The role of alcohol control policy on the level of alcohol consumption in member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations 2000–2022
Background: In his historical studies of current high-income countries, Angus Deaton demonstrated a correlation between a country's prosperity and the health of its population. His conceptual framework has recently been expanded to include the role of alcohol. In this ecological study, we test the key assumptions of the expanded framework and classify countries with respect to both their levels of alcohol consumption and alcohol control policies …

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region saw an increase in alcohol‐attributable deaths attributed to the rise in consumption over the past decade. Rapid economic transition underscores the importance of understanding the multifaceted impact of alcohol consumption on society and the policies designed to mitigate its harms.

Prevalence of Unrecorded Alcohol Consumption and Associated Factors
Impact of alcohol excise taxation and structural reforms on per capita consumption in Thailand, 1995–2021
Alcohol excise taxation (i.e., excise tax increases and structural reforms) significantly reduced APC in Thailand. Future taxation policies should include automatic adjustments for changes in inflation and/or disposable household income to sustain their long-term public health impact
Trends in hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control in the Thai population, 2004 to 2020
Hypertension prevalence in Thailand has remained high over the past 15 years. Despite universal health coverage, hypertension awareness has not improved and blood pressure control has decreased in the past five years. An urgent and concerted public health response is needed to improve diagnosis and control of hypertension to prevent avoidable cardiovascular disease
The Health Impact of Long-Term Kratom ( Mitragyna Speciosa ) Use in Southern Thailand
BACKGROUND: or Kratom has been used in Thailand traditionally for its medicinal value. Despite case reports of kratom consumption causing adverse effects, research on its long-term health impact is limited. This study examines the long-term health impact of kratom use among people in Southern Thailand. METHODS: Three community-based surveys were conducted from 2011 to 2015. In the first and second surveys (2011 and 2012) a total of 1,118 male res…
Stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes toward people living with HIV/Aids (PLWHA) among general adult population
Background: Thailand has an ongoing action plan to reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) discrimination and stigma. We aimed to monitor the level of stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) among the general adult population and to investigate its related factors. Methods: Thai National Health Examination Survey, a large-scale country-wide survey in 2019-2020. We used a multistage sampling technique…
Inter-ethnic differences in self-reported alcohol-related harm to children in Han vs. Yi ethnic minority households in Yunnan Province, China
China is a multi-ethnic country, but inter-ethnic disparities in alcohol-related harm to children have not been described. In this study, we assessed differences in prevalence of self-reported alcohol-related harm to children in Yi and Han households in Chuxiong Yi Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. We conducted a cross-sectional study among caregivers in households with a child age less than 18 years using structured questionnaire interview. Pa…
Acceptability of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and Non-Occupational Post-Exposure Prophylaxis among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Guilin, China
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) are both effective strategies for preventing HIV. There is limited information about the acceptability of these prevention measures in undeveloped areas of China. We aimed to examine the acceptability of PrEP and nPEP and their determinants among men who have sex with men (MSM). 219 MSM were recruited in Guilin, China. In total, 28.6% (95% CI: 20.0-41.0) and 35.…
Alcohol Recognition and Desire to Drink of Extended Alcohol Brand Logos
Alcohol companies in Thailand have adopted surrogate marketing that uses similar logos on non-alcoholic products. We aimed to assess variations of the alcohol recognition using reaction time and desire to drink among consumers exposed to original logos and modified logos (i.e., black logos, partial logos, logos on non-alcoholic beverages and other merchandise). Participants aged ≥19 years took part in this cross-sectional study. The primary indep…
Prevalence of Alcohol-Related Harms in Yi and Han Ethnic Groups in a Prefecture in Yunnan Province, China
Yi ethnic minorities in Yunnan Province had lower prevalence of alcohol-related harm from others than Han persons in the same region. However, measurement and translation-related issues of the study instrument and limited generalizability should be considered as caveats in the interpretation of the study findings
Associations between gaming disorder, parent-child relationship, parental supervision, and discipline styles
Metabolic syndrome in Thai adolescents and associated factors
The prevalence of MetS among Thai adolescents was higher than previously reported by other studies. Screen media exposure during the first 2 years of life should be discouraged and measures to promote physical activity among children and adolescents should be strengthen
Does husband’s alcohol consumption increase the risk of domestic violence during the pregnancy and postpartum periods in Nepalese women
Having a husband who has alcohol drinking behavior is an important risk factor for domestic violence against women in the pregnancy and postpartum periods. Screening of alcohol use in husbands will not prevent domestic violence but could lead to a referral to integrated treatment for alcohol and domestic violence treatment
Patients’ Self-Reported Disability Weights of Top-Ranking Diseases in Thailand
Little is known about the impact of methodological decisions on estimating disability weights among patients with mental and physical disorders, and the effects of socio-demographic status on the estimation of these weights. A cross-sectional study was conducted in three hospitals in southern Thailand to describe the disability weights based on different valuation methods. Altogether, 150 patients with major depressive disorder, 150 with alcohol …
Health status and associated factors of HIV-infected patients in Kunming, China
A Context-Specific Instrument to Record Drinking Behaviour
Including gaming disorder in the ICD-11: The need to do so from a clinical and public health perspective
The proposed introduction of gaming disorder (GD) in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) has led to a lively debate over the past year. Besides the broad support for the decision in the academic press, a recent publication by van Rooij et al. (2018) repeated the criticism raised against the inclusion of GD in ICD-11 by Aarseth et al. (2017). We argue that this…
Clusters of alcohol and drug use and other health-risk behaviors among Thai secondary school students
Alcohol, tobacco and drug use, as well as other health-risk behaviors such as fighting, are clustered in Thai secondary school students. This result highlights the importance of comprehensive prevention and education strategies, particularly for moderate to high-risk groups
Can socio-economic differences explain low expectation of health services among HIV patients compared to non-HIV counterparts
Patients with HIV have significantly lower levels of expectations even after adjusting for socio-economic factors. Assessment of health system responsiveness based on their judgments above may give biased results toward favorable service quality
Factor Analytical Investigation of Krathom ( Mitragyna speciosa Korth.) Withdrawal Syndrome in Thailand
Krathom (Mitragyna speciosa Korth.) is an addictive and illicit substance used in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. It has become the most commonly used substance among villagers. The study aimed to explore the factor structure of the krathom withdrawal syndrome based on the findings of an earlier qualitative study. The current study was divided into two stages. Cross-sectional data collections were employed in both phases. The sample…
