Only 4% of individuals with heavy alcohol use reported receiving BI, with higher rates among individuals with severe (33%), moderate (17%) or mild AUD (9%). Prevalence of being referred to and receiving treatment increased with AUD severity but remained low overall (3% to 23%). Although women were more likely to use health care than men [marginal prevalence ratio (MPR)\u2009=\u20091.112; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.103\u20131.121], women were less likely to receive BI (MPR\u2009=\u20090.518, 95% CI = 0.447\u20130.588).
