Territorial characteristics of incidence and prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse of Kostroma region population
Abstract
We present an evaluation and analysis of the changes in and territorial features of substance dependence disorders in the Kostroma Region, based on the 1999–2011 statistical materials that describe the structure and levels of primary incidence and prevalence. We determined the specific features of territorial differences in chronic alcoholism and drug addiction indicators. In addition, we determined their connection with disorder risk factors. No dependence was determined for chronic alcoholism levels on drug addiction indicators. For purposeful prevention of substance dependence disorders in specific districts, it is necessary to study specific disorder and relapse risk factors and the organization of narcological aid.
