abuse in rural males.
    • These findings can guide the creation of effective prevention and treatment programs tailored to rural populations.
