abstract="<b>Aims:</b> This study describes changes in alcohol habits in age and gender strata among the Swedish general population during the 21-year period following the Swedish EU membership in 1995. <b>Methods:</b> The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was distributed as a postal questionnaire to randomly selected cross-sectional samples every fourth year, starting in 1997. <b>Results:</b> Six samples were included in this study. A comparison between 2014 and 2018 showed a tendency to decreasing average total AUDIT scores, particularly among men and in the youngest age group (Cohen's <i>d</i> = 0.28). <b>Conclusion:</b> The results should be understood in the context of declining response rates in this type of survey.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
