  • Mortality and potential years of life lost attributable to alcohol consumption in Canada in 2005

    Open AccessKevin D Shield, Benjamin J Taylor et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    The mortality burden attributable to alcohol consumption for Canada is large, unnecessary, and could be substantially reduced in a short period of time if effective public health policies were implemented. A monitoring system on alcohol consumption is imperative and would greatly assist in planning and evaluating future Canadian public health policies related to alcohol consumption

  • Combining best evidence

    Open AccessBenjamin J Taylor, Kevin D Shield et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    This method combines the best available evidence to generate new alcohol-attributable fractions for alcohol-attributable injury mortality. Future research is needed to refine the risk function for non-motor vehicle injury types and to investigate potential interactions between binge drinking and average volume of alcohol consumption

  • The relation between different dimensions of alcohol consumption and burden of disease

    Open AccessJurgen Rehm, Dolly Baliunas et al.ARTICLEAddiction2010

    Aims As part of a larger study to estimate the global burden of disease and injury attributable to alcohol: to evaluate the evidence for a causal impact of average volume of alcohol consumption and pattern of drinking on diseases and injuries; to quantify relationships identified as causal based on published meta‐analyses; to separate the impact on mortality versus morbidity where possible; and to assess the impact of the quality of alcohol on bu…

  • Alcohol as a Risk Factor for Type 2 Diabetes

    Open AccessDolly Baliunas, Dolly O Baliunas et al.ARTICLEDiabetes Care2009

    OBJECTIVE: To clarify the dose-response relationship between alcohol consumption and type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A systematic computer-assisted and hand search was conducted to identify relevant articles with longitudinal design and quantitative measurement of alcohol consumption. Adjustment was made for the sick-quitter effect. We used fractional polynomials in a meta-regression to determine the dose-response relationships by s…

  • Deaths Associated with High-Volume Drinking of Alcohol among Adults in Canada in 2002

    Open AccessJayadeep Patra, Benjamin J Taylor et al.ARTICLEContemporary Drug Problems2009References: 29

    This study estimates risks of mortality associated with high-volume drinking for Canada in 2002 by age and sex. Distribution of exposure was taken from a major Canadian survey and corrected for per capita consumption from production and sales. High-volume drinking was defined as a daily consumption of ⩾40 grams of pure alcohol (at least 3 Canadian drinks) for men and ⩾20 grams of pure alcohol (at least 1.5 Canadian drinks) for women. Risk relatio…

  • Smoking-attributable morbidity

    Open AccessDolly Baliunas, Jayadeep Patra et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2007

    Since the last major project produced estimates of this type, the rate of hospital days per 100,000 population has decreased by 33.8 percent. Several possible factors may have contributed to the decline in the rate of smoking-attributable hospital days: a drop in smoking prevalence, a decline in overall hospital days, and a shift in distribution of disease categories. Smoking remains a significant health, social, and economic burden in Canada

  • Southern Plains Indian Relocation Returnees

    Paul A Brinker, Benjamin J TaylorARTICLEHuman Organization1974Cited by: 1References: 4

    A number of prior studies of American Indian relocatees have found large numbers returning to the reservation shortly after going to their relocation city. On the basis of these studies, the Bureau of Indian Affairs has reduced the budget for the Employment Assistance (relocation) program. Our study involved the relocation of 323 Southern Plains Indians from western Oklahoma from 1968 to 1972. The education level of the Southern Plains Indian rel…
