Abstract:
Taylor et al. (2014) raise an important issue concerning the detection of alcohol problems in older adults. The authors identify a number of age-related factors playing a role in the detection of alcohol problems, such as stigma, the concept of alcohol use disorder diagnoses and their standardized assessment, and drinking levels. They list a comprehensive review of tools for assessing alcohol problems among older adults, including laboratory tests, questionnaires, and interviews.
