Regional Variation in Alcoholism Rates in Britain: The Effect of Provision and Use of Services

R W LATCHAM and N KREITMAN

Medical Research Council, Unit for Epidemiological Studies in Psychiatry, University Department of Psychiatry, Royal Edinburgh Hospital Morningside Park, Edinburgh EH10 5HF, UK.

Latcham R W (MRC Unit for Epidemiological Studies in Psychiatry, University Department of Psychiatry, Royal Edinburgh Hospital, Morningside Park, Edinburgh EH10 5HF, UK) and Kreitman N. Regional variation in alcoholism rates in Britain: The effect of provision and use of services. International Journal of Epidemiology 1984, 13: 442– 446. The range of variation in Scottish and English psychiatric admission rates for alcoholism is represented by the Highlands, Tayside and Kent. When other medical and psychiatric services, notably psychiatric extramural services, are taken into account, the considerable variation almost disappears. With the background of recently reported similar average alcohol consumption in England and Scotland, these results are discussed with respect to variations in geography, admission policy and provision of services.
