Using Item Response Theory Models in Scaling Severity Scores in Alcohol Research—A Tutorial
Changes in co‐use of alcohol and cannabis among Nordic adolescents in the 21st century
High Intensity Drinking (HID) Assessed by Maximum Quantity Consumed Is an Important Pattern Measure Adding Predictive Value in Higher and Lower Income Societies for Modeling Alcohol-Related Problems
Adjusting for demographics and standard drinking measures, High Intensity Drinking (HID), indexed by the maximum quantity consumed in a single day in the past 12 months, may be valuable in predicting alcohol dependence other harms across high and low income societies. The data consisted of 17 surveys of adult (15,460 current drinkers; 71% of total surveyed) in Europe (3), the Americas (8), Africa (2), and Asia/Australia (4). Gender-disaggregated …
A gender-focused multilevel analysis of how country, regional and individual level factors relate to harm from others’ drinking
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine how gender, age and education, regional prevalence of male and female risky drinking and country-level economic gender equality are associated with harms from other people's drinking. METHODS: 24,823 adults in ten countries were surveyed about harms from drinking by people they know and strangers. Country-level economic gender equality and regional prevalence of risky drinking along with age and ge…
Improving measurement of harms from others' drinking
Changes in Alcohol Consumption during the Covid-19 Pandemic Are Dependent on Initial Consumption Level
Evidence suggests that changes in alcohol consumption during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic were unevenly distributed over consumer groups. We investigated possible inter-country differences in how changes in alcohol consumption are contingent on initial consumption (before or at the start of the pandemic), and how changes in consumption translate into possible changes in the prevalence of heavy drinking. We used data from the European…
The relationship between socioeconomic status and risky drinking in Denmark
In the Danish context, SES was not associated with RSOD
Neighbourhoods matter too
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that cancer incidence is related to a number of individual factors, including socioeconomic status. The aim of this study was to refine the current knowledge about indicators associated with cancer incidence by evaluating the influence of neighbourhood characteristics on breast, prostate and lung cancer incidence in Denmark. METHODS: All women aged 30-83 years were followed for breast cancer between 2004 an…
Do neighborhoods affect individual mortality? A systematic review and meta-analysis of multilevel studies
Population density, socioeconomic environment and all-cause mortality
Social Inequalities in Alcohol Consumption and Alcohol-Related Problems in the Study Countries of the Eu Concerted Action ‘Gender, Culture and Alcohol Problems
AIMS: We investigated the presence of social inequalities of alcohol use and misuse using educational attainment as an indicator of socio-economic status in 15 countries: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Israel, Brazil, and Mexico. METHODS: Study surveys were independently conducted and the data centrally analysed. Most samples were national. Survey modes and sample sizes varied. The age…
Alcoholics Anonymous as a Mutual-Help Movement
This collaborative study offers a look at Alcoholics Anonymous as a social movement, a belief system, a model for small group interactions and an international phenomenon. It covers what happens at an AA meeting, how members interact and how it fits into varying cultural traditions
