href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1936657422000231?via%3Dihub\" target=\"_blank\">less likely<\/a> to drink alcohol than people without disabilities, a new study led by School of Public Health researchers has found that disabled adults have strikingly higher rates of diagnosed alcohol use disorder (AUD) than non-disabled adults in the United States.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2772724626000545#bib27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Published in the journal <em>Drug and Alcohol Dependence Reports<\/em><\/a>, the study found that adults with disabilities received AUD diagnoses at more than three times the rate of adults without disabilities between 2016-2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study builds upon previous research suggesting that people with disabilities are vulnerable to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/29767342241236027\" target=\"_blank\">excessive drinking<\/a>, and it is the first study to explore differences in AUD diagnoses by disability status and type among commercially insured adults, focusing on a study group of more than 42 million people. Adults with serious mental illness, such as severe depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, had the highest rates of AUD at more than 10 times the rate of non-disabled adults. Adults with acquired brain injuries, such as traumatic brain injury and stroke, had the second-highest rates of AUD, at over 5 times the rate of non-disabled adults. Importantly, adults with all types of disabilities had higher rates of AUD than adults without disabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the study also identified differences by sex; men with disabilities had the highest rates of AUD, but women with disabilities had higher rates of AUD than both non-disabled men and women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As AUD is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niaaa.nih.gov\/publications\/brochures-and-fact-sheets\/understanding-alcohol-use-disorder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chronic condition<\/a> linked to an increased risk for alcohol-related morbidity and mortality, these findings highlight the need for health providers to be aware that patients with disabilities are at high risk for AUD so that they can provide tailored AUD screening and treatment to patients with disabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe disability community is not a homogenous population, and certain subgroups are at even higher risk for AUD and associated adverse outcomes,\u201d says study lead and corresponding author <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/profile\/rachel-adams\/\">Rachel Sayko Adams<\/a> (SPH&#8217;08), research associate professor of health law, policy &amp; management. \u201cWe know that people with serious mental illnesses and traumatic brain injuries are at greater risk of developing AUD, so the high rates of AUD diagnoses that we observed are not surprising, yet they are alarming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study is funded by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/news\/articles\/2023\/researchers-receive-3-4m-grant-to-study-alcohol-use-disorder-among-people-with-disabilities\/\">$3.4 million grant<\/a> that Adams <a href=\"https:\/\/reporter.nih.gov\/project-details\/10777298#details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">received<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarworks.brandeis.edu\/esploro\/profile\/sharon_reif\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sharon Reif<\/a>, professor at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University and coauthor of the study, from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the analysis, Adams, Reif, and colleagues from SPH, Boston Medical Center (BMC), BU Chobanian &amp; Avedisian School of Medicine, the Disability Policy Consortium, and The Ohio State University examined data by disability status and type, and sex, among more than 42 million US adults ages 18-64 with employer-sponsored commercial health insurance from 2016-2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall rates of AUD increased at an annual average of 5.4 percent during the study period, from 85 per 10,000 people in 2016 to 128 per 10,000 people in 2023. AUD diagnosis rates increased from 223.4 per 10,000 in 2016 to 312.2 per 10,000 in 2023 for adults with disabilities, compared to 61 per 10,000 in 2016 to 94.3 per 10,000 in 2023 for adults without disabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver the seven years of our study, diagnosed AUD increased by more than 50 percent with no sign of reversing, with disabled people at more than three times the risk of developing AUD compared to their non-disabled peers,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/profile\/jake-morgan\/\">Jake Morgan<\/a>, research assistant professor of HLPM and study senior author. \u201cThis gap in AUD risk between adults with and without disabilities will not close on its own and demands targeted action from clinicians and public health professionals.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote sphnews-block-bu-pullquote has-image-focus-center-middle\"><div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote-inner\"><figure><\/figure><blockquote><div class=\"container-lockup\"><div class=\"container-icon-outer\"><div class=\"container-icon-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"container-text\"><hr\/><div class=\"quote-sizing\">While we need more information about why people with disabilities are more likely to develop AUD, this increased risk is likely impacted by the higher rates of unemployment, depression, trauma, isolation, chronic pain, and stigma experienced by disabled people.