Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 8yR0xKSu. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of at-risk drinking using varying alcohol use criteria. Methods. A period prevalence survey was conducted in 22 primary care practices (n=19 372 adults). Resulsts. The frequency of at-risk alcohol use varied from 7.5% (World Health Organization criteria) to 19.7% (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism criteria). A stepwise logistic model using National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism criteria found male gender, current tobacco use, never married status, retirement and unemployment to be significant predictors of at-risk alcohol use. Conclusions. Public Health policy needs to move to a primary care paradigm focusing on identification and treatment of at-risk drinkers.
