“…They also substantiate research documenting the considerable risk for women from heavy, often male, drinkers in the household and, for men, from drinkers outside their family. Further, our findings are consistent with recent data from outside the United States (Stanesby et al, 2018) that highlight the significance of the proximity of male harmful drinkers for women's victimization by others who have been drinking. Our study contributes to the AHTO literature by elucidating heightened risk for physical aggression harm to heavy drinking women.…”

“…These data are vital for informing and supporting the introduction of evidence-based alcohol control measures. To reduce the burden of alcohol use, prevention efforts should include population-wide measures to reduce heavy drinking overall (Xuan et al, 2015) and targeted prevention with individuals who have an HDHH (Stanesby et al, 2018), especially women (Devries et al, 2014).…”

“…For instance, it is unknown whether the risk due to an individual's own drinking differs for marital problems versus having one's property vandalized by someone else who has been drinking. Having a heavy drinker in one's life, particularly in the same household, is another important alcohol-related contextual risk factor for AHTO (Stanesby et al, 2018) that has been under-studied in the United States, especially for different AHTO types.…”

The data came from 8,750 adult men and women in two parallel 2015 U.S. national surveys conducted in English and Spanish. Both surveys used computer-assisted telephone interviews and two-stage, stratified, list-assisted, random samples of adults ages 18 and older. Results: One in five adults experienced at least one of ten 12-month harms because of someone else's drinking. The prevalence of specific harm types and characteristics differed by gender. Women were more likely to report harm due to drinking by a spouse/partner or family member, whereas men were more likely to report harm due to a stranger's drinking. Being female also predicted family/financial harms. Yo unger age increased risk for all AHTO types, except physical aggression. Being of Black/ other ethnicity, being separated/widowed/divorced, and having a college education without a degree each predicted physical aggression harm. The harmed individual's own heavy drinking and having a heavy drinker in the household increased risk for all AHTO types. The risk for physical aggression due to someone else's drinking was particularly elevated for heavy drinking women. Conclusions: Secondhand effects of alcohol in the United States are substantial and affected by sociodemographics, the harmed individual's own drinking, and the presence of a heavy drinker in the household. Broad-based and targeted public health measures that consider AHTO risk factors are needed to reduce alcohol's secondhand harms.

Over the past century, differences in alcohol use and related harms between males and females in the United States have diminished considerably. In general, males still consume more alcohol and experience and cause more alcohol-related injuries and deaths than females do, but the gaps are narrowing. Among adolescents and emerging adults, gaps in drinking have narrowed primarily because alcohol use among males has declined more than alcohol use among females. Among adults, alcohol use is increasing for women but not for men. Rates of alcohol-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths all have increased among adults during the past two decades. Consistent with the changing patterns of alcohol use, increases in these outcomes have been larger for women. Recent studies also suggest that females are more susceptible than males to alcohol-induced liver inflammation, cardiovascular disease, memory blackouts, hangovers, and certain cancers. Prevention strategies that address the increases in alcohol consumption and unique health risks for women are needed.

“…Alcohol use accounted for 7.7% of Disability Adjusted Life Years burden in 2016 . Road traffic accidents, injuries and harm from others’ drinking especially from known drinker and family members have been highlighted as acute social consequences. Compared to some other countries, as reported by parents/carers, children in Vietnam are most vulnerable to specific harm from others’ drinking and women are most vulnerable to their partner's heavy‐drinking (Callinan et al , 2018, unpublished data).…”

Introduction and Aims Alcohol‐related harm reduction may target individuals, their households or communities. This study investigates the prevalence of and socioeconomic inequalities in alcohol use and alcohol‐related consequences (injury, accident, property loss and interpersonal violence) at the family‐level. Designs and Methods A cross‐sectional survey of 2394 households was conducted in eight provinces from six socioeconomic regions and two metropolitan cities in Vietnam. Family‐level alcohol use and injury were computed from individual data, while other measures were on a household basis. Unstandardised and indirectly standardised concentration index was used to measure degree of expenditure‐based inequality in alcohol use and its consequences. Results Over the previous 12 months, 88.5% and 46.2% of households had at least one current‐drinker and one heavy episodic drinking person, and in 41.7% the heavy episodic drinking person was the breadwinner. About 5.3% of households suffered alcohol‐related injury, accident or property loss; 11.4% reported alcohol‐related interpersonal violence. Poor and near‐poor households suffered the double‐burdens of both having heavy episodic drinking person and alcohol‐related harm. A modest socioeconomic gradient was observed with all types of drinker, more concentrated among higher living‐standard households, especially in urban areas. However, there was a persistent high‐level inequality disadvantaging lower living‐standard families, especially in rural areas, in suffering all measured alcohol‐related harms. Discussion and Conclusions Alcohol use and alcohol‐related consequences are highly prevalent in Vietnam. Lower socioeconomic households, especially in rural areas, are important target groups for alcohol‐related harm prevention and reduction interventions. The concentration index appeared to be a useful measure of inequalities in alcohol‐related harms.
