Prevalence and correlates of depression and alcohol use disorder among adults attending primary health care services in Nepal: a cross sectional study

Abstract

In Nepal, one out of five women attending primary care services have depression and one out of five men have AUD. Primary care settings, therefore, are an important setting for detection and treatment initiation for these conditions. Given that "other" occupation is at increased risk for both conditions, it will be important to assure that treatments are feasible and effective for this high risk group.
