Abstract: The aim of this research is to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) differences and alcohol consumption changes within subpopulations during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study consisted of a primary survey of U.S. adults administered in three waves over the course of the pandemic and the data were combined into one analytical dataset. Subpopulations with the largest HRQoL comparisons included 18-44-year olds vs 45+ individuals, respondents employed during the pandemic vs non-employed respondents, and low-income earners vs high-income earners. Research on subpopulations enables targeted assistance efforts focusing on specialized programs that can improve HRQoL and alcohol consumption changes in the most impacted subpopulations.
