In unserer Studie beziehen wir uns übrigens auf die alten Grenzwerte für riskanten Alkoholkonsum (12g [Frauen]/24g [Männer] Reinakohol pro Tag). Mit den neuen Grenzwerten wäre der Anteil also deutlich(!) höher: edoc.rki.de/handle/17690...

Alkoholproduzenten setzen auf verantwortungsvollen Konsum und Risikokompetenz. Unsere Berechnungen zeigen: Mindestens die Hälfte ihres Umsatzes lässt sich auf eindeutig gesundheitsschädigenden Alkoholkonsum zurückführen. Wie glaubwürdig sind also solche Bekenntnisse?

Ich freue mich riesig, dass meine Forschungsarbeit zur Schätzung zwischenmenschlicher Gewalt durch Alkoholkonsum von der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Suchtforschung und Suchttherapie e.V. mit dem Nachwuchspreis ausgezeichnet wurde. ☺️🥳

👉 Hier gehts zum Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.la...

Can alcohol use explain the increase in educational inequalities in all-cause mortality after 2010 in the USA? A three-way interaction analysis buff.ly/llMWFbY @carolinkilian.bsky.social

For further reading, current US context, and guidance for future research, I recommend this nice commentary from Robinson & Veerman doi.org/10.1016/S246...

On that note, mortality will be part of the SIMAH model to come. Stay tuned.

Thanks to all my coauthors who made this work possible (esp. as the entire revision process took place during my mat leave) 🙏

Simulation of Alcohol Control Policies for Health Equity (SIMAH) SIMAH is an international collaboration between researchers at three world-leading centres in alcohol research and policy modelling, led by investigators at CAMH.

Now, raising prices for beer and spirits markedly, we found larger declines in alcohol use among these high-risk groups. And larger reductions in intake will lead to larger declines in health harms.

All details on the microsimulation model (www.camh.ca/simah) are available in the Supplement.

In our modelling, we increased US average prices for alcoholic beverages: either to the same extent or for beer and spirits in particular

Why beer and spirits? They are pretty cheep (compared to wine) and preferred by high-risk alcohol users (men, very high consumption, low socioeconomic status)

Targeting alcohol use in high-risk population groups: a US microsimulation study of beverage-specific pricing policies Raising retail prices on alcoholic beverages preferred by high-risk groups (males, those of low socioeconomic status, and those with heavy alcohol use…

More than three years of research have now been published: doi.org/10.1016/S246... 🥳 @thelancetph.bsky.social #openaccess #publichealth

Can #alcohol pricing be used to lower consumption particularly in populations experiencing the most harm?

Our US modelling study suggests: YES.
