representative sample of the United

States population with the primary

purpose of estimating the extent and

distribution of alcohol consumption,

this longitudinal study is to understand

the relationships between alcohol

consumption, alcohol use disorders and

treatment and intervention programs.

The findings will provide valuable

information concerning: (1) Trends in

alcohol use disorders and their related

disabilities in subgroups of the

population of special concern; (2)

identification of subgroups at high risk

for alcohol use disorders that may be

complicated by associated psychological

and medical disabilities; (3) incidence

of alcohol use disorders and their

associated disabilities with a view

toward understanding their natural

history; (4) treatment utilization of

alcohol use disorders in order to

determine unmet treatment need and

linguistic, social, economic and cultural

barriers to treatment; (5) the collegeaged segment of the population at high

risk for binge drinking and its adverse

consequences; and (6) the identification

of safe and hazardous levels of drinking

as they relate to the development of

alcohol use disorders and their

associated disabilities. Frequency of

Response: On occasion. Affected Public:

Individuals. Type of Respondents:

Adults. The annual reporting burden is

as follows: Estimated Number of

Respondents: 48,000; Estimated Number
