DISORDERS
Men reported their alcohol use at shebeens (bars) as every/most days a week or a few times/none. Men also reported the frequency of days having six drinks or more as never, monthly, weekly, or daily over the last 3 months. A rapid diagnostic test (RDT) for alcohol use measured use in the last 24 h; men completed this at each assessment (baseline, 6 months).The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is a brief, reliable, and valid, 10-item questionnaire of problematic alcohol use [Substance use was monitored by both self-reports and RDT for dagga/cannabis, quaalude/mandrax, and methamphetamine as present (1) or not (0). The sensitivity duration for each drug varied substantially based on the drug. The dagga RDT measured the last 10 days, mandrax was assessed in the last 2–3 days, and methamphetamine reflected use in the last 1–2 day). RDT for dagga and methamphetamine were conducted at baseline and 6 months; mandrax was tested only at 6 months.
