Randomized trial examines how neighborhood cohesiveness and residency duration influence drinking behavior in US adults, highlighting potential risks.

Key Points

This research investigates the relationship between neighborhood cohesion, length of residency, and alcohol consumption among adults aged 25 to 65 in the United States.
Data analyzed from the 2013–2018 National Health Interview Survey (N=78,398)
Neighborhood cohesion assessed with a four-item index measuring trust and community belonging
Survey-weighted logistic regression models evaluated binge and heavy drinking rates.
Higher neighborhood cohesion linked to increased odds of both binge drinking (OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.08–1.14) and heavy drinking (OR=1.14, 95% CI: 1.08–1.19).
Residents living for 4–10 years and ≥10 years had 11% and 13% lower odds of binge drinking compared to those living <4 years.
Cohesion–heavy drinking association strengthened among residents of ≥10 years (OR=1.13, 95% CI: 1.01–1.26).
