A Scalable Sampling Approach for Artificial Intelligence‐Based Alcohol Content Estimation in Movies
Hegemonic femininity, motherhood, and alcohol in Australia
Ideals around femininity influence women's health behaviours, particularly for mothers facing hegemonic and gender normative pressures. This relationship becomes more complex when it comes to alcohol, where commercial, moral, health and pleasure-based discourses intersect. We examine how alcohol use is negotiated by employed mothers in the context of intensive motherhood, hegemonic femininity, neoliberal and postfeminist ideals. Drawing on interv…
Using the Diffusion of Innovation Theory to explain the declining trend in adolescent drunkenness between 2002 and 2022 across 46 countries
INTRODUCTION: Using Diffusion of Innovations Theory, we investigated whether countries with higher innovation capacity showed earlier tipping points (shift from increasing to decreasing drunkenness) and steeper declines in adolescent drunkenness (2002-2022). Innovation capacity likely facilitates these shifts through knowledge generation, policy implementation, and norm diffusion. METHODS: Trends in adolescent drunkenness were examined across 46 …

Is start time a risk factor for amounts consumed on a given day if drinking duration is taken into account? An event-level study
Background This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on typical drinking patterns and the relationship between drinking start time and duration on daily drinks and drinking pace.Methods 573 participants from New South Wales (NSW), Australia completed five waves of weekly diaries assessing a ‘typical week’s alcohol consumption’ between March and November 2020. We examined the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on drinking start time…
‘ We were all stuffed ’
Background During COVID-19 lockdowns, women and parents were more likely to increase their alcohol use. Working mothers in particular faced additional stressors and roles that may have influenced how they drank. In this study, we explored how the experiences of Australian lockdowns affected drinking practices among a sample of working mothers.Methods Between February and June 2022, we conducted 22 semi-structured interviews with working mothers a…
A chance for countries to support Ireland's world‐leading cancer warning labels for alcohol containers
Ireland has regulated for all packaged alcohol products to include a health warning that states that ‘there is a link between alcohol and fatal cancers’. This warning is being opposed in the World Trade Organization by 12 member states who are raising that the warning is an unnecessary barrier to trade. The World Health Organization is supporting Ireland. Countries should not oppose Ireland's warning which is defensible from legal and public heal…
Increasing Alcohol Pharmacotherapy Prescribing Rates in Australia
T.N. has received speaking honoraria from Camurus. The authors declare no conflicts of interest. Data sharing not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analysed during the current study
How is substance use portrayed in digital media and what impacts can it have
In 2021, Facebook Inc. changed its name to Meta. At first glance, the updated name simply reflected that the company had grown to own not just the Facebook platform, but also Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp and a desire to branch out and include virtual reality [1]. The term “meta,” however, has a deeper meaning. Meta is short for metaverse, a word coined by Neal Stephenson in his dystopian novel Snow Crash. The metaverse is a hypothetical future st…
Support for policies restricting alcohol exposure in films
A qualitative analysis investigating drinking practices and meanings among a sample of Australian working mothers
Background: Despite recent increases in alcohol use among Western mid-life women, less is known about working mothers and how their competing social roles and responsibilities might influence their alcohol use. Our study unpacks how the experience of being a working mother creates particular drinking practices and meanings, and how these are influenced by cultural and societal factors. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 22 A…
Uncorking the ‘wine mum’
By juxtaposing women's stories with 'wine mum' stereotypes, and the broader feminisation of drinking, we highlight how women's drinking practices are influenced not only by static identities, but the complex interplay between gender, a myriad of fluid social categories, and day-to-day life. We suggest that attending to context and women's everyday experiences is crucial for generating a nuanced understanding of drinking beyond women's traditional…
Substance misuse by birth parents
Concerns that children in OOHC with a history of parental substance misuse may be more affected with regards to early-stage physical development, and later verbal cognitive development than those without this history in OOHC, may not be justified
Strategies to support midlife women to reduce their alcohol consumption
Alcohol consumption is causally associated with long-term health-related consequences, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, and short-term harms, such as accidents and injuries. Alcohol consumption has increased among midlife women (aged 40–65) over the last two decades in high-income countries. This study aimed to centre women’s voices by using co-design methodologies to investigate what women identify as strategies that could assist them …
Drinking before sporting events in Australia
Background This study investigates the individual and event-level correlates of drinking prior to attending Australian Football League (AFL) games among a sample of Australian spectators.Materials and Methods A total of 30 adults (20% female, mean age = 32) completed a series of questionnaires (n = 417) before, during, and after an AFL match on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Cluster-adjusted regression analyses were conducted to examine the impac…
Social and contextual factors associated with drinking before, during and after watching Australian Football League games
Nearly Five Times Higher than We Think
Reducing alcohol use is challenging due to the volume of alcohol shown in media and the relationship between exposure and use. It is unclear to what degree people are aware of and able to estimate alcohol exposure in the media, such as in movies. In this study, 609 Australian adults estimated the amount of alcohol exposure in up to 10 of 102 popular movies they remembered best. They reported when they last saw each movie, their alcohol use, age, …
Zero-shot learning has the potential to revolutionise research on exposure to alcohol and other drugs in digital media
Connected and consuming
Determining the prevalence of alcohol-related content on social media is important to guide education initiatives and interventions in this space. We aimed to assess the performance of the pre-developed alcoholic beverage identification deep learning algorithm (ABDILA) to automatically quantify alcoholic beverage prevalence in user-generated Instagram images. 6,121 images were gathered from Instagram using ‘Splendour in the Grass’ related hashtag…

