Statistical package of social sciences spss version 22.0

Data analysis was performed using IBM’s Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS version 22.0). The sample distribution was conducted using frequency for categorical variables and mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables. For the statistical analysis, the Chi-square test was utilized to assess the variables which were not in the normal distribution. The independent correlates of current alcohol use and alcohol misuse were examined by multiple logistic regression, and alcohol use or alcohol misuse were the dependent variables (yes = 1, no = 0). Age groups (≤34 years old, 35–49 years old, or ≥ 50 years old), educational level (associate degree or less, college degree, master’s degree or more), gender (male and female); marital status (single, married, divorced/widowed); smoking habit (yes/no); and other studied variables were entered as the independent variables. The level of statistical significance was set at value of ps of 0.05 (two-tailed).
