Background and aims
In the United States, until 2018 both the prevalence of heavy alcohol use and the suicide mortality rate increased among men and women; however, women had experienced a notably higher increase in both. As heavy alcohol use may have contributed to the observed sex disparity in the suicide mortality rate increase, the aim of the current study was to estimate the temporal trend of...
Background and aims
In recent decades, alcohol drinking in the European Union has been characterized by increasing homogenization of levels of drinking coupled with an overall decrease. This study examined whether we can still distinguish distinct practices of drinking by addressing two research questions: (1) are drinking practices still characterized by the choice of a certain alcoholic beverage;...
Aims
To study the impact of alcohol control policy measures (i.e. increases in taxation, restrictions on availability, including minimum purchasing age regulations, legislation on drink driving and advertisement bans) on alcohol‐related traffic harm in Lithuania between January 2004 and February 2019.
Design
Analyses of trend data on the proportion of alcohol‐related collisions and crashes, injury...
Background and aims
Alcohol use is a major contributor to injuries, mortality and the burden of disease. This review updates knowledge on risk relations between dimensions of alcohol use and health outcomes to be used in global and national Comparative Risk Assessments (CRAs).
Methods
Systematic review of reviews and meta‐analyses on alcohol consumption and health outcomes attributable to alcohol...
Background and aims
Evidence suggests that adult per‐capita alcohol consumption, as estimated from self‐reports of nationally representative surveys, underestimates ‘true’ consumption, as measured as the sum of recorded and unrecorded consumption. The proportion of total adult alcohol per capita reported in representative surveys is usually labelled ‘coverage’. The aim of the present paper was to...
ObjectiveTo estimate the prevalence of alcohol consumption and binge drinking during pregnancy among the general population in the World Health Organization (WHO) African Region, by country.
MethodsFirst, a comprehensive systematic literature search was performed to identify all published and unpublished studies. Then, several meta‐analyses, assuming a random‐effects model, were conducted to estimate...
AimsTo estimate age‐period‐cohort models predicting alcohol volume, heavy drinking and beverage‐specific alcohol volume in order to evaluate whether the 1976–1985 birth cohorts drink relatively heavily.
DesignData from seven cross‐sectional surveys of the USA conducted between 1979 and 2010 were utilized in negative binomial generalized linear models of age, period and cohort effects predicting alcohol...