Alcohol outlet density, perceived availability and adolescent alcohol use
OBJECTIVES: Perceived availability is commonly associated with adolescent alcohol use. Little is known about the factors which shape this perceived availability. The present study investigates (1) whether perceived alcohol availability is related to the characteristics of the adolescents' social environment and the per capita outlet density in the community and (2) whether adolescent alcohol use is related to perceived availability, social enviro…
Bidirectional Associations Between Sibling Relationships and Parental Support During Adolescence
Sibling relationships and parental support are important for adolescents' development and well-being, yet both are likely to change during adolescence. Since adolescents participate in both the sibling relationship and the parent-child relationship, we can expect sibling relationships and parental support to be associated with each other. Theoretically, it can be expected that there is either a spillover from one relationship to another (congruen…
Exploring substance use normalization among adolescents
Early Risk Behaviors and Adolescent Injury in 25 European and North American Countries
Injury is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity among adolescents in developed countries. Jessor and Jessor’s Problem Behavior Theory suggests an association between risk behaviors (e.g., smoking, drunkenness, cannabis use, and sexual intercourse) and adolescent injury. The present study examined whether early engagement in risk behaviors would predict injury at age 15. It also examined whether such associations were consistent in strength a…
Early Adolescent and Peer Drinking Homogeneity
This study examined associations between perceived peer and adolescent alcohol use in European and North American countries. Self-reported monthly alcohol use and adolescents' report of their peers' alcohol use were assessed in nationally representative samples of students aged 11.5 and 13.5 years ( n = 11,277) in Greece, Scotland, Switzerland, and the United States who participated in the 2005/2006 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children survey.…
Why My Classmates Drink
A structural equation model was estimated based on a Swiss national sample of 5649 12- to 18-year-olds to test whether individual drinking motives mediate the link between classmates' motives and individual alcohol use. Results showed that the social, enhancement, coping and conformity motives of individual students are associated with the corresponding motive dimension of other students in the class. No direct effect of the four classmates' moti…
The emotional entanglements of smartphones in the field
Despite human geographers’ growing recognition of the need to explore how digital technologies are increasingly co‐producing geographies, the methodological implications of such forms of data production are rarely discussed. This paper explores how smartphones co‐constitute fieldwork when they are used as research instruments. Drawing from a research project on young people's nightlife in Switzerland, we use Ahmed's ideas of emotions to show how …
Are the effects of early pubertal timing on the initiation of weekly alcohol use mediated by peers and/or parents? A longitudinal study
We investigated whether the link between early pubertal timing and initiation of weekly alcohol use is mediated by changes in perceived parental alcohol-specific rule setting and changes in perceived proportion of drinkers in the peer group. Longitudinal data including 3 annual waves were used to estimate the hazard for adolescents to initiate drinking alcohol using Cox proportional hazard structural equation models in 1,286 Dutch adolescents (50…
Youth nightlife at home
This paper explores home as a space of youth nightlife and drinking through a feminist lens. It draws on feminist geographical scholarship on home and 40 semi-structured interviews with young people aged 16–25 in Switzerland in the context of a larger interdisciplinary study. We find that the home figures as a central space of nightlife for young people beyond pre-drinking or home parties. At the same time, privacy and intimacy are important to y…
Development of the Geographical Proportional-to-size Street-Intercept Sampling (GPSIS) method for recruiting urban nightlife-goers in an entire city
We developed the Geographical Proportional-to-size Street-Intercept Sampling (GPSIS) method in order to obtain a sample of nightlife-goers which accounted for the diversity of spaces, patrons and locations within two Swiss cities. Popular nightlife zones were identified and quantified using social media data and local experts’ knowledge. Young people were recruited in the streets on Friday and Saturday nights on three consecutive weekends using t…
Differences in the impact of the frequency and enjoyment of joint family activities on adolescent substance use and violence
Previous research has concentrated exclusively on the association between the frequency of joint family activities (JFA) and adolescent problem behaviours. In this study, multiple linear regressions based on a national sample of 3467 13- to 16-year-olds in Switzerland revealed that JFA enjoyment rather than JFA frequency is consistently related to low adolescent substance use and violence. By choosing JFA that their children enjoy, parents might …

Decreases in adolescent weekly alcohol use in Europe and North America
BACKGROUND: This study examined trends in adolescent weekly alcohol use between 2002 and 2010 in 28 European and North American countries. METHODS: Analyses were based on data from 11-, 13- and 15-year-old adolescents who participated in the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study in 2002, 2006 and 2010. RESULTS: Weekly alcohol use declined in 20 of 28 countries and in all geographic regions, from 12.1 to 6.1% in Anglo-Saxon countri…
Reciprocal Influences of Drinking Motives on Alcohol Use and Related Consequences
Using a full cross-lagged model, this study investigates the extent to which drinking motives predict alcohol use and related consequences, and vice versa. At baseline and 15 months later, 4575 men (mean age = 19.4 years) in Switzerland completed a questionnaire assessing drinking motives, average weekly consumption, risky single-occasion drinking, and alcohol-related consequences. Results indicated that social and enhancement motives more strong…
