TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Anomie, alcohol abuse and alcohol consumption: a prospective-analysis JO - Journal of studies on alcohol A1 - Lee, D. J. A1 - DeFrank, R. S. A1 - Rose, R. M. SP - 415 EP - 421 VL - 51 IS - 5 N2 - Cross-sectional and 36-month prospective analyses of the relationships among anomie and both alcohol abuse and alcohol consumption patterns provided little support that anomie was directly associated with ethanol ingestion patterns in a sample of 302 male air traffic controllers. This lack of association was observed for self-reported alcohol consumption, interview-established alcohol abuse and biochemical markers of alcohol intake. In addition, anomie was not predictive of change in alcohol use/abuse over 36 months, controlling for baseline levels of alcohol use and abuse and for relevant demographic factors. Measurement of anomie and alcohol use/abuse, the relative importance of anomie in various socioeconomic groups and issues related to prospective research on this topic are discussed.
