“…Moreover, a web-based design guarantees participants anonymity and minimizes the risk for interviewer bias and bias due to fear of negative consequences related to certain answers. Furthermore, public opinion surveys typically suffer from low response rates [39]. A response rate of 68% for the current study increases both the validity and the generalizability of our findings.…”

BackgroundAlcohol-related problems at professional sporting events are of increasing concern and alarming reports are often reported in international media. Although alcohol consumption increases the risk for interpersonal violence, it is viewed as a focal element of large football events. Sweden has a long tradition of high public support for strict alcohol-control policies. However, little is known about public opinions on alcohol intoxication and the support for interventions to decrease intoxication at football events. The current study explored the public opinion towards alcohol use, intoxication and alcohol policies at professional football matches in Sweden.MethodsA cross-sectional design was utilized and a random general population sample of 3503 adult Swedish residents was asked to participate in a web survey during 2016 (response rate 68%).ResultsIn total, 26% of the respondents supported alcohol sales at football events. Over 90% reported that obviously intoxicated spectators should be denied entrance or evicted from arenas. The support for regulations limiting alcohol availability varied with background factors such as gender, alcohol use and frequency of football event attendance.ConclusionsThere is a strong public consensus for strategies and policies to reduce alcohol sales and intoxication levels at football matches. This public support has implications for our preventive efforts and will facilitate the implementation of strategies and policy changes.

“…In a survey targeting 1000 randomly selected Swedish 16-19-year-olds, about 20 percent of the adolescents were classified as having parents with alcohol problems. Further, 44 percent reported that they think someone close to them drinks too much alcohol and about 22 percent of these responded that this has hurt them or caused them problems (Elgán & Leifman, 2013). The group of youth at risk of alcohol related and other problem behaviours associated with problematic familial use of alcohol is thus of significant size.…”

The aim of the present study is to assess the association between problematic alcohol consumption in the family and youth alcohol consumption and to explore the extent to which this association is moderated by conditions in school in terms of schools' degree of student focus. We use data from the Stockholm School Survey performed among 10,757 ninth grade students and the Stockholm Teacher Survey performed among 2,304 teachers in the same schools. Multilevel logistic regressions were performed. The results showed that problematic alcohol consumption in the family was associated with a higher likelihood of heavy drinking among adolescents. The association was weaker in schools with a strong student focus, indicating a compensatory effect of conditions in school. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…For instance, available international estimates suggest that 8-23% of all children have parents with mental health problems [1,2] while 8-30% grow up with at least one parent having alcohol drinking problems [3][4][5]. Estimates in Sweden are in line with these figures [6][7][8], which puts a large proportion of Swedish children at risk for many acute and long-lasting negative consequences such as poor mental health, substance use problems and poorer academic achievement [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. For instance, parental mental health problems such as mood and anxiety disorder and depression appear to have a high and long-lasting risk for children to develop own depression, somatic morbidity and higher mortality [16,17], which may also be explained by genetic vulnerability [18].…”

Aim: To examine the extent to which structured action plans, i.e. collaborative individual plans (CIPs), used by professionals within the psychiatric care, substance use treatment services and social services, evaluate if clients have children, and if professionals take actions if clients do have children. According to Swedish law, a CIP should be established when a client is in need of care from more than one branch of the care network. Professionals who meet adult clients have the opportunity to identify children at risk. Including a question in the CIP on whether a client has a child is a good approach to identify children in need of support. Methods: Cross-sectional data from professionals were collected prior to attending a three-day CIP course. A total of 705 individuals (n ¼ 797 invited) responded to the questionnaire. Results: More than 90% reported that they meet clients for whom a CIP should be established, and 52.6% of these (n ¼ 346) were aware of an existing CIP template within their organization. Approximately 30% (n ¼ 203) reported that this template included an item on whether the client has one or more children. Of these, a majority reported ensuring that the children receive adequate care (83.3%, n ¼ 169), and that they follow up on the receipt of such care (62.6%, n ¼ 125). Conclusions: The care network needs to implement CIPs to a higher degree, and CIP templates need to include items about the clients' children to ensure that children at risk are identified and thereby can receive adequate support.

Prevalence of adolescents who perceive their parents to have alcohol problems: A Swedish national survey using a web panel

Abstract: These results indicate that the problem is widespread. Our findings are similar to previous research where a more indirect methodology has been adopted, using either psychiatric interviews or self-reported alcohol consumption of adults, to estimate the magnitude of the problem.
