“…DSM-IV Alcohol Dependence Disorder criteria by gender among adolescents who reported alcohol use in the past year than in other countries, where there is greater restriction on the purchase of alcohol in public places (Hibell, et al, 2012;National Plan on Drugs, 2012a). This is important, given that availability is a major risk factor for alcohol use and abuse, especially among young people (Bryden, Roberts, McKee, & Petticrew, 2012;Paschall, Grube, Thomas, Cannon, & Treffers, 2012). In addition, although the legal age for purchasing alcohol in public places is 18 years in Spain, in the Principality of Asturias it was reduced to 16, and even then, the indications are that in most cases this rule is not adhered to by sellers (National Plan on Drugs, 2012a).…”

Resumen AbstractDespite the availability of data about drinking frequency and patterns, the surveys on alcohol use among adolescents carried out in Europe tend not to provide information about diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorders (AUD) or estimation of their prevalence. This study assesses the prevalence of AUD among a sample of Spanish adolescents, to identify the most prevalent symptoms, and explore gender differences in AUD in this population. The final sample consisted of 504 participants aged 15 to 18, obtained by means of random sampling from all the schools in the region of Asturias (Spain). The presence of alcohol abuse (AA) and alcohol dependence (AD) disorders was evaluated according to DSM-IV-TR criteria. The results showed that 12.5% of the sample met the criteria for the diagnosis of AUD (6.7% for alcohol abuse, AA, and 5.8% for alcohol dependence, AD). The most prevalent symptoms were having social problems for AA diagnosis (9% of students who reported alcohol use in the past year) and tolerance for AD diagnosis (45.8% of students who reported alcohol use in the past year). Males showed a significantly higher score than females in AUD, AA and two AA diagnosis criteria (hazardous use and legal problems). The prevalence of AUD among Spanish adolescents is very high, males being more likely than females to endorse criteria for AUD and AA, though not for AD. These findings reveal a serious health issue and highlight the need to develop preventive efforts and provide coordinated alcohol-abuse interventions.Key words: adolescents, alcohol use disorders, alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence, gender differences.Las encuestas sobre el uso de alcohol en los adolescentes en Europa no suelen proporcionar información sobre los criterios para el diagnóstico de trastornos por uso alcohol (TUA) o la prevalencia de dichos trastornos.En este estudio se valora la prevalencia de TUA en una muestra de adolescentes españoles, y se identifican los síntomas más prevalentes, así como las diferencias de género en TUA en esta población. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 504 participantes de entre 15 y 18 años. Se realizó un muestreo al azar de todas las escuelas del Principado de Asturias (España).La presencia de abuso de alcohol (AA) y la dependencia del alcohol (DA) fue evaluada según el DSM-IV-TR. Los resultados mostraron que el 12,5% de la muestra cumplía criterios para el diagnóstico de TUA (6,7% AA y 5,8% DA). Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron tener problemas sociales para el diagnóstico de AA (9% de los participantes que habían bebido en el último año) y tolerancia para el diagnóstico de DA (45,8% de los participantes que habían bebido en el último año). Los varones mostraron una puntuación significativamente más alta que las mujeres en TUA, AA y dos criterios de AA (consumo imprudente y problemas legales). La prevalencia de TUA en los adolescentes españoles es muy alta. Los varones son más propensos que las mujeres a cumplir criterios de TUA y AA, aunque no de DA. Estos hallazgos revelan un problema de salud gra...

“…In fact, conditioning on the number of standard alcohol outlets in the estimation, we find no change in the results (see Supplementary Material). On the other hand, there is a small literature on the effects of alcohol availability on alcohol consumption (Bryden, Roberts, McKee, & Petticrew, 2012;Hahn, et al, 2010). A recent review (Hahn, et al, 2010) of 10 studies on the effect of restricting hours of selling alcohol on alcohol consumption concluded that an increase in hours of sale by 2 or more significantly increases consumption and related harms.…”

While the adverse health and economic consequences attributable to alcohol consumption are widely acknowledged, its impact on psychological wellbeing is less well understood. This is to a large extent due to the challenge of establishing causal effects of alcohol consumption when using standard single-equation econometric analyses. Using a unique dataset collected in 2010/11 of 18000 individuals and also community characteristics from nine countries of the former Soviet Union, a region with a major burden of alcohol related ill health, we address this problem by employing an instrumental variable approach to identify any causal effects of alcohol consumption on mental wellbeing. The availability of 24-hour alcohol sales outlets in the neighbourhood of the individuals is used as an instrument, based on theoretical reasoning and statistical testing of its validity. We find that increased alcohol consumption decreases well-being and that ignoring endogeneity leads to underestimation of this effect. This finding adds a further and previously under-appreciated dimension to the expected benefits that could be achieved with more effective alcohol policy in this region.

“…[3][4][5][6] Greater alcohol availability has been identified as a significant public health concern because of the increased consumption and associated alcohol-related harms that result from expanding the places where liquor can be sold in the community. 7 Previous research has found a strong relationship between liquor outlet proximity, alcohol availability, and higher rates of consumption and alcohol-related harms, such as premature mortality and risk of injury, among youth and adults. [8][9][10] Youth have been found to be especially vulnerable to increased alcohol availability as a result of early exposure to alcohol-related marketing and the normalization of alcohol consumption, which are both strong predictors of substance abuse problems in adulthood.…”

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this project was to evaluate how changes to the sale of alcohol in New Brunswick would be distributed across urban and rural communities, and low-and high-income neighbourhoods. The study objectives were to 1) estimate the population living close to alcohol outlets before and after liquor distribution reforms, 2) identify communities or regions that would be more or less affected, and 3) determine whether expanding access to alcohol products would reduce school proximity to retailers. METHODS:Data from Statistics Canada, Desktop Mapping Technologies Inc. (DMTI), and geocoded publicly available information were spatially linked and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The populations living within 499 m, 500-999 m and 1-5 km of an outlet were estimated, and the distances from schools to stores were examined by geographic characteristics and neighbourhood socio-economic status. CONCLUSION:The findings of this study demonstrate the importance of considering social, economic and health inequities in the context of alcohol policy reforms that will disproportionately affect low-income neighbourhoods and youth living within these areas.KEY WORDS: Alcohol policy; public health; youth; substance abuse La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.
