Abstract:
Aims & Design This overview analyses the recent emergence of the concept of alcohols harm to others (AHTO) and the potential policy implications embedded in this research perspective. The overview is an account of ways in which recent alcohol research has grasped the kind of harm that goes beyond the drinker. It positions the dimensions of alcohol's harm to others as a research perspective in relation to other established research approaches to alcohol-related problems. Findings Several concepts presented within different disciplines have focused on how adverse consequences of drinking go beyond the individual drinker. However, the scientific discussion is still characterised by an obvious conceptual instability. Alongside the growing research interest in alcohol's harm to others there is a political discourse stressing the urgency of alcohol policy measures protecting innocent victims against damage from others' alcohol use. Conclusions In drawing attention to the interactional nature of alcohol-related harm, the AHTO perspective brings a novel syntagmatic and cross-cutting aspect to established traditions in alcohol research and forms a unique scientific approach. The AHTO perspective has the potential for creating a political will to move the alcohol policy agenda forward, but the question of a suitable and credible term is unresolved. Conceptually, the AHTO perspective is still in a state of flux, while politically it is loaded with considerable ambitions and interests related to causal attributions and ethical conclusions embedded in the research perspective.

Abstract:
Although the production and consumption of alcoholic beverages in Europe ranks among the highest in the world, resulting in many social and public health problems, measures to create an EU level alcohol control policy are yet to be made. Alcoholic beverages are currently regarded mainly as one product among many other products and the related restrictions are, for the most part, market oriented. The Nordic Countries, the author argues, cannot therefore expect much from EU as regards alcohol policy. Rather, he concludes, it is the other way around. However, Article 129 of the Treaty of Maastricht could perhaps form the basis for a general EU health policy.

Abstract:
Hugh LaFollette, Jeff McMahan, and David DeGrazia endorse the most popular and convincing argument for the strict regulation of firearms in the U.S. The argument is based on the extensive, preventable harm caused by firearms. DeGrazia offers another compelling argument based on the rights of those threatened by firearms. My thesis is a conditional: if these usual arguments for gun control succeed, then alcoholic beverages should be controlled much more strictly than they are, possibly to the point of prohibition. The argument for this thesis involves developing a careful analogy between firearms and alcohol and defending the analogy against objections.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis draws on historical and social policy perspectives to examine the factors influencing development and change in alcohol treatment policy between 1950 and 1990. The study uses data from primary and secondary documentation and from taped interviews. Three themes are highlighted as particularly relevant to an examination of policy trends. The first of these is the emergence and evolution of a `policy community'. Spearheaded by psychiatrists in the 1960s, the `policy community' broadened to include other professional groups and the voluntary sector by the 1990s. The second theme concerns the role of research in influencing the nature and direction of treatment policy. The study indicates increasing use of research as the rationale for policy and illustrates the move towards a `contractor' relationship between research workers and policy makers. The final theme deals with the influence on policy of ideological frames and changing conceptualisations of the alcohol problem. Two major shifts were important for treatment, the re-discovery of the disease concept of alcoholism in the 1950s and the emergence of a new public health model of alcohol problems in the 1970s. Within these broad themes, the study includes an examination of tensions - between different professional perspectives, between government departments with differing responsibilities, between different ideologies - and of moves to secure consensus in the formulation and implementation of treatment policy. The final chapter addresses shifts in thinking from the re-emergence of a `disease' model of alcoholism in the 1950s, to a `consumptionist' (population-based) model in the 1970s, towards a `harm reduction' approach to alcohol problems management in the 1990s. The thesis concludes that over the past forty years competing paradigms of the alcohol problem have emerged and gained policy salience within particular historical-social contexts in the search for policy consensus to manage the problematic aspects of alcohol consumption.

Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to study the Europeanization of Swedish alcohol policy from 1995-2006. It analyses the development of Swedish and European alcohol policy and answers the following research questions: How has alcohol policy developed on the national and the EU level during this period? What are the Swedish alcohol policy initiatives on the EU level? What does the interplay between Swedish and European policy processes look like? Of interest for this dissertation is also how the Swedish view on alcohol policy has been received on EU level. The dissertation comprises four related articles and an introductory chapter. In the articles official documents and interviews are analyzed in the context of the literature on Europeanization, using the concepts framing, narrative and new modes of governance. Article I explores the history of negotiations between Sweden and the EU on the traveller’s allowances question. Article II and III analyse how Swedish authorities, first through research and later through formal policy-making during the Swedish Presidency, tried to reframe alcohol on the EU-level. Finally, the fourth article is a comparative analysis of the Nordic retail monopolies, analyzing how the monopolies have developed and reacted to national and international pressures on their activities. The dissertation shows that Swedish authorities have influenced the EU level by putting alcohol on the agenda, and offered pressure and economic support to make sure that alcohol as a public health question has become and been kept as a prioritized question. This development is, however, nested inside the changing scope and emphasis of the EU. The emergence of a European alcohol policy as a public health-oriented process has been made possible through a new focus on the EU level, with increased cooperation between member states and a trend toward harmonization of policy and frames when it comes to alcohol.

Throughout the world drunk drivers are responsible for numerous accidents resulting in the injury or death of many drivers, passengers, cyclists, and/or pedestrians. South Africa experiences very high rates of injuries and deaths from road accidents. Young people, especially students and their peers, represent a high risk group because of their inexperience on the roads, and the exacerbation of this risk when alcohol limits are exceeded. In order to determine students’ and their peers’ perceptions and cognisance of their degree of intoxication, and to assess their knowledge, attitudes and practices, survey data and measures of breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) were collected from 229 young adults over nine evenings at a single pub frequented by students and their peers in a South African university city.

Abstract:
Alcohol is an important economic and cultural commodity. It also represents a significant public health problem. Alcohol is the third greatest risk factor for the global disease burden even though half of the global population abstain. Currently alcohol control strategies are inadequate and unable to combat the health, social and economic problems caused by a legal drug that has become more widely available, more affordable and promoted aggressively. This thesis considers how alcohol control policy is governed, developed and implemented at global, European, UK and Scottish policy levels with specific focus on the role of the alcohol industry in this area. Contemporary modes of governance are increasingly characterised by a multi-agency partnership approach where unelected stakeholders, including corporate partners, contribute to the development and implementation of policy and of action out with policy. The research investigates the role of the alcohol industry within discourses and action in efforts to reduce alcohol related harm. It aims to identify alcohol industry action at global, European, UK and Scottish levels of authority in order to offer an overview of the extent of action and in turn its influence on policy discourses. The research provides an analysis of the alcohol industry as a political operator. The alcohol industry engages with, and in some respects is, a stakeholder active within public health policy circles in relation to alcohol control. This engagement spans science, research, corporate social responsibility, philanthropy, lobbying and direct engagement within official policy circles. The thesis uses the alcohol industry as a case study that highlights a need for research on how influence is wielded by corporate interests within policy circles. There is acknowledgement in various theoretical accounts on governance that changing modes of governance have resulted in the creation of a space for non-state actors within policy circles. However, thereafter, the role of corporate actors is habitually underestimated and even overlooked all together. The argument presented here is that the role of powerful economic interests is rapidly gaining significance as a factor in policy making. This must be explored further in order to ascertain the extent of the influence and the ways in which economic actors exert influence. Methodologically the research examines policy documents, and industry communications as well as adopting an investigative approach to the strategies and agendas of a variety of policy stakeholders. The outcome is a narrative derived from a synthesis of existing sources that explores the area of alcohol control policy which focuses on the involvement of corporate stakeholders with a clear conflict of interest within the process of developing health policy in relation to alcohol. The results indicate that the influence of corporate actors represents a significant and growing threat to the development and implementation of effective evidence based alcohol control policy. Overall the research is intended to make a contribution to academic and public debates on governance and to support public health efforts to reduce alcohol related harm. It attempts to explore the accumulation of corporate action over multiple levels of authority and to describe and evaluate the effects of this accumulative action on public health policy in relation to alcohol.

