PREVALENCE OF ALCOHOL USE, DEPRESSIVE AND ANXIETY DISORDERS AMONG PATIENTS OF OPIOID AGONIST TREATMENT PROGRAMMES IN UKRAINE

Prevalence data collection was organised based on Opioid Assisted Treatment centres in three Ukrainian cities, Kyiv (one centre, centre of Ukraine), Sumy (one centre, east), and Lviv (one centre, west), during the period from October 2021 to January 2022 (before the full-scale Russian invasion). 
The staff of OAT centres did all the data collection. Doctors, psychologists, or social workers who previously obtained detailed instructions made individual screenings for medication during patients' appointed visits. All the questionaries (AUDIT for alcohol use patterns, PHQ-9 for depression symptoms, GAD-7 for anxiety symptoms) were printed out in the Ukrainian language and filled in together with each patient. In addition, the number of missed visits on site for substitute medication for the last month was counted, and blood alcohol levels were recorded with the breath-alcohol measuring instrument (Drager Alcotest 6820). 
The dataset is based on the results of the program of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, "Accelerating Progress in Reducing the Burden of Tuberculosis and HIV Infection in Ukraine", in accordance with the Grant Agreement between the Public Health Center of Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria No. 1936 of December 04, 2020. The donor was not involved in the study design, the collection, analysis and interpretation of data or the preparation of the article.
