“…Since peaking around the turn of the millennium, adolescents' alcohol use has fallen markedly in many Western countries. This decline in teenagers' drinking has been observed in diverse contexts such as Australia (Livingston et al, 2018), Canada (Elgar et al, 2011), Denmark (Andersen et al, 2014), Germany (Richter et al, 2013), Italy (Siciliano et al, 2016), the Netherlands (Garretsen et al, 2008), Norway (Brunborg et al, 2014;, Sweden (Norström and Svensson, 2014;Raninen et al, 2014), the USA (Jang et al, 2017), and several other countries (see for instance Jackson et al, 2017;Osaki et al, 2009;Peltzer and Pengpid, 2015;Sanchez et al, 2015;Sznitman et al, 2016;Tantirangsee et al, 2014).…”

Background: Adolescent alcohol consumption has fallen in most Western countries over the past two decades, while immigrants and children of immigrants from low-consumption countries constitute a growing proportion of teenagers in many Western nations. We investigate the extent to which immigrants and children of immigrants have contributed to the decline in adolescent heavy episodic drinking in Oslo, the capital of Norway.Methods: We use repeated cross-sectional survey data on adolescents in grades 9-11 in Oslo (aged around 14–16, N = 54,474) from 1996 to 2018. We use data on heavy episodic drinking/intoxication in the past 12 months (dichotomized), immigrant background, sex and grade. We decompose the trend into components attributable to changes in the demographic composition of the adolescent population (by immigrant background, grade and sex), and to changes in drinking patterns within different groups. Confidence intervals (CIs) are obtained by bootstrap resampling.Results: The proportion of adolescents with immigrant backgrounds increased from 21% to 35% over the time span. The proportion reporting having been intoxicated fell from 42% to 25%. Most of the decline stems from reduced heavy episodic drinking in the majority population, accounting for 70.8% of the reduction (95% CI: 67.5–74.2). The increased proportion of adolescents with an immigrant background accounts for 21.4% of the decline (95% CI: 19.2–23.8).Conclusions: An increasing proportion of immigrants and children of immigrants with low alcohol consumption explains one-fifth of the decline in the prevalence of adolescent heavy episodic drinking in Oslo.

“…The overall prevalence of smoking in Brazil among people 18 years or older in 2013 was 15% (21.9 million people), a significant reduction from the 34% reported in 1989 6,7 . There was a concomitant decline in tobacco usage among individuals aged 25 years or less 8,9,10 . This reduction could largely be attributed to tobacco control measures including price increases, smoke-free air laws, marketing restrictions, health warnings, anti-smoking media campaigns, and cessation treatment programs 11 .…”

“…Among Arab Muslim the prevalence of alcohol use in the past year was 9.6% [24]compared with 39.8% [22] among Chinese adolescents. However, alcohol use was still common among adolescents in many developing countries such as Brazil [25], Mexico [26] and Chile [27]. Also, according to the Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health published by WHO, the prevalence of women's current drinking in Western Paci c regions was not decreasing as other regions of the world.…”

Background Self-harm and drinking were both serious problems in adolescents and many studies presented evidence of their association. However, gender differences in this association was seldom deeply discussed. Our study was aimed to evaluate the prevalence of self-harm and explore its association with drinking behaviors by gender and investigate the extent to which the gender differences exist in the association between self-harm and drinking. Methods A total of 32362 students in grades 7 to 12 were anonymously surveyed and included in our study using two-stage, stratified probability proportion sampling in Beijing, China. Self-harm, drinking behaviors and other basic information were obtained from anonymous questionnaire. Demographic variables, self-harm as well as drinking behaviors were analyzed with Chi-square test and Gamma test between genders and the gender differences in this association was analyzed by log-binomial regression. Results The total prevalence of self-harm was 13.7% with no significant gender difference (=0.352, P=0.553). The prevalence of self-harm decreased with age in girls (G=-0.163, P<0.001). Self-harm was associated with drinking behaviors in both boys and girls. The Log-binomial regression demonstrated that girls in 16-19 years were at lower risk of self-harm than girls in 12-15 years while this association was weaker in boys (1.493 vs 1.128). The higher OR for self-harm was found among girls with early drinking experiences compared with boys (2.565 vs 1.863). Girls who ever drunk (2.211 vs 1.636), were currently drinking (3.400 vs 2.122) and binged drinking (6.357 vs 3.924) were of greater risk for self-harm than boys. Conclusion Self-harm has significant positive association with drinking among high school students and girls with drinking behaviors were at higher risk of suffering self-harm. Identifying adolescents’ drinking behaviors is of vital importance to self-harm prevention and special attention should be focused on younger girls.
