Burden of disease attributable to addictive substances related risks: ILLICIT DRUGS (% DALYs in each subregion) Proportion of DALYs attributable to selected risk factor <0.5% 0.5-0.9% 1-1.9% 2-3.9%
Conclusions • The burden of licit and illicit drug problems is increasingly evident. • From a public health perspective tobacco and alcohol use carry much higher burdens that illicit drug use. • Alcohol and drug polices need to address the relative harms of these substances. • In the management of psychoactive substance problems (prevention and treatment) more attention should be paid to epidemiologic evidence and developments in neuroscience.
WHO’s Comparative Risk Assessment Collaborating Group • 27 groups: • Core, metholodology, etc. Group • 26 risk factor groups • Alcohol group: • J Rehm, R Room, M Monteiro, G Gmel, K Graham, N Rehn, C T Sempos, U Frick, D Jernigan
Patterns of drinking • Countries assigned hazardous drinking scores, a numeric indicator of hazard per litre of alcohol consumed • Information drawn from research literature supplemented by key informant questionnaires • Applied to two areas: injuries and CHD.
Dimensions of patterns of drinking • High usual quantity of alcohol per occasion • Festive drinking common – at fiestas or community celebrations • Proportion of drinking occasions when drinkers get drunk • Low proportion of drinkers who drink daily or nearly daily • Less common to drink with meals • Common to drink in public places
Pattern of drinking 2000(based on CRA) Patterns ofdrinking 1.00 to 2.00 2.00 to 2.50 2.50 to 3.00 3.00 to 4.00
Aspects of alcohol used in estimating alcohol attributable fraction (AAF) for different conditions Volume of drinking Drinking pattern hazard score (predominance of intoxication) Prior alcohol dependence Alcohol- attributable conditions* Physical diseases (except CHD) Coronary heart disease Injuries Depression *AAF = 1 by definition
Alcohol-related disorders • Chronic disease: • Conditions arising during perinatal period*: low birth weight • Cancer*: lip & oropharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, laryngeal cancer, female breast cancer • Neuropsychiatric diseases: alcohol use disorders, unipolar major depression, epilepsy • Diabetes* • Cardiovascular diseases: hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke • Gastrointestinal diseases*: liver cirrhosis • Injury: • Unintentional injury: motor vehicle accidents, drownings, falls, poisonings, other unintentional injuries • Intentional injury:self-inflicted injuries, homicide, other intentional injuries * AAF based on volume of drinking only
Estimating AAFs • Alcohol-specific categories • Chronic health conditions • CHD • Depression • Injuries

Future • Increase in alcohol-related burden for two reasons: • The disease categories related to alcohol are relatively increasing: chronic disease, accidents and injuries • Alcohol consumption is increasing in the most populous parts of the world • Patterns are stable if not getting worse • If there are no interventions!!!
