Abstract:
The main goal of this study was to identify the prevalence of alcohol use and associations with selected variables among clients in a primary healthcare setting. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was carried out using structured questionnaires to measure the pattern of alcohol consumption, quality of life and common mental disorders. The results showed that men, people between 18 and 40 years old, with income between $300.00 and 1200.00 and smokers were at a higher risk of problematic alcohol use. Healthcare professionals should include alcohol screening questions to identify the hazardous consumption of alcohol at an early stage and prevent negative consequences.