Full text
Abstract:

Should the power to address the socio-cultural and political issue of alcohol consumption and regulation lay in that of the legislators or, the legislated? I propose that when alcohol legislation and regulation - The Botswana Alcohol Tax Levy are formed without invested cooperation from the general population, often the policy is non-sustainable and subject to change. The sustainability of the policy is primarily measured on its efficiency and effectiveness at addressing alcohol consumption and abuse. The failure to both reduce alcohol consumption and fund alcohol preventative care brings forth the conversations regarding needed change. My analysis provides the local and global implications alcohol consumption and regulation has had in Botswana, the United States, and the United Kingdom with an in-depth Policy Analysis Matrix directly discussing the Botswana Alcohol Tax Levy. The Tax Levy and other regulations created by the government have often overlooked the ground-level realities of the social issues regarding alcohol consumption, at the expense of the general populace overall health. The traditions and cultural heritage of alcohol, in regards to the Botswana people, cannot be under-mined. From my analysis, most of the issues arising from legislation stem from the discrepancies found between European Western Developmental practices and Botswana Traditional practices and law. The analysis highlights that the current position the government is taking in regards to alcohol consumption and regulation is ill informed. The current Alcohol Tax Levy neither lessens the consumption patterns of the population. Nor, does the Levy help to alleviate the current social problems excessive alcohol consumption is having in Botswana.

The article states that after the introduction of customs in the Russian Far East in the late XIX century the growth of smuggling along the land and sea border in the Russian Far East began. Alcohol was the main smuggling commodity. For the production and subsequent smuggling of alcohol in the territory of North-East China — Manchuria, factories were created, which produced alcoholic products supplied both in Transbaikalia, and Priamurye and Primorye. A major role in countering smuggling was played by the ranks of the Korchem guards, who not only identified small smugglers — Chinese and Kazacks, but also detained representatives of Manchurian alcohol factories together with Russian police officers.

Abstract:
Marijuana is the most commonly used drug for young adults. A greater understanding of risk factors associated with recent use can inform health prevention messaging. Pooled data from the 2015-2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health were utilized among 89,446 individuals ages 18-34. Weighted logistic regression analyses, controlling for covariates, were utilized to determine conditional associations to past-30-day use. A sizeable percentage (18.5%) of individuals reported smoking marijuana in the past 30 days. Individuals who identify as African American or Multi-Racial, Gay/Lesbian, Bisexual, reported their health as poor, not covered by health insurance, reported prior drug use, or who had reported any thoughts/plans of suicide were at risk for use. Of concern, high rates of alcohol (14.7%) and cocaine (1.50%) were found among users. We believe our findings can inform harm reduction efforts and policy creation.

Abstract:
Background: Currently, there is no consensus on how to measure cannabis retailer density. Researchers and policy makers need clear measures to support policies that mitigate unintended harms of legalization. To address this gap, our unique study leverages cannabis retailer location data in Los Angeles County (LA), California, and home addresses from an LA-based cohort of young adults (21-25 years) to develop a series of cannabis retailer density metrics and assess their relationship with cannabis use. Methods: Drawing from GIS-based measures of alcohol outlet density, we developed a series of cannabis retailer density metrics: proximity, counts within 5- 10- 15-, and 30-minute driving distances, and considered retail licensure. Retailer addresses were compiled by webscraping cannabis registries (e.g. Weedmaps) and conducting field visits (March 2019). Home addresses were geocoded for participants who completed a 2019 survey (n 1097). A series of retailer metrics was created for each person. We fit a series of multi-level logistic regression models with a random intercept by census tract (CT) (models adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, college student, and CT median household income) to assess which retailer metrics were associated with any past month cannabis use. Results: Thirty percent of participants used cannabis in the past month, and 430 retailers were operating in LA in 2019. Thirty-nine percent of participants had a retailer within a mile from home and an average of 14 retailers within a 10-minute drive. Licensed retailers were less prevalent; the nearest licensed retailer was on average 2.4 miles from home. The odds of past month cannabis use significantly increased by 3% (OR:1.03, 95% CI:1.00–1.07) for every additional licensed retailer within a 10-minute drive in adjusted model; use was also significantly associated with licensed retailers within a 30-minute drive (OR:1.01, 95% CI:1.00–1.01). Proximity metrics were not significantly associated with past month cannabis use.

