Alcohol Excise Taxation, Tax Share and Revenue in the European Union and the United Kingdom in 2022
Beyond the label
Almost a third of alcoholic beverages in 13 European countries contained QR code. However, most labels did not specify the purpose of the code. Furthermore, given the website content, there is concern that they serve as a promotional tool rather than providing access to nutritional and risk information
Integrating maternal, newborn, child health and non-communicable disease care in the sustainable development goal era
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and maternal newborn and child health (MNCH) are two deeply intertwined health areas that have been artificially separated by global health policies, resource allocations and programming. Optimal MNCH care can provide a unique opportunity to screen for, prevent and manage early signs of NCDs developing in both the woman and the neonate. This paper considers how NCDs, NCD modifiable risk factors, and NCD metabolic r…
Assessing the impact of providing digital product information on the health risks of alcoholic beverages to the consumer at point of sale
Exploring educational inequalities in hypertension control, salt knowledge and awareness, and patient advice
Objective: To inform strategies aimed at improving blood pressure (BP) control and reducing salt intake, we assessed educational inequalities in high blood pressure (HBP) awareness, treatment and control; physician’s advice on salt reduction; and salt knowledge, perceptions and consumption behaviours in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Design: Data were collected in cross-sectional, population-based nationally representative surveys, using a mult…

Alcohol control policies in Former Soviet Union countries
Classifying Alcohol Control Policies with Respect to Expected Changes in Consumption and Alcohol-Attributable Harm
Due to the high levels of alcohol use, alcohol-attributable mortality and burden of disease, and detrimental drinking patterns, Lithuania implemented a series of alcohol control policies within a relatively short period of time, between 2008 and 2019. Based on their expected impact on alcohol consumption and alcohol-attributable harm, as well as their target population, these policies have been classified using a set of objective criteria and exp…
Prisons and custodial settings are part of a comprehensive response to Covid-19
Prisons are epicentres for infectious diseases because of the higher background prevalence of infection, the higher levels of risk factors for infection, the unavoidable close contact in often overcrowded, poorly ventilated, and unsanitary facilities, and the poor access to health-care services relative to that in community settings.1 Infections can be transmitted between prisoners, staff and visitors, between prisons through transfers and staff …

Alcohol use in times of the Covid 19
Based on a literature search undertaken to determine the impacts of past public health crises, and a systematic review of the effects of past economic crises on alcohol consumption, two main scenarios—with opposite predictions regarding the impact of the current COVID‐19 pandemic on the level and patterns of alcohol consumption—are introduced. The first scenario predicts an increase in consumption for some populations, particularly men, due to di…
Russia’s National Concept to Reduce Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol-Dependence in the Population 2010–2020
In the 2000s, Russia was globally one of the top 5 countries with the highest levels of alcohol per capita consumption and prevailing risky patterns of drinking, i.e., high intake per occasion, high proportion of people drinking to intoxication, and high frequency of situations where alcohol is consumed and tolerated. In 2009, in response to these challenges, the Russian government formed the Federal Service for Alcohol Market Regulation and publ…
Meeting the Global NCD Target of at Least 10% Relative Reduction in the Harmful Use of Alcohol
The findings indicate a divergence in alcohol consumption reduction in Europe, with substantial progress in the Eastern part of the region and very modest or no progress in EU countries
Implementing Health Warnings on Alcoholic Beverages
Despite being a psychoactive substance and having a major impact on health, alcohol has to date escaped the required labeling regulations for either psychoactive substances or food. The vast majority of the countries in the WHO European Region have stricter labeling requirements for bottled water and health warning provisions for over-the-counter medications than for alcoholic beverages. However, more progress in implementing health warnings has …

Harmful Use of Alcohol
Alcohol consumption and alcohol-attributable burden of disease in Africa are expected to rise in the near future, yet. increasing alcohol-related harm receives little attention from policymakers and from the population in general. Even where new legislation is proposed it is rarely enacted into law. Being at the center of social and cultural activities in many countries, alcohol's negative role in society and contribution to countries' burden of …
