1 Mental Health and Alcohol Use Mental Health Mental health has been defined as a state of successful performance of mental function resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with other people, and the ability to adapt to change and to cope with adversity. 1 In 24, the World Health Organization published its first report on mental health promotion, conceptualizing mental health as not merely the absence of mental illness but the presence of a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. 2 Mental illness has been defined as a separate concept. Mental disorders are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior (or some combination thereof) associated with distress and/or impaired functioning. 2 Mental disorders are common in the United States. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans 18 years or older about one in four adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. 3,4 Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion about six percent, or one in 17 who suffer from a serious mental illness. 4 In addition, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the United States. 5 Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder meet criteria for two or more disorders, with severity strongly related to comorbidity In the United States, mental disorders are diagnosed based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV). 6 The prevalence of mental illness differs between Whites and other racial/ethnic populations. The prevalence of any psychiatric disorder in the past 12 months is 15% for African Americans, 9% for Asian Americans, 16% for Latinos, and 21% for Whites. 7 Although African Americans and Latinos have a lower risk of lifetime prevalence of mental disorders than do Whites 8, they tend to have a longer course of illness and disability from mental illness. 9 Additionally, racial/ethnic minority populations are disproportionately represented in vulnerable populations, such as the homeless and incarcerated 1 and are underserved in the mental health care system. Furthermore, racial/ethnic minorities may be disproportionately affected by barriers such as limited English proficiency, remote geographic settings, stigma, fragmented services, cost, co-morbidity of mental illness and chronic diseases, cultural understanding of health care services, and incarceration. 11 Mental health and mental illnesses can be influenced by positive or negative social determinants of health, which include income, housing, stress, early childhood experiences, social exclusion, occupation, education level, sanitation, social support, discrimination (for example, racism), and lack of access to resources. Negative determinants are often Page 137
2 disproportionately distributed among people of color, placing them at greater risk for the development of mental illness. 12,13 In the last decade there have been major advancements in ongoing mental health surveillance as a domain of public health surveillance. 14 Recent studies suggest that primary care settings provide a unique opportunity for early detection and treatment of common mental disorders by identifying early warning signs and mitigating risk factors. 15 Mental Health and Receipt of Mental Health Services In 27, 8.9% of Alameda County adults experienced psychological distress in the past year. Women were much more likely to report psychological distress than men (11.% versus 6.7%). Adults below 4 years were over twice as likely to experience psychological distress than older adults (13.7% and 5.5% respectively). Table 7.1: Psychological Distress in the Past Year, Adults 18 Years and Older % LCL UCL Alameda County California Gender Female Male Age Group In Alameda County, nearly one in five (19.4%) adults reported that they needed professional help for emotional health or alcohol use in 27. A higher percentage of women perceived the need to see a professional for mental health issues than men (22.7% versus 15.8%). The percentage of adults who felt the need to see a mental health professional varied by age group as well nearly one in four (24.5%) adults years needed help, compared to 17.5% of older non-elderly adults, and only 9.6% of those 65 years or older. There were also racial/ethnic differences in mental health African Americans were about three times as likely to report the need to see a professional for their mental health as Asian/Pacific Islanders (33.1% versus 1.7%). Over one in five Whites (21.8%) and 15.6% of Latinos reported the need to see a professional for their mental health.

3 Among adults who reported needing professional help for mental or alcohol use issues, 39.2% did not receive help. Women were more likely to not receive needed mental health services than men (4.8% versus 36.8% respectively). Adults 18-4 years and those 65 years or older (43.3% and 4.% respectively) were more likely to not receive needed mental health services compared to adults 4-64 years (33.9%). Among adolescents years, 14.1% had received psychological counseling in 27.

Rates were highest among males years and females years. The most common primary diagnoses among both age groups were drug abuse, neurotic disorders, non-organic psychoses, and alcohol dependence. Alcohol dependence is less common among the younger age groups.

6 Alcohol Use: Binge Drinking Binge drinking is a common pattern of excessive alcohol use in the United States. The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines binge drinking as a pattern of drinking that brings a person s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to.8 grams percent or above. This typically happens when men consume five or more drinks, and when women consume four or more drinks, in about two hours. Most people who binge drink are not alcohol dependent. 1,2 According to national surveys, approximately 92% of U.S. adults who drink excessively report binge drinking in the past 3 days. 3 Although college students commonly binge drink, 7% of binge drinking episodes involve adults 25 years or older. 4 The prevalence of binge drinking among men is two times the prevalence among women. 5 Binge drinkers are 14 times more likely to report alcohol-impaired driving than non-binge drinkers. 4 About 9% of the alcohol consumed by youth under the age of 21 years in the United States is in the form of binge drinks. 6 About 75% of the alcohol consumed by adults in the United States is in the form of binge drinks. 6 The proportion of current drinkers that binge is highest among those 18-2 years (51%). 4 Binge drinking is associated with many health problems, including but not limited to unintentional injuries (for example, car crashes, falls, burns, drowning); intentional injuries (for example, firearm injuries, sexual assault, domestic violence); alcohol poisoning; sexually transmitted diseases; and unintended pregnancy. It is also linked to children born with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders; high blood pressure, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases; liver disease; neurological damage; sexual dysfunction; and poor control of diabetes. 1 Evidence-based interventions to prevent binge drinking and its adverse consequences include increasing alcoholic beverage costs and excise taxes; limiting the number of retail alcohol outlets that sell alcoholic beverages in a given area; consistent enforcement of laws against underage drinking and alcohol-impaired driving; and screening and counseling for alcohol misuse Table 7.6: Binge Drinking Comparison HP21 12 Alameda County California 13 Binge Drinking Prevalence (Percentage) Men were 1.4 times as likely to binge drink in the past year than women (31.9% and 23.4% respectively). Figure 7.4: Adult Binge Drinking Prevalence by Gender Percentage Female Male Page 142
7 Binge drinking is substantially more common among young adults years than older adults. Over half (51.4%) of adults years reported binge drinking in the past year, a significantly higher percentage than those 4-64 years (21.1%). Among those years, over one-third (35.5%) reported binge drinking. Those 65 years or older were significantly less likely to binge drink than younger adults (11.% and 51.4% respectively). Figure 7.5: Adult Binge Drinking Prevalence by Age Group Percentage In Alameda County, 27.5% of adults reported binge drinking in the past year. The multirace group had a significantly higher rate of binge drinking (57.3%) than all other racial/ethnic groups except Whites, who had the next highest rate (33.6%). Asian/Pacific Islanders had the lowest binge drinking prevalence (17.4%); rates for African Americans and Latinos were 2.9% and 27.6% respectively.
