The main aim of the study was to assess the level of alcohol abuse and related factors in Kassena-Nankana Municipal of Ghana.
The study was conducted using a cross-sectional survey with 397 participants, using AUDIT to assess alcohol use.
Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS.
Bivariate analysis was done using chi-square and multivariate analysis was done using the multinomial logistics regression model.
Lifetime alcohol use among the study participants was 96.0%; out of this, 51.7% were engaged in possibly dependent drinking, 23.4% involved in harmful drinking, and 24.9% involved in moderate drinking.
Males were more likely to engage in harmful drinking than moderate (AOR = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.175–4.776).
Males again were more likely to engage in dependent drinking than moderate (AOR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.489–5.068).
Christians as compared to traditionalists were less likely engage in dependent drinking than moderate drinking (AOR = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.223–0.940).
Those with tertiary education were less likely to engage in dependent drinking than moderate as compare to those without formal education (AOR = 0.2, 95% CI: 0.076–0.670).
Also employed civil servants were more likely to engage in dependent drinking than moderate as compared to those without employment (AOR = 4.4, 95% CI: 1.187–16.646).
This study revealed a high prevalence of alcohol abuse among the residents of Kassena-Nankana municipality that was predicted by gender, educational level, and religious practice; therefore, there is a need for a public campaign on the harmful effects of alcohol abuse in the municipality.
