Background and Aims
When measuring inequalities in health, public health and addiction research has tended to focus on differences in average life‐span between socio‐economic groups. This does not account for the extent to which age of death varies between individuals within socio‐economic groups or whether this variation differs between groups. This study assesses (1) socio‐economic inequalities...
Background and aims
Previous research indicates that compared with individuals with lower socio‐economic status (SES), individuals in higher SES groups are more often drinkers but those who drink report drinking smaller amounts more frequently. We aimed to decompose trends in self‐reported alcohol consumption in Germany into age, period and birth cohort effects and examine whether these effects varied...
Background Internationally, studies show that similar levels of alcohol consumption in deprived communities (vs. more affluent) result in higher levels of alcohol-related ill health. Hypotheses to explain this alcohol harm paradox include deprived drinkers: suffering greater combined health challenges (e.g. smoking, obesity) which exacerbate effects of alcohol harms; exhibiting more harmful consumption...
Aims
To estimate the relative risk of hospitalization from alcohol‐related causes among men and women in Finland across different educational categories, and to determine whether these differentials changed following a large reduction in alcohol prices in 2004.
Design and measurements
A register‐based longitudinal study of hospitalizations. We used repeated‐measures analysis to estimate alcohol‐attributable...
Aims To describe three aspects of the epidemiology of alcohol‐attributable deaths in Europe, dose, demography and place, and to illustrate how such knowledge can better be used to inform alcohol policy formulation and implementation.
Design epidemiological and population health modeling.
Setting Europe.
Participants Based on country‐specific aggregate statistics.
Measurements Exposure: country‐specific...
Alcohol consumption places an increasing burden on health services, criminal justice agencies and private industry throughout the UK. Despite a national strategy to tackle alcohol-related harm, there remains a lack of epidemiology on alcohol use and related harms at local levels. Utilising national data sources and existing research studies, Regional Public Health Observatories are appropriately placed...
