Summary

Most primary care doctors consume alcohol, with consumption patterns similar to the general population. However, female doctors show proportionally higher rates of at-risk alcohol consumption.

Context:

Investigating alcohol consumption among healthcare professionals is crucial for understanding potential impacts on patient care and physician well-being.
Primary care physicians face unique stressors that may influence lifestyle choices, including alcohol use.

Purpose:

To determine the prevalence and patterns of personal alcohol consumption among primary care (PC) doctors.
To identify demographic factors associated with alcohol consumption in this professional group.

Summary:

A cross-sectional study surveyed 486 PC doctors, with 227 valid responses (47.7% participation). Results indicate 75.7% of respondents consume alcohol, with occasional use being most common.
While male doctors reported higher overall consumption, female doctors exhibited a proportionally higher rate of excess/risk alcohol consumption (27.7%).

Impact:

Findings suggest alcohol consumption among PC doctors mirrors general population trends, but highlights a specific risk group for targeted intervention.
Understanding these patterns can inform targeted health promotion strategies and support programs for physicians.
