“…These large numbers may reflect the unique function of the city centre as tourist area. A recent study in Barcelona found that the number of alcohol outlets and level of alcohol promotion visibility were higher in tourist areas 45. The large numbers in our study may also indicate a new trend in the tobacco retail environment.…”

Ex ante evaluation of the impact of tobacco control policy measures aimed at the point of sale in the Netherlands

et al. 2022

IntroductionThe Netherlands aims to implement stricter tobacco control policies targeting the retail environment. This paper is an ex ante policy evaluation of the potential impact of the current tobacco display and advertising ban as well as future tobacco sales bans on tobacco outlet visibility and availability.MethodsBetween September 2019 and June 2020, all potential tobacco retailers in four Dutch cities (Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Haarlem and Zwolle) were visited and mapped using Global Positioning System. For each retailer selling tobacco, we completed a checklist on the visibility of tobacco products and advertising. Expected reductions in tobacco outlet visibility and availability were calculated per policy measure in absolute numbers (percentage or percentage point decrease) as well as density and proximity.ResultsOut of 870 tobacco outlets, 690 were identified with visible tobacco products/advertising. The display ban in supermarkets and small outlets (respectively) is expected to decrease the number (−15; −42 percentage points), outlet density per 10 000 capita (−0.9; −2.6) and proximity in metres (+27 m; +400 m) of outlets with visible products/advertising. The upcoming bans on vending machines and sales in supermarkets are expected to decrease the number (−12%; −31%), density (−0.7; −1.9) and proximity (+12 m; +68 m) of tobacco outlets. Further changes in the number, density and proximity (respectively) of tobacco outlets may be achieved with future sales bans in petrol stations (−7%; −0.4; +60 m) and particularly with a ban on sales in small outlets (−43%; −2.7; +970 m).ConclusionA display ban and a sales ban in small outlets will contribute most to reducing tobacco outlet visibility and availability, assuming that no market shift towards other tobacco outlets will take place.

“…Asimismo, Barranco es un distrito con atractivo turístico. Diversos estudios constataron que la presencia de turistas conlleva un aumento de venta en los establecimientos comerciales, así como el crecimiento de iniciativas promocionales y de niveles de consumo de alcohol (43,44). Estas condiciones podrían explicar la alta tasa de mortalidad por suicidio, dado que se ha establecido que el consumo de alcohol es un factor de riesgo para esta forma de muerte (45).…”

Objetivo: Describir la mortalidad por suicidio y sus características de comportamiento en Lima, Perú durante el período 2017 - 2022. Método: Este fue un estudio observacional descriptivo sobre la mortalidad por suicidio y sus características de comportamiento encontradas en Lima Metropolitana y sus distritos durante el periodo 2017 – 2022. Se describieron las características sociodemográficas y métodos de suicidio para el periodo 2017 – 2022. Luego, se estimaron las tasas de mortalidad estandarizadas por edad para Lima y sus distritos para cada año y para el periodo 2017 – 2021.Resultados: Se produjeron 559 muertes por suicidio durante 2017 – 2022 en Lima Metropolitana con una razón hombre/mujer de 2,6 y edad mediana de 37. El 68,78% fueron solteras, el 44,54% tenían educación secundaria, el 60,82% ocurrieron en el hogar siendo el ahorcamiento el principal método de suicidio con 70,98%. La tasa general de suicidios fue 5,52 por cada 100 000 habitantes para Lima Metropolitana durante el periodo 2017 – 2021. La mortalidad aumentó hasta un máximo en 2019 y desde entonces disminuyó. Los distritos con mayor mortalidad fueron Pucusana, Barranco y San Bartolo. Conclusiones: La mortalidad por suicidio mostró una tendencia decreciente desde el 2019 en Lima Metropolitana por lo que es imperativo mantener una vigilancia exhaustiva a largo plazo e implementar estrategias de prevención y atención en salud mental, particularmente en los distritos y grupos demográficos más afectados.

“…Coastal areas typically have warmer temperatures and more sunshine, increasing thirst and making people more likely to consume beverage. Additionally, bars, clubs, and restaurants serve alcoholic beverage due to the high demand from tourists and locals [81,82]. Another characteristic of this area is the fishing and maritime culture.…”

Leading consumption patterns of psychoactive substances in Colombia: A deep neural network-based clustering-oriented embedding approach

The number of health-related incidents caused using illegal and legal psychoactive substances (PAS) has dramatically increased over two decades worldwide. In Colombia, the use of illicit substances has increased up to 10.3%, while the consumption alcohol and tobacco has increased to 84% and 12%, respectively. It is well-known that identifying drug consumption patterns in the general population is essential in reducing overall drug consumption. However, existing approaches do not incorporate Machine Learning and/or Deep Data Mining methods in combination with spatial techniques. To enhance our understanding of mental health issues related to PAS and assist in the development of national policies, here we present a novel Deep Neural Network-based Clustering-oriented Embedding Algorithm that incorporates an autoencoder and spatial techniques. The primary goal of our model is to identify general and spatial patterns of drug consumption and abuse, while also extracting relevant features from the input data and identifying clusters during the learning process. As a test case, we used the largest publicly available database of legal and illegal PAS consumption comprising 49,600 Colombian households. We estimated and geographically represented the prevalence of consumption and/or abuse of both PAS and non-PAS, while achieving statistically significant goodness-of-fit values. Our results indicate that region, sex, housing type, socioeconomic status, age, and variables related to household finances contribute to explaining the patterns of consumption and/or abuse of PAS. Additionally, we identified three distinct patterns of PAS consumption and/or abuse. At the spatial level, these patterns indicate concentrations of drug consumption in specific regions of the country, which are closely related to specific geographic locations and the prevailing social and environmental contexts. These findings can provide valuable insights to facilitate decision-making and develop national policies targeting specific groups given their cultural, geographic, and social conditions.
