Generating political priority for alcohol policy reform
Obituary
Kyp's alcohol research interests were many and varied in topic, in scope and in methods. Early work focused on consumption and harm among tertiary students, and interventions to reduce harm from alcohol at individual and population level, including trials of web-based screening and brief interventions. Important bodies of later work focused on measuring the effects of alcohol policy on consumption and harm, on conflict of interest in alcohol scie…
Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder in Aotearoa, New Zealand

A polygenic score for age‐at‐first‐birth predicts disinhibition
BACKGROUND: A recent genome-wide association study identified molecular-genetic associations with age-at-first-birth. However, the meaning of these genetic discoveries is unclear. Drawing on evidence linking early pregnancy with disinhibitory behavior, we tested the hypothesis that genetic discoveries for age-at-first-birth predict disinhibition. METHODS: We included participants with genotype data from the two-decade-long Environmental Risk (E-R…
Alcohol Harms over a Period of Alcohol Policy Reform
Background : We estimated the change in the prevalence of harms attributed by students to their drinking and to others' drinking, over a decade of concerted effort by university authorities to reduce antisocial behaviour and improve student safety. Interventions included a security and liaison service, a stricter code of conduct, challenges to liquor license applications near campus, and a ban on alcohol advertising. Methods: We used a pre-post d…
Do New Zealand communities have greater input to local alcohol policy? Population surveys before and after new legislation
Hazardous Drinking among Students over a Decade of University Policy Change
Background : Responding to high levels of alcohol-related harm among students, a New Zealand university deployed a security and liaison service, strengthened the Student Code of Conduct, increased its input on the operation of alcohol outlets near campus, and banned alcohol advertising on campus. We estimated the change in the prevalence of alcohol consumption patterns among students at the university compared with other universities. Methods : W…
The association of smoking with drinking pattern may provide opportunities to reduce smoking among students
There is evidence that smoking and alcohol consumption are paired behaviours among university students, but we know little about how New Zealand students engage in these behaviours. We estimated prevalence of daily and occasional smoking among university students, and associations of smoking with drinking patterns, demographics and smokefree policies of the university. This research was conducted with 2822 university students, aged 17–25, from fi…
New Zealand’s new alcohol laws
The project will evaluate how well the reforms meet their explicit public health objectives
Do Reports of Age and Circumstances of First Intercourse Differ in a Birth Cohort When Asked Seventeen Years Apart
Conclusions about temporal changes in age and circumstances of first intercourse are generally derived from retrospective reports by people of various ages in cross-sectional studies, with an inherent assumption of no bias stemming from time since the event. We examined this assumption through repeated questions on age and circumstances of first heterosexual intercourse (FHI) at ages 21 and 38 in a birth cohort. Despite considerable movement in i…
Effects of Lowering the Minimum Alcohol Purchasing Age on Weekend Assaults Resulting in Hospitalization in New Zealand
Objectives. We estimated the effects on assault rates of lowering the minimum alcohol purchasing age in New Zealand from 20 to 18 years. We hypothesized that the law change would increase assaults among young people aged 18 to 19 years (the target group) and those aged 15 to 17 years via illegal sales or alcohol supplied by older friends or family members. Methods. Using Poisson regression, we examined weekend assaults resulting in hospitalizatio…
P1-414 Aggression between intimate partners in New Zealand
Introduction Higher rates of aggression have been described among intimate partners who are heavy drinkers. Drinking at the time of aggressive incidents, and gender differences in the experience of intimate partner aggression in the general population are less well understood. Methods Alcohol consumption, partner's alcohol consumption, and details of the most severe incident of partner aggression in the past 2 years were reported in a national su…
Alcohol outlet density, levels of drinking and alcohol-related harm in New Zealand
BACKGROUND: Previous research shows associations of geographical density of alcohol outlets with a range of alcohol-related harms. Socioeconomic conditions that are associated with both outlet density and alcohol-related outcomes may confound many studies. We examined the association of outlet density with both consumption and harm throughout New Zealand while controlling for indicators of area deprivation and individual socioeconomic status (SES…
Patterns of Drinking and Estimates of Alcohol-Related Mortality in New Zealand
The two main population groups in New Zealand have different average drinking patterns but similar average alcohol consumption. This article compares three approaches to incorporating pattern of drinking into estimates of alcohol-attributable mortality and years of life lost for New Zealand. We adapted the comparative risk assessment (CRA) methods developed by World Health Organization (WHO), and applied them at a country and subpopulation (Māori…
Randomised studies of income supplementation
BACKGROUND: Despite the wealth of evidence linking low income to ill health, there is little information from randomised studies on how much and how quickly these risks can be reversed by improvements in income. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review of randomised studies of income supplementation, with particular reference to health outcomes. DESIGN: Extensive searches of electronic databases and contact with previous authors. As well as sear…
