Covid Linked to New Alcohol Use Disorder

JAMA Network

About The Study: The results of this study using electronic health records of 2.8 million patients suggest that the risk of a new diagnosis of alcohol use disorder after a COVID-19 diagnosis may not be a consequence of the infection itself but rather associated with the context of the diagnosis and the pandemic.

Authors: Pamela B. Davis, M.D., Ph.D., of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, is the corresponding author.
