The Scottish Family Health Study (GS) is a family-based cohort recruited from the general population of Scotland from 2006–2011 (N=24,084) (Smith et al., 2013). A subset of GS participants responded to a re-contact in 2015 (Navrady et al., 2018) and provided additional information on mental health, which included information on alcohol misuse (N = 17,461).
