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 …
Machine Learning Algorithms to Predict Heavy Episodic Drinking in the United States Using Survey Data
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

Cognitive Dysfunction in the Addictions (CDiA)
Substance use disorders (SUDs), including Alcohol Use Disorder, are pressing global public health problems. Executive functions (EFs) are prominently featured in mechanistic models of addiction. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of EFs in SUDs, including the dimensional relationships of EFs to underlying neural circuits, molecular biomarkers, disorder heterogeneity, and functional ability. Transforming health outcomes for peop…
Socio-economic factors associated with alcohol and cannabis use across waves of the Covid-19 pandemic
Associations between SES and substance use differ by gender, race and age. To reduce health disparities, public health interventions should account for these interactions

A drink equals how many cigarettes? Equating mortality risks from alcohol and tobacco use in Canada
Objective: To quantify and communicate risk equivalencies for alcohol-and tobacco-attributable mortality by comparing per standard drinks consumed to per number of cigarettes smoked in Canada. Methods: Alcohol-and tobacco-attributable premature deaths (≤75 years of age) and years of life lost (YLL) were estimated using a lifetime risk modeling approach. Alcohol-attributable death statistics were obtained from the 2023 Canadian Guidance on Alcohol…
Alcohol, No Ordinary Commodity
Alcohol is a favorite psychoactive substance of Canadians. It is also a leading risk factor for death and disability, playing a causal role in a broad spectrum of health and social issues. Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity is a collaborative, integrative review of the scientific literature. This paper describes the epidemiology of alcohol use and current state of alcohol policy in Canada, best practices in policy identified by the third edition of A…
Trends of alcohol-attributable deaths in Lithuania 2001–2021
Male mortality and life expectancy in Lithuania were closely linked to alcohol-attributable mortality and markedly associated with strong alcohol control policies. Further implementation of such policies is predicted to lead to further improvements in life expectancy
Willingness of population health survey participants to provide personal health information and biological samples
A lack of willingness to provide biological samples or permit data linkage may lead to representivity issues in studies which rely on such information. The presence of question order effects suggests that the willingness of respondents can be increased through strategic ordering of survey structures
An assessment of federal alcohol policies in Canada and priority recommendations
Many evidence-informed alcohol policies have not been adopted, or been adopted only partially, by the Canadian federal government. Urgent adoption of the recommended policies is needed to prevent and reduce the enormous health, social, and economic costs of alcohol use in Canada
Unrecorded alcohol use in 33 European countries
Alcohol and cannabis use during the Covid-19 pandemic among transgender, gender-diverse, and cisgender adults in Canada
Increased alcohol and cannabis use among TGD populations compared to before the pandemic may lead to increased health disparities. Accordingly, programs targeting the specific needs of TGD individuals should be prioritized
Global burden of cancer in 2020 attributable to alcohol consumption
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use is causally linked to multiple cancers. We present global, regional, and national estimates of alcohol-attributable cancer burden in 2020 to inform alcohol policy and cancer control across different settings globally. METHODS: In this population-based study, population attributable fractions (PAFs) calculated using a theoretical minimum-risk exposure of lifetime abstention and 2010 alcohol consumption estimates from the Gl…
The elusiveness of representativeness in general population surveys for alcohol
Population survey research is limited by biases introduced through the exclusion of sub‐populations from the sampling frame and by non‐response bias. This is a particular problem for alcohol surveys, where populations such as the homeless and the institutionalised—who consume on average more alcohol than the general population—are usually excluded, and where people who respond to alcohol surveys tend to consume less alcohol than those who do not.…
The role of alcohol use in the aetiology and progression of liver disease
Assessing Sustainable Development Goal Target Indicator 3.5.2
The objective of this study was to estimate trends in alcohol per capita consumption from 1990 to 2016 in the Region of the Americas, covering 35 Member States. Data from the WHO Global Information System on Alcohol and Health were used to calculate the annual percent change of alcohol per capita consumption in each of the 35 countries of the Americas. The Americas as a whole showed no change in the total period, with a slight decrease in the per…
National, regional, and global burdens of disease from 2000 to 2016 attributable to alcohol use
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use has increased globally, with varying trends in different parts of the world. This study investigates gender, age, and geographical differences in the alcohol-attributable burden of disease from 2000 to 2016. METHODS: This comparative risk assessment study estimated the alcohol-attributable burden of disease. Population-attributable fractions (PAFs) were estimated by combining alcohol exposure data obtained from production …

Alcohol-Attributable Cancer Deaths and Years of Potential Life Lost in the United States
Objectives. Our goal was to provide current estimates of alcohol-attributable cancer mortality and years of potential life lost (YPLL) in the United States. Methods. We used 2 methods to calculate population-attributable fractions. We based relative risks on meta-analyses published since 2000, and adult alcohol consumption on data from the 2009 Alcohol Epidemiologic Data System, 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and 2009–2010 Natio…

Alcohol consumption and the intention to engage in unprotected sex
Aims To review and analyse in experimentally controlled studies the impact of alcohol consumption on intentions to engage in unprotected sex. To draw conclusions with respect to the question of whether alcohol has an independent effect on the incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Methods A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled studies examined the association betwe…
Mortality and potential years of life lost attributable to alcohol consumption in Canada in 2005
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

Russia-specific relative risks and their effects on the estimated alcohol-attributable burden of disease
Results indicate that if the Russia-specific RRs are used when estimating the health burden attributable to alcohol consumption in Russia, then the total estimated burden will be more than if RRs from meta-analyses are used. Furthermore, additional research is needed to understand which aspects of the Russian style of drinking cause the most harm
Modelling the impact of alcohol consumption on cardiovascular disease mortality for comparative risk assessments
When the most comprehensive and recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses are taken as bases, the net impact of alcohol consumption on CVD is lower than previously estimated
The relationship between different dimensions of alcohol use and the burden of disease—an update
Actual and predicted prevalence of alcohol consumption during pregnancy in Latin America and the Caribbean
Objective To estimate the prevalence of alcohol consumption during pregnancy among the general population of Latin America and the Caribbean, by country, in 2012 . Methods Three steps were taken: a comprehensive, systematic literature search; meta-analyses, assuming a random-effects model for countries with published studies; and regression modelling (data prediction) for countries with either no published studies or too few to obtain an estimate…
Are the “Best Buys” for Alcohol Control Still Valid? An Update on the Comparative Cost-Effectiveness of Alcohol Control Strategies at the Global Level
OBJECTIVE: Evidence on the comparative cost-effectiveness of alcohol control strategies is a relevant input into public policy and resource allocation. At the global level, this evidence has been used to identify so-called best buys for noncommunicable disease prevention and control. This article uses global evidence on alcohol use exposures and risk relations, as well as on intervention costs and impacts, to re-examine the comparative cost-effec…

The global proportion and volume of unrecorded alcohol in 2015
BACKGROUND: (APC) consumption among adults which comprises recorded consumption and unrecorded consumption. While recorded consumption can be assessed with small measurement bias via taxation or other governmental records, unrecorded consumption is more difficult to assess. The objectives of this study were to estimate the country-specific proportion and volume of unrecorded APC in 2015, to identify main sources of unrecorded alcohol and to asses…
Population-based prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in Canada
This study provides the first population-based estimate of the prevalence of FASD in Canada. The estimate is approximately double or possibly even triple previous crude estimates. FASD prevalence exceeds that of other common birth defects such as Down's syndrome, spina bifida, trisomy 18, as well as autism spectrum disorder in Canada. More effective prevention strategies targeting alcohol use during pregnancy, surveillance of FASD, and timely int…
