| Core Tip |
The COVID-19 pandemic intensifies alcohol-related challenges in diverse non-urban American communities, impacting health and well-being. A cross-sectional study of 416 participants in 2021 reveals a 62.9% surge in alcohol consumption during the pandemic. Predominantly male (68.8%) and aged 21-29 (34.6%), the cross-section sees decreased low and moderate alcohol consumption but a notable rise in heavy drinking. Alcohol abuse increases by 6.5%, with a 7% surge in those identifying as alcohol abusers/alcoholics. Seeking therapeutic treatment rises by 6.9%. COVID-19 facilitates easier alcohol access (76.0%) but hampers medical care for alcohol-related issues (80.7%). The study underscores the pandemic's profound impact on alcoholism and access to care in non-urban settings. |
