“…This harm can come from strangers or people known to the drinker and can range from minor nuisances, like being annoyed by litter or noise, to harm as serious as physical or sexual assault. Measuring harm from others is difficult (Johansson et al, 2006) and there is little consensus on the best way to go about this (Bloomfield, Hope, & Kraus, 2012;Connor & Casswell, 2012). There is a need for research comparing various measures of social harm from alcohol (Dawson & Room, 2000); we found no research on subjective measurement of harm from others due to their drinking, likely to the relatively recent rise in interest in this area.…”

Aim: Harm to others from alcohol consumption has become a World Health Organization research priority and the subject of current or planned research in over 20 countries. The aim of the current study is to compare the efficacy of two measures commonly used to ascertain the subjective level of harm experienced by respondents that is attributable to the drinking of others. Design:A cross-sectional survey.Setting: Australian respondents were recruited using computer-assisted telephone interviewing.Participants: 448 adult respondents were asked about their experience of harm attributable to the alcohol consumption of others. Measures:Respondents were asked whether they were harmed a little or a lot by the drinking of both strangers and heavy drinkers known to them, and were asked to rate this level of harm from 1 to 10. They were also asked questions about the types of harm they experienced.

“…There were significant differences by country and also by types of alcoholic beverages regarding what people think about the quantity of alcohol contained in a drink. And the fact that there was such a limited understanding of the concept of units across all countries calls into question the value of survey research attempting to quantify consumption in this way, and points towards the advantages of using total number of drinks as a preferable, albeit imperfect, measurement mechanism (Bloomfield et al, 2013).…”

“…From a linguistic perspective, recognition of these sharp contrasts has led to suggestions 376 A. THICKETT ET AL. that terms such as 'drunkenness' are not suitable for cross-national research (Bloomfield et al, 2013). In this context, it is not surprising that assertions have been made to the effect that 'additional empirical research examining the current state of intoxication related vocabulary is clearly needed' (Levitt et al, 2009, p. 449).…”

“…The main component of the SMART project comprised a drinking survey questionnaire designed to pilot different approaches to the collection of data about people's alcohol-related behaviours and perceptions (for the results of this part of the project see www.alcsmart. ipin.edu.pl/index.html; Bloomfield, Hope, & Kraus, 2013). The focus groups sought to interrogate the cultural meaning of the main terms and concepts used in the questionnaire and it is these data that are presented and discussed in this article.…”

“…To assess consumption with low recall bias (because bias increases with the length of recall period; Gmel & Daeppen, 2007) and to gather data on acute (current) consumption levels, a standard weekly drinking measure was used (Bloomfield, Hope, & Kraus, 2012). Participants were asked, "Thinking back over this last week, how many drinks did you have on each day?"…”

An online survey was conducted to examine the alleged association between alcohol sponsorship of sports and alcohol consumption and attitudes toward sponsoring brands by Australian university sportspeople (i.e., university students representing their university in competitive sports; N -501; 51% female). A third (33%) of participants reported receipt of alcohol industry sponsorship. Multiple regression analysis revealed an association between disordered consumption (i.e., alcohol abuse) and sportspeople's receiving direct-to-user sponsorship in the form of product samples, volume club rebates, vouchers, or prizes. Positive attitudes toward alcohol sponsorship in sport correlated with dangerously excessive (i.e., acute) drinking. The evidence suggests that policy makers, sporting organizations, and universities should target specific sponsorships and consump tion outcomes rather than considering an overall ban on alcohol industry sponsorship in sport. Results suggest that student-targeted policy and governance alternatives directed at team culture, attitudes toward alcohol, and more subtle forms of sponsorships (i.e., discounted product and vouchers) may be appropriate.
