ABSTRACT
Objectives: Drug and alcohol treatment programs often have long delays between assessment and treatment
admission. The study examined the impact of days to treatment admission on the probability of completing
four sessions of care within an addiction treatment program implementing improvements in their admission
process.
Methods: Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to test the effect of wait time on retention in care.
Results: Findings demonstrate a strong decrement in the probability of completing four sessions of treatment
with increasing time between the clinical assessment and first treatment session.

3. Alcohol misuse, sexual risk behaviour and adverse sexual health outcomes: evidence from Britain's national probability sexual behaviour surveys
Catherine R.H. Aicken, Anthony Nardone and Catherine H. Mercer
Journal of Public Health 2011:33(2):262-271
ABSTRACT
Background Evidence for relationships between alcohol misuse, sexual risk behaviour and adverse sexual health outcomes exists from both population-level data and studies undertaken in specific groups. We examine changes in these associations using representative data from two consecutive surveys.
Methods Probability surveys conducted in 1990/91 and again in 2000/01 involving interviews with British residents aged 16–44.
Results The proportion reporting being drunk as their main reason for first heterosexual intercourse increased from 2.5% among those born in 1946–49 to 6.4% of those born in 1980–84. These respondents were more likely to report intercourse before 16, that sex had occurred too soon, and contraception non-use. Usual alcohol consumption in excess of recommended limits (‘heavy drinkers’) was more common among those reporting larger partner numbers and unprotected sex with 2+ partners/past year but not with STD clinic attendance/diagnosis. Male heavy drinkers were more likely to report sexual function problems and female heavy drinkers using emergency contraception. The magnitude of these relationships did not significantly increase between 1990/91 and 2000/01.
Conclusion In Britain, sexual risk behaviours and some adverse sexual health outcomes continue to be associated with excess alcohol consumption. These findings support addressing the link between alcohol misuse and sexual health in health services and through broader health promotion.
Keywords: alcolhol consumption, risk behaviour, sexual behaviour, survey

4. Alcohol's harm to others: reduced wellbeing and health status for those with heavy drinkers in their lives

Addiction 2011:106(6);1087-1094
ABSTRACT
Aims The impact of alcohol on those other than the drinker is an under-researched area with important policy implications. This study is a first step in investigating relationships between exposure to heavy drinkers in respondent's lives with measures of health status and wellbeing.
Design setting and participants A cross-sectional general population survey was carried out among 3068 New Zealand residents aged 12–80 years (response rate 64%) using an in-house computer-assisted telephone interviewing system.
Measurements Respondents' estimates of health status (European Quality of Life–5 Dimensions) and subjective wellbeing (Personal Wellbeing Index) were measured along with self-reports of heavy drinkers in their lives, demographic variables and own drinking.
Findings More than one in four of the sample had experienced someone they considered to be a heavy drinker in their environment in the past 12 months. An index of exposure to heavy drinkers, reflecting numbers of heavy drinkers and cohabitation, predicted lower health status and personal wellbeing while controlling for demographic variables and respondent's own drinking
Conclusions Cross-sectional data from a general population sample suggest that there is a relationship between exposure to heavy drinkers and reduced personal wellbeing and poorer health status. Exposure to heavy drinkers may have negative impacts for others.

5. Measuring costs of alcohol harm to others: A review of the literature
Héctor José Navarro∗, Christopher M. Doran, Anthony P. Shakeshaft
Drug and Alcohol Dependence 2011:114:87-99
ABSTRACT
Introduction: People other than the drinker experience harmful consequences from alcohol misuse, accounting for part of the economic burden to society. Little has been done on costing harm to others.
Aims:
1. To recognize the range of costs considered or not when evaluating harm to people other than the drinker.
2. Second, to identify the costing frameworks and quality of the costing used for this purpose.
Method:
Aliterature review was undertaken of various databases, government publications, dissertations, conference papers and reference materials. Publications were included for analysis if they reported costs on alcohol harm to others. Methodological adequacy of costing studies was assessed using a checklist modified from the Drummond 10-point checklist.
Results: In total, 25 publications including costs on alcohol harm to others were reviewed. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) was the harm to others most frequently cost. The cost-of-illness (COI) framework was used in 24 of the publications, while 1 employed a cost–benefit analysis (CBA) serving as starting point for further studies estimating intangible costs (e.g. victim’s quality-of-life (QoL) loss). Indirect costs (e.g. victim’s lost productivity) were quantified most frequently with the human capital approach. The majority of publications critically assessed on costing received an average quality score (17/25).
Conclusion: Few studies have reported costs on the magnitude from harm to people other than the drinker, therefore the overall economic burden of risky alcohol consumption across countries is underestimated.
This review may be considered a starting point for future research on costing alcohol harm to others.
Keywords: Alcohol, harm to others, Victims, Cost, Systematic review
6. Predicting and Measuring Premises-Level Harm in the Night-Time Economy
Simon C. Moore, Iain Brennan and Simon Murphy
Alcohol and Alcoholism 2011:46(3);357–363
ABSTRACT
Aims: To assess associations between measures of premises-level alcohol-related harm and risk factors for harm.
Methods: Thirty-two licensed premises with a history of on-premises violent assault were recruited. An environmental survey of the drinking context of each premises was undertaken. Levels of patron intoxication were assessed using a breathalyser and a visual assessment of customers at each premises. Premise-level violence was identified via routine police and hospital emergency department data. Analyses examined associations between hospital and police data, surveyor and objective ratings of intoxication and the relationship between intoxication, drinking context and violence at the premises level. Results: Hospital and police data were associated.
Aggregate levels of surveyor-rated intoxication were associated with aggregate alcometer breath alcohol levels. Analyses further suggest that premises with the highest levels of violence also had customers whose entry–exit change in intoxication was greatest, were open for longer hours, had alcohol promotions and had visible security staff present. Conclusions: Police and hospital data can
be used to identify violent premises and to assess outcomes from premises-level interventions to reduce violence. Relatively low-cost observational survey methods can be used to identify high-risk premises, and can be used as outcomes for premises-level interventions. Features of premises that promote intoxication are associated with violence, suggesting that targeting resources at risky premises
will likely address two public health concerns: excessive intoxication and assault-related injury.
7. Not Just the Booze Talking: Trait Aggression and Hypermasculinity Distinguish Perpetrators From Victims of Male Barroom Aggression

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research 2011:35(4)613-620
ABSTRACT
Background: To our knowledge, no research has assessed whether young male victims and perpetrators of barroom aggression differ in terms of their drinking patterns and predisposing characteristics. This study assessed the extent that frequent heavy episodic drinking (HED) and bar-going, trait aggression, and hypermasculinity were differentially associated with victimization versus perpetration for aggression occurring among young adult men in the setting of the public drinking establishment.
Methods: A random sample of 2,500 male students attending a local university and a local community college was invited to participate in an online survey. Participants were asked the number of times in the past 12 months they had experienced an incident of aggression at a bar in which (a) someone was physically aggressive toward them and (b) they were physically aggressive toward another person. Responses were coded as (i) any perpetration of aggression, (ii) victim only, (iii) no aggression. A composite variable of HED (5 or more drinks per occasion) and bar-going frequency was computed: (i) both HED and bar ≥ twice a month, (ii) only HED ≥ twice a month, (iii) only bar ≥ twice a month, and (iv) both ................
