Chunk #32 — Results — Associations between rates of negative consequences from drinking and country-level variables — Percent current drinkers, GDP and HDI
Percent current drinkers, GDP and HDI were negatively related to experiencing personal and social consequences from drinking, although, for women, this relationship was only significant for HDI. That is, personal and social negative consequences from drinking were less likely in countries with a higher proportion of drinkers and higher scores on economic and social development. High endorsement consequences, on the other hand, were positively associated with these country-level measures, significant when other variables were in the model for percent current drinkers for both men and women and GDP for men.
