Industry-Specific Materials

Research indicates that some industries have higher rates of substance abuse among workers than others, generally because demographic variations in drug and alcohol problems among workers mirror demographic variations in drug and alcohol problems across the rest of American society. Thus, drug and alcohol abuse is more prevalent in industries traditionally dominated by males, and industries with a large number of young workers experience higher rates of problem drinking than industries with a different or broader age demographic.
