Abstract
A method for multidimensional scaling of group
differences in categorical data patterns was used to
investigate configural relationships among alcohol
use and abuse groups. The analysis resulted in a
model from which two primary etiologic concepts,
plus a moderator, were derived. Exposure is the
concept that summarizes demographic factors related
to level of alcohol use. However, problem
drinking differs from frequent drinking along a dimension
in the demographic domain that is independent
of the exposure dimension. Duration of
frequent alcohol use is a concept that relates to
age, duration, and chronicity variables. The relationship
between resources and responsibilities appears
to be a moderator in the dimension separating
frequent and problem drinking. Low income
and family responsibilities interact to make frequent
alcohol use more likely to be perceived as a
problem.
