SORYACHO ASAR ANI HACHER AMCHO SHODH (SAAHAS 2)

PROJECT OVERVIEW

In Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), Alcohol Use Disorders or AUDs account for high levels of disability. In India, there are disproportionately high rates of AUDs and alcohol-attributable mortality relative to the volume of alcohol consumed per capita. Despite the magnitude of the problem, there is no research evidence on the long-term outcomes of AUDs in India and AUDs remain a low priority on the health policy agenda.

Through this study, Sangath endeavoured to understand the evolution of drinking patterns and the long-term physical, psychological and social outcomes of AUDs in India. The project had seen excellent follow-up rates from participants of the previous SAAHAS project. In 2006, baseline data was collected in SAAHAS, a cross-sectional survey of alcohol use in rural and urban centres in North Goa, India.
