Do US Adults View Drug and Alcohol Addiction as a Health Condition?
Journal of Addiction Medicine
Participants (n=5250), part of Gallup’s random sample of US households, completed a web-based survey that explored their beliefs about addiction. Asked if addiction is a health condition 77% of US adults agree, 16% disagree, and 6% don’t know. Men are more likely to disagree (20%) than women (15%). Those who have struggled with addiction but not in recovery were more likely to disagree (22%) than those in recovery (13%) or with no personal addiction experience (16%). Those with less education and income were more likely to disagree. Those who disagree that addiction is a health condition are less likely to believe it is treatable by doctors (OR=0.3), believe that medications are effective treatments (OR=0.4), or help friends or family with addiction (OR=0.5).
