Elasticity of alcohol consumption, alcohol-related harms, and drinking initiation in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: Price elasticity of demand for alcohol in LMIC is similar to that found in high-income countries, and there is an imperative need for research on the association between alcohol price or taxation and alcohol-related harms and drinking initiation in LM IC.

Journal ArticleDOI
Combining best evidence: A novel method to calculate the alcohol-attributable fraction and its variance for injury mortality
TL;DR: A new way to calculate the alcohol-attributable fraction for injury based on different dimensions of drinking, mortality data, experimental data, survey research, new risk scenarios, and by incorporating different distributions of consumption within populations is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life-time risk of mortality due to different levels of alcohol consumption in seven European countries: implications for low-risk drinking guidelines
Kevin D. Shield,Gerrit Gmel,Gerhard Gmel,Pia Mäkelä,Charlotte Probst,Robin Room,Juergen Rehm +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the maximum acceptable voluntary premature mortality risk was determined to be 1 in 1,000, with sensitivity analyses of 1 in 100, and the variation in the lifetime mortality risk at drinking levels relevant for setting guidelines was less than that observed at high drinking levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Underestimation of alcohol consumption in cohort studies and implications for alcohol's contribution to the global burden of disease
TL;DR: Underestimation of alcohol consumption in cohort studies is less than in typical population surveys, and the current practice of uplifting survey estimates to 80% of total population consumption in global burden of disease studies appears to be appropriate.
