Latent class analysis reveals alcohol dependence and vulnerability in Australian home delivery consumers, highlighting regulatory needs.
Latent class analysis for Australians (n = 500) who drink at high-risk levels and use alcohol home delivery found: Class 1) high-risk drinking, with infrequent home delivery, and Class 2) alcohol-dependence, with frequent delivery. Class 2 had higher odds of alcohol-related harms, delivery while intoxicated, and delivery to continue drinking sessions. Liquor regulation requires protections to reduce online sales to vulnerable populations.
