Sample weights provided by the GEDA 2014 (6).
Socioeconomic status (low, medium and high) calculated by German-specific ‘SES Index’(12); and includes information on formal education/vocational training, occupational status and equivalenced to net household income
Hazardous alcohol consumption classified as >20 g pure alcohol daily for women, and >40 g daily for men.
Assessed by eight-item Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale (PHQ-8).
