“…Fritz and Avsec (2007) also suggest that activities that are enjoyable, purposeful, and in accordance with students' ability contribute to their subjective well-being. Some types of activities that affect the subjective well-being of adolescents are activities that have aspects of sports (physical), socialization, and personal enjoyment (Csikszentmihalyi & Wong, 2014;Stepstoe & Butler, 1996;White et al, 2018;Wong & Csikszentmihalyi, 1991).…”

The subjective well-being on this study concerned on adolescents’ self-reported assessments of their own subjective well-being. It is an issue of concern of students. This study aims to examine the level of subjective well-being among students. We performed this descriptive study in Jakarta, from January to February 2020. This research was conducted on 134 teenagers aged 17 to 18 years living in Jakarta. There were 115 (85.8%) women and 19 (14.2%) men. In this study, adolescents’ view about their subjective well-being were gathered through open-ended questions. This study uses qualitative mixed method design. The form consists of three open-ended questions pertaining to views of adolescents regarding the concept of well-being. The answers are then combined and collected under the general header. Data analysis uses MAXQDA analysis tools to develop thematic coding and take the highest frequency. The results found that adolescents’ opinions about subjective well-being include: productivity, positive emotion, social oriented, need satisfaction, minor challenges, health, religiosity, and independent.

“…In addition to direct taxation, regulation of days and hours of alcohol sales, and control over the sale of liquor licenses and constraints on alcohol sale outlets may help. (36)(37)(38) There is benefit in establishing a minimum legal purchasing age, but age restrictions vary globally, and policy impact likewise varies. (39) The effect of establishing a minimum legal drinking age on alcohol-related chronic disease mortality may be more pronounced in those who do not attend college.…”

Reducing the Global Burden of Alcohol‐Associated Liver Disease: A Blueprint for Action

et al. 2021

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major driver of global liver related morbidity and mortality. There are 2.4 billion drinkers (950 million heavy drinkers) and the lifetime prevalence of any alcohol use disorder (AUD) is 5.1%-8.6%. In 2017, global prevalence of alcohol-associated compensated and decompensated cirrhosis was 23.6 million and 2.5 million, respectively. Combined, alcohol-associated cirrhosis and liver cancer account for 1% of all deaths worldwide with this burden expected to increase. Solutions for this growing epidemic must be multi-faceted and focused on both population and patientlevel interventions. Reductions in ALD-related morbidity and mortality require solutions that focus on early identification and intervention, reducing alcohol consumption at the population level (taxation, reduced availability and restricted promotion), and solutions tailored to local socioeconomic realities (unrecorded alcohol consumption, focused youth education). Simple screening tools and algorithms can be applied at the population level to identify alcohol misuse, diagnose ALD using non-invasive serum and imaging markers, and risk-stratify higher-risk ALD/AUD patients. Novel methods of healthcare delivery and platforms are needed (telehealth, outreach, use of non-healthcare providers, partnerships between primary and specialty care/tertiary hospitals) to proactively mitigate the global burden of ALD. An integrated approach that combines medical and AUD treatment is needed at the individual level to have the highest impact. Future needs include (1) improving quality of ALD data and standardizing care, (2) supporting innovative healthcare delivery platforms that can treat both ALD and AUD, (3) stronger and concerted advocacy by professional hepatology organizations, and (4) advancing implementation of digital interventions. (Hepatology 2021;73:2039-2050.A lcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major driver of global liver-related morbidity and mortality. Around the world, in 2016, alcohol use was associated with 3 million deaths (5.3% of all deaths), surpassing hypertension and diabetes combined. (1,2) The purpose of our review is three-fold. First, we briefly review the global burden of ALD and place it in the context of relevant changes anticipated to drive future trends. Second, we discuss populationlevel screening for ALD and AUD for early recognition and management. Finally, we discuss strategies for mitigating the impact of ALD at the global level and offer focused solutions for delivering health care services at the regional and individual level.

“…White et al . 's study , an Australian model used previously to assess the impact of tobacco control measures on adolescent tobacco use , extends to the alcohol field. This earlier study also found an effect of control measures on adolescents, even though the measures were aimed mainly at adults.…”

“…Prevalence of drinking and of risky drinking were affected differentially by the measures included in the study by White and colleagues (although a slight decrease in adult drinking affected both). Negatively slanted news articles and change in trading hours, which was the subject of media discussion, predicted prevalence of drinking but not risky drinking (in the multivariate model).…”

“…White et al . 's study is innovative in that, rather than driven by policy change(s), it investigates the policy contributions to an observed change in consumption. While, as the authors point out, there will be additional secular contributors to the decline in adolescent alcohol use seen in Australia and elsewhere, the analysis provides a clear indication of the important contribution policy change has made to the dramatic changes observed.…”
