“…Although weekly alcohol use in adolescents has decreased in the UK [8], heavy episodic underage drinking is a growing public health concern in many European [9] countries, and is associated with an increased risk of violent behaviors [10], victimization [11], injuries [12], and unwanted sexual activities [13]. According to the ESPAD (European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs) report [14] in 2016 it is estimated that on average in Europe 35% of 15–16 year old students reported binge drinking over the past 30 days.…”

Objective Harmful levels of alcohol consumption in young people are prevalent and of increasing public concern in the western world. Rates of alcohol-related emergency hospital admissions in children and young people between 10 to 17 years were described, and the reasons for these admissions and their association with socio-demographic factors were examined. Methods E-cohort data were extracted from the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage Databank, which contained alcohol-related emergency hospital admissions (N = 2968) from 2006 to 2011 in children and adolescents aged 10 to 17 years in Wales. A generalised linear mixed model was fitted using a log-link with a population offset to the data to calculate incident rate ratios (IRRSs). Results There was a general decreasing trend from 2006 to 2011 in the number and rate of alcohol-related emergency hospital admissions; the mean age of admission was 15.4 (standard deviation 1.4) years. In each of the four youngest age groups (10–13,14,15,16 years), females had higher IRRs than males. Males had slightly higher IRR compared to females only in the oldest age group (17 years). IRRs increased with increasing deprivation. The majority (92%) of the admissions lasted one day and most of the admissions (70%) occured during the last three days of the week with a peak on Saturday. The length of stay in hospital was longer in cases when self-harm were present. Multiple admissions showed high prevalance of serious self-harm cases in females. The number of admissions with injuries and falls were higher for males than females. Conclusion Female children and adolescents were more likely to be admitted to hospital for alcohol-related reasons. These data illustrate the significant burden of alcohol-related harm in young people and highlight the need for interventions and policies that promote safe drinking practices among young people to prevent future alcohol-related harm during the life-course.

“…With regard to Germany, work around the established HaLT‐Hart am LimiT intervention model is currently directed at individualizing the intervention approach through identification of differential treatment demands and referral to appropriate community services . This approach acknowledges heterogeneity in alcohol misuse, psychosocial problems, and developmental risks in the patient population . However, given the limited postenrollment service utilization rate found in this study, lower threshold access to health services should be developed.…”

“…For example, Cleveland et al (2013) found that nonstudent emerging adults reporting high-risk drinking and daily alcohol use in general were at an increased risk for experiencing alcohol-related harms. Similarly, among underage drinkers, studies have also identified subgroups of drinkers, whereby more frequent, heavy drinkers are at a greater likelihood to report more alcohol-related harms (Diestelkamp et al, 2015; Reboussin, Song, Shrestha, Lohman, & Wolfson, 2006). Heterogeneous subgroups have also been identified among college students showing that heavy drinking groups are often characterized by more alcohol-related problems (e.g., Beseler, Taylor, Kraemer, & Leeman, 2012; Kuvass, Dvorak, Pearson, Lamis, & Sargent, 2014) and behavioral risks (e.g., Chiauzzi, DasMahapatra, & Black, 2013).…”

Research indicates that nonstudent emerging adults, as compared to their college-attending peers, are at higher risk for experiencing alcohol-related problems, including alcohol use disorders. The present study sought to extend the limited research on nonstudent drinking by (1) identifying sub-groups of nonstudent drinkers based on their drinking patterns and (2) determining the extent to which social-cognitive between-person factors related to drinking (i.e., social expectancies, perceived drinking norms, social drinking motivations) distinguish these sub-groups. Participants were 195 (65.1% men) nonstudent emerging adult heavy episodic drinkers recruited from the community. Mean age was 21.88 (SD = 2.08) years and 45.4% were unemployed. Latent profile analysis identified two classes based on drinking across 30 days. The “moderate drinkers” group (n = 143; 73.3%) reported consuming 10–11 drinks weekly and drinking two to three times per week, on average. The “heavy drinkers” class (n = 52; 26.7%) reported consuming 42–43 drinks weekly and drinking six to seven days per week. Both groups exhibited a cyclic pattern of drinking whereby weekday drinking was lower, with increases on the weekend; the heavy drinkers class had stronger weekend increases starting earlier. Heavy drinkers reported greater volume, frequency, and problematic drinking behaviors, as compared to the moderate drinkers. The heavy drinkers class also endorsed stronger social motives and perceived their peers to drink more. The present study offered unique insights into nonstudent emerging adult drinking patterns by identifying sub-populations of drinkers based on their past 30-day use. Knowledge gained from this study could aide in tailoring existing alcohol interventions to nonstudents to reduce alcohol-related harms.