Abstract:
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on mental health and alcohol use in the US, however there is little research on its impacts on cannabis use. Considering the role of cannabis as a coping strategy or self-medicating behavior, there is a need to understand how individuals who use cannabis have adapted their use amid the pandemic. Therefore, this study examined changes in self-reported cannabis use among US adults in the context of COVID-19 pandemic by (1) describing trends of use during the first 8 months of the pandemic among adults who used cannabis in this period; and (2) characterizing trajectories of use within sociodemographic subgroups and by state cannabis policy status. Methods and Findings: The sample consisted of 1,761 US adults who used cannabis at least once during the 8 month study period from the nationally representative Understanding America Study. Linear mixed-effect models were used to model changes in the number of days of past-week cannabis use across 16 waves from March 10, 2020, to November 11, 2020. Compared to early March, the number of days cannabis was used per week was significantly higher at the start of April (β=0.11, 95% CI=0.03, 0.18) and May (β=0.21,95% CI=0.05, 0.36). In subsequent months (June - November), the number of days of cannabis use returned to levels comparable to early March. Trajectories of cannabis use across the study period generally did not differ across sociodemographic groups. Conclusions: In the US, adults who used cannabis reported statistically significant increases in cannabis use days at the start of the pandemic (April - May 2020), compared to March 2020, in the overall sample and among several sociodemographic groups. In Summer and Fall 2020, cannabis use days attenuated to levels comparable to March. Though increases in use were marginal among many groups, the evolving pandemic and the growing concern for the mental health of segments of the U.S. population warrant close monitoring of coping behaviors, including substance use.

Abstract:
Objetivos: Revisar las características clínicas del cuadro. Abordar el consumo de alcohol como predictor de mala respuesta de la Esquizofrenia. Material: Antecedentes Personales: Inicio de abuso de alcohol a los 16 años. Varias intervenciones en urgencias por episodios de intoxicación etílica en los últimos 10 años. Motivo de consulta: Varón de 26 años que es traído a urgencias por la policía local tras ser visto con soliloquios, risas inmotivadas y discurso incoherente. Desde hace 1 año cambio significativo y global de su personalidad, objetivándose un repliegue relacional absoluto con abandono de intereses, falta de iniciativa y retraimiento sobre sí mismo. Disminución ejecutiva global. EXPLORACIÓN PSICOPATOLÓGICA: Atención dispersa. Discurso con asociaciones laxas, perdida de hilaridad y pararrespuestas. Labilidad afectiva. Ideación delirante bizarra “que en mi casa hay fantasmas, que la tele habla sola, tengo un cable cruzado en el corazón, llevo meses desaparecido en la selva". Inquietud psicomotriz. EVOLUCIÓN: Durante el ingreso discurso incoherente y pensamiento desorganizado. Conductualmente evitativo y tendente al aislamiento social. Referencialidad y temores delirantes. Tras 3 meses discurso escaso, aunque con mayor espontaneidad. Afecto embotado. MÉTODO Se realiza una búsqueda bibliográfica sobre el tema en Pubmed de los últimos 5 años, utilizando las palabras claves adicción, alcohol y esquizofrenia. RESULTADOS Un metaanálisis de personas con Esquizofrenia encontró una prevalencia de por vida de Trastorno por consumo de alcohol del 24,3%. En un estudio, el 18,9% de los que tenían un diagnóstico de psicosis inducida por sustancias presentaban el alcohol como sustancia principal. CONCLUSIONES - La dependencia alcohólica deteriora el cuadro clínico de la esquizofrenia, y también deteriora el curso y el pronóstico de la enfermedad. - Aunque no existe una "misión imposible", tratar a pacientes con psicosis y adicción sigue siendo un desafío complejo para la investigación y la práctica.

