Psychoactive substance use, including alcohol and illicit drugs, poses substantial health risks. A community-based study in rural areas of Mysuru district, employed the AUDIT-C score to assess alcohol dependence. The prevalence of alcohol dependence among rural residents was 77.5%, with males (94.8%) exhibiting higher rates than females (5.1%), although not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Sociodemographic factors showed no significant association (P > 0.05) with alcohol consumption.
