Methodology: This cross sectional analytical study was conducted in Pa-O Self-administered zones, Myanmar. The total 450 respondents of working age males were selected by using multistage sampling method. Data was collected by using a structured questionnaire interview and analyzed by simple and multiple logistic regressions.
Result: The prevalence of alcohol use disorders among working age males of 450samples was 38.67 %( 95% CI: 34.15-43.18). The average age at the time of alcohol initiation was 19.63 ± 4.29 years old. After controlling the confounding factors, drinking alcohol at the first time with friends (adj. OR= 4.41, 95% CI=2.51-7.74; p-value <0.001), drinking alcohol at the first time by invitation of friends (adj. OR= 9.76, 95% CI =5.21-18.28; p-value=<0.001) were significantly associated with AUD. Other factors that were associated with AUD were underweight (BMI ≤18.5) (adj. OR=5.83, 95% CI=2.91-11.69, p-value=<0.001), lived nearer to alcohol outlets (<=1000m) (adj. OR=8.06, 95% CI=4.61-14.08, p-value=<0.001).
