Abstract Purpose Previous evidence indicates significant associations between alcohol-use disorders (AUD) and depressive disorders and their strong links with social conditions. This study aims to investigate the association between AUD and major depressive episode (MDE) across various socio-economic groups. Methods Data from the 2014 Thai National Health Examination Survey was obtained containing a random sample of 13,177 adults aged > 20 years from the whole population. The Alcohol-Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to classify respondents into non-problem, hazardous drinking (score 8-15) and harmful-dependent drinking (score 16-40). MDE was identified using questions based on the DSM-IV. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using logistic regression to determine the strength of associations. Results The prevalence of hazardous, harmful-dependent drinking and MDE was 10.3%, 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively. The association between MDE and AUD was modified by education level, wealth index and area of residence, with education having the largest effect (AOR=1.23, 95% CI: 0.55, 2.76 among those completing primary school only and AOR=15.19, 95% CI: 9.5, 24.29 among those completing secondary school or higher). Conclusion Socio-economic factors modify the association between alcohol-use disorder and depressive disorder among Thai people.

The association between having a sibling diagnosed with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and risk for suicide attempt may be attributable to shared genetic liability between AUD and suicidal behavior, effects of environmental exposure to a sibling’s AUD, or both. To distinguish between these alternatives, we conducted a series of Cox regression models using data derived from Swedish population-based registers with national coverage. Among full sibling pairs (656,807 males and 607,096 females), we found that, even after we accounted for the proband’s AUD status, the proband’s risk for suicide attempt was significantly elevated when the proband’s sibling was affected by AUD. Furthermore, the proband’s risk for suicide attempt was consistently higher when the sibling’s AUD registration had occurred more recently. Our findings provide evidence for exposure to sibling AUD as an environmental risk factor for suicide attempt and suggest that clinical outreach may be warranted following a sibling’s diagnosis with AUD.