Abstract:
Objetivo: La comorbilidad médica en la adicción por alcohol es compleja y en ocasiones puede llegar a resultar mortal. Presentaremos el caso de un paciente de 43 años que acude al servicio de urgencias traído por la Policía Nacional por ideas de perjuicio. Material y método: Revisión sistemática de la literatura científica publicada en PubMed. Resultados: Hombre de 43 años con dependencia por alcohol grave, que acude al servicio de urgencias traído por la policía nacional por presentar episodio de agitación psicomotriz en domicilio por ideación delirante de perjuicio, sospechando que un francotirador le quería disparar, asegurando haber visto un punto rojo en la pared de su casa que seguía sus movimientos. A su llegada, se encuentra inadecuado, con pérdida de distancia con el entrevistador, hiperfamiliaridad, perplejo, hiperalerta, inatento, bradipsiquico, con desorientación temporo-espacial, ambitendencia a las órdenes sencillas, marcha dubitativa y llamativo descuido en el autocuidado. Se realiza analítica sanguínea en la que destaca rabdomiolisis severa con hipertrasaminasemia grave, sin repercusión en la función renal. El paciente posteriormente refiere quejas de dolor generalizado y astenia. Se realiza TC Craneal en el que se objetivan lesiones periventriculares inespecíficas. Inicialmente, se sospecha Sd. Wernicke, por lo que se pauta tratamiento con Tiamina i.v. Destaca en historia clínica consumo de alcohol a razón de media botella de vodka con bebidas energéticas que suspende de forma brusca días antes del ingreso, con lo que inicia con cuadro compatible con Delirium Tremens, donde prevalece ideación de perjuicio, alucinaciones visuales y táctiles (bichos) y confusión. Recupera capacidad cognitiva con limitaciones, lagunas de memoria, dificultad para cálculo y organización en general. Recupera orientación ad íntegrum. Discusión: Al inicio del ingreso se sospecha un Sd. Wernicke por lo que se inicia tratamiento con Tiamina, en base al cuadro confusional y alteración de la marcha, en un paciente con consumo crónico de alcohol y deterioro de la alimentación y el autocuidado. A pesar de ello, el paciente persiste con sintomatología confusional en la que va incorporando nueva clínica psicótica (alteraciones sensoperceptivas en forma de alucinaciones visuales y táctiles), por lo que se sospecha delirium tremens. Conclusiones: el delirium tremens se caracteriza por ser un cuadro confusional agudo por la deprivación por alcohol. Pueden aparecer alucinaciones visuales, delirios, desorientación, labilidad emocional, estupor, temblores, sudoración, hipertensión, taquicardia, agitación psicomotriz, pudiendo llegar a a presentar convulsiones. Representa la complicación más grave del síndrome de abstinencia alcohólica, aumentando significativamente la morbilidad y mortalidad de los pacientes.

Abstract:
[This Report links with the video "The policy & practice of drug, alcohol & tobacco use during Covid-19" http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11911/171 ]. The COVID-19 pandemic is most notably a physical health crisis, but it strongly affects mental health as well. Social isolation, job and financial losses, uncertainty about the real impact of the crisis, and fear for physical well-being affect the mental health of many people worldwide. These stressors can increase emotional distress and lead to depression and anxiety disorders. At the same time, there are enormous challenges on the health care side. People in need of mental health support have been increasingly confronted with limitations and interruptions of mental health services in many countries. In May 2020, the United Nations already warned that the COVID-19 pandemic has the seeds of a major mental health crisis if action is not taken. The panel discussed and analysed mental health in times of the COVID-19 pandemic with reference to South Africa, Nigeria, Germany and Spain.
