Alcohol use among the elderly

The session includes an exploration of the relationship between alcohol use and anxiety among both young people and the elderly, focusing on treatment outcomes and the importance of support for older adults. Contributions include a discussion on age-related loss of autonomy, residential instability, and how these factors affect alcohol use, with suggestions for improving interventions and services. Another presentation examines patient characteristics and predictors of treatment outcomes in older adults receiving routine care for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Additionally, a realist evaluation investigates effective elements in interventions aimed at reducing problematic alcohol use among older adults, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches in this demographic.
