Shuey Speaks with CNN about Rising Rates of Women Seeking Treatment for Alcohol Misuse

CP3 Faculty Affiliate Dr. Bryant Shuey spoke with CNN Health about his recent JAMA Health Forum paper describing rising rates of women obtaining care for alcohol misuse during the pandemic. “Drinking has increased in the last decade among women, particularly during the pandemic, in comparison to men,” Shuey said. “That uptick in drinking is likely contributing to the really serious alcohol-related liver disease, mood disorders, alcohol withdrawal problems and heart and gastric concerns we found in our study.”