<\/div><footer class=\"caption\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Dennis Heaphy <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>(STH\u201990,\u201923, Questrom\u201984, SPH\u201999), <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>lead researcher and health justice advocate at the Disability Policy Consortium <\/footer><hr\/><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While people with serious mental illness maintained the highest rates of AUD during the entire study period, the results revealed concerning trends among people with other disabilities; for example, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities had lower-than-average rates of AUD among disabled people overall, but experienced an increase in diagnosed AUD rates by an average of more than nine percent each year during the study period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile we need more information about why people with disabilities are more likely to develop AUD, this increased risk is likely impacted by the higher rates of unemployment, depression, trauma, isolation, chronic pain, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthaffairs.org\/doi\/10.1377\/hlthaff.2022.00499\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stigma<\/a> experienced by disabled people,\u201d says study coauthor <a href=\"https:\/\/camdenhealth.org\/dennis-heaphy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dennis Heaphy<\/a> (STH\u201990,\u201923, Questrom\u201984, SPH\u201999), lead researcher and health justice advocate at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dpcma.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Disability Policy Consortium<\/a>, as well as an SPH alum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What the findings revealed about heavy drinking among women with disabilities was striking, the researchers say. The fact that women with disabilities had higher AUD rates than men without disabilities likely reflects the <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/acer.14082\">narrowing gap<\/a> in binge drinking between males and females.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is unprecedented to see such a large group of women with higher rates of AUD compared to men,\u201d says Adams. \u201cIt is critical that clinicians understand that women with disabilities are at particularly high risk of AUD, given that women are uniquely vulnerable to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC7590834\/\" target=\"_blank\">alcohol-related health conditions, injuries<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamanetworkopen\/fullarticle\/2815945\" target=\"_blank\">death<\/a>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers say clinicians should be prepared to recognize AUD among people with all types of disabilities, not just those for which substance use is already known to be a more common issue. By being informed about the unique and varied experiences of people within the broad disability populations, clinicians will be better positioned to inquire about and understand the underlying causes contributing to their patients\u2019 excessive drinking and prevent development of AUD and associated harms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote sphnews-block-bu-pullquote has-image-focus-center-middle\"><div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote-inner\"><figure><\/figure><blockquote><div class=\"container-lockup\"><div class=\"container-icon-outer\"><div class=\"container-icon-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"container-text\"><hr\/><div class=\"quote-sizing\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>These striking findings warrant a call to action for clinicians and public health professionals to recognize that disabled people should not be overlooked as being at risk for excessive drinking and AUD.<\/div><footer class=\"caption\">Rachel Sayko Adams, research associate professor of health law, policy &amp; management<\/footer><hr\/><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This insight can also help prevent clinicians from harboring biases or stigma towards people who are disabled and\/or who experience substance use disorders. Prior research suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthaffairs.org\/doi\/10.1377\/hlthaff.2020.01452\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">only half<\/a> of physicians in the US felt confident about their ability to provide the same quality care to disabled patients as those without disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDue to stigma, there is an erroneous assumption that people with disabilities either do not drink or will not benefit from alcohol treatment,\u201d says Heaphy. \u201cFor disabled people with AUD, this stigma is coupled with bias in the addiction treatment system itself, which creates barriers to care that can be challenging to overcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following these critical findings, the research team is conducting additional studies within both the Medicaid and commercial insurance populations to evaluate if people with disabilities have reduced access to or quality of AUD treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese striking findings warrant a call to action for clinicians and public health professionals to recognize that disabled people should not be overlooked as being at risk for excessive drinking and AUD,\u201d Adams says. \u201cIt is imperative that we train clinicians to screen their patients with disabilities for excessive alcohol use to prevent development of AUD, and to provide person-centered alcohol treatment options for disabled patients when needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study was also coauthored by Yassir Mohamed, PhD student in health services and policy research at SPH, Maureen Stewart, research associate professor of HLPM at SPH; Marc LaRochelle, general internist and clinical investigator at BMC and associate professor at the Chobanian &amp; Avedisian School; John Corrigan, academy professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Ohio State; and Fatema Shafie Khorassani, assistant professor of biostatistics at SPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research reported in this publication was supported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism of the National Institutes of Health under award R01AA031236, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse under award P30DA040500).
