Sex-dependent predictors of binge drinking among males and females in North Dakota
The predictors of binge drinking differ between males and females in North Dakota. Geographic and socioeconomic factors were significant predictors in males, but not females, while frequent mental distress was only a significant predictor of binge drinking among females. Efforts to reduce binge drinking in this state should consider potential differences in programmatic needs between the sexes.
