“…Another possible limitation that we cannot rule out that the different modes of administration may have affected response patterns. However, a recent Swedish study found no association between mode of administration and harm from known people's drinking 28 . We also recognise the limitations of cross-sectional data with regard to inferring causality.…”

Background Studies have examined the self-rated health (SRH) of the drinker, but only few have examined the health of those affected by a heavy drinker. This Nordic study aimed to examine the association between exposure to heavy drinkers and SRH. Methods Data come from surveys from the five Nordic countries that participated in the Reducing Alcohol-Related Harm Standardized European Survey in 2015 (n = 7065 aged 18–64 years). Variables included a five-point Likert-scale question on one’s SRH, a question on whether the respondent knew a heavy drinker in the last 12 months, and covariates. The ‘fair’, ‘poor’ and ‘very poor’ response categories were combined and are referred to as poor SRH. Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between knowing a heavy drinker and one’s SRH. Results Country-pooled adjusted analyses showed a significant relationship between knowing (and being negatively affected by) a heavy drinker and poor SRH [odds ratios (OR) = 1.39, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.02–1.89 for heavy drinker in household; OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.07–1.42 for other known heavy drinker, compared to not knowing a heavy drinker or knowing a heavy drinker, but not being negatively affected]. A graded relationship appeared such that increasing proximity of the known heavy drinker increased likelihood to report poor SRH. Conclusion Knowing and being negatively affected by someone close who drinks heavily increases the likelihood of reporting poor SRH. These results have implications for public health messaging regarding the well-being of relatives of heavy drinkers.

“…face-toface interviews, telephone interviews, self-administrated postal and Web questionnaires). Previous studies suggest that the level of self-reported harm from others' drinking may be higher in surveys using telephone interviews than in studies using self-administrated postal or Web questionnaires (Johnson, 2014;Sundin et al, 2018). Response rates also varied between surveys (Moskalewicz et al, 2016).…”

Background: In order to curb alcohol's harm to others, it is important to identify the contexts where people experience such harm. Objectives: To examine whether frequency of drinking in four different locations was associated with increased likelihood of experiencing harm from others' drinking. Methods: Data stem from surveys conducted in the five Nordic countries in 2015 (N = 7065, aged 18-64 years) as part of the European Union's Joint Action on Reducing Alcohol Related Harm (RARHA). Three types of harm from others' drinking in the past 12 months were measured: verbally abused by, harmed physically by, and experienced a serious argument with someone who had been drinking. Respondents also reported frequency of drinking in their own home, in others' homes, in a pub/bar/club/restaurant, and outdoors the past 12 months. Results: Country-pooled adjusted analyses showed that higher frequency of drinking in pubs/bars/clubs/restaurants, outdoors and in someone else's home was associated with increased likelihood of experiencing all three harms. Frequent drinking in one's own home was weakly associated with experience of harm. Women, young individuals, respondents without tertiary level of education and individuals who reported drinking almost daily were at increased risk of experiencing harm from others' drinking. Conclusions: Frequent drinking on licensed premises and outdoors was most clearly associated with experiencing harm from others' drinking, suggesting that these are important arenas for preventive efforts. Women, young individuals, those with low educational level and the most frequent drinkers are important target groups for preventive efforts.
