“…Sex differences in experience related to harm from others are also reported by others (19, 20). One explanation for this is that, because men may be more familiar with the noise/chaos or other types of non-bodily effects, they may be less sensitive to non-bodily harm than female students.…”

BackgroundIn many countries worldwide, heavy drinking can cause harm not only to drinkers but also to those around them.ObjectiveTo examine the prevalence and predictors of secondhand effects of alcohol use among students in Vietnam.DesignIn this cross-sectional study, a multistage sampling strategy was used to select 6,011 students (from the first to final study year) of 12 universities/faculties in four provinces in Vietnam. During class, students filled in a questionnaire asking for demographic information, and about alcohol-related problems and details of secondhand effects of alcohol during the past year. Exploratory factor analysis of the secondhand effects indicated two factors: non-bodily harm and bodily harm. A logistic regression model was used to explore the association between predictors and non-bodily harm and bodily harm.ResultsThe prevalence of secondhand effects of alcohol is high among students in Vietnam: 77.5% had non-bodily effects and 34.2% had bodily effects. More than 37% of the population reported three to four non-bodily effects and more than 12% reported two to three bodily harms due to the drinking of others. However, most respondents who reported secondhand effects experienced these less than once per month. Factors most strongly associated with the yearly non-bodily harm were the weekly drinking habits of the people the respondents live with, and living in a smaller city; the factor most strongly associated with the yearly bodily harm was the respondent's own alcohol-related problems. Moreover, weekly drinking habits of the people the respondents live with, and respondent's own alcohol-related problems are strongly associated with the frequent experience of non-bodily and bodily effects of alcohol.ConclusionsIn addition to dealing with alcohol-related harm of drinkers themselves, preventing secondhand effects should also be a major focus of prevention policy.

“…Vários estudos têm demonstrado que a dependência de substâncias psicoati vas e suas consequências são um grave problema de saúde pública em vários locais do mundo, com grande impacto social e econômico para os países 1 , os quais afetam não somente o indivíduo que usa álcool e drogas, mas também todo o seu núcleo familiar [2][3][4] . Em termos da proporção dessa interferência familiar do consumo de álcool e drogas, chama a atenção o fato de que mais de 25 milhões de indivíduos brasileiros habitam com um membro usuário de substâncias psicoati vas, segundo informações do Levantamento Nacional de Famílias de Dependentes Químicos (amostra com 3.153 famílias), cujas informações foram divulgadas em 2013 pela Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP).…”

ResumoO conceito de codependência, embora muito popular no meio clínico do campo das dependências químicas, segue sendo considerado um constructo muito criticado e controverso no meio científico. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar o estado da arte sobre o constructo de codependência de familiares de usuários de álcool e outras drogas quanto à etiologia e outros possíveis fatores relacionados. Tratase de uma revisão da literatura através da busca de artigos indexados em bases de dados, publicados nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol, utilizando-se os descritores codependência, transtornos relacionados ao uso de substâncias e família. Foram incluídos 16 artigos nesta revisão, os quais retratam que o conceito de codependência segue teorizado e pouco explorado de forma empírica. Tentativas de escalas de rastreio foram realizadas sem replicações de estudos de campo. De uma forma geral, aqueles que se autoidentificam como pessoas codependentes, uma vez que recebem suporte, relatam alguns benefícios positivos. O termo, mais do que um conceito psicológico de fato validado, parece representar um movimento social que deu empoderamento aos membros das famílias de usuários de álcool e outras drogas. Mais estudos de campo sobre a validação conceitual da codependência e os fatores a ela relacionados devem ser conduzidos, a fim de corroborar sua real utilidade clínica e ampliação de evidência da existência desse fenômeno. Palavras-chave:Codependência, transtornos relacionados ao uso de substâncias, família. AbstractThe concept of codependency is very popular in the clinical setting in the field of addiction but continues to be a highly criticized and controversial construct in the scientific literature. The objective of this paper was to evaluate state-of-the-art information on the construct of codependency of family members of users of alcohol and other drugs with regard to etiology and other possible related factors. In this literature review, databases were searched for indexed articles published in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, using the keywords codependency, substance-related disorders, and family. A total of 16 articles were included in the review; according to these articles, the concept of codependency continues to be essentially theoretical and little explored empirically. Attempts have been made to use screening scales, but replication in field studies are lacking. Overall, individuals who self-identify as codependent report positive benefits -probably because they receive support. The term codependency, more than a validated psychological concept, seems to represent a social movement that has empowered family members of users of alcohol and other drugs. More field studies are necessary to achieve the conceptual validation of codependency, as well as to investigate factors related to it. Only then will the real clinical usefulness of this phenomenon be confirmed, and the body of evidence of its existence expanded.

“…Roughly 10% of the US population report AHTO in the past year [8,9], and persons harmed by drinkers in the past year also tend to report higher levels of depression [10,11] and distress [3] as well as lower personal wellbeing [12]. Women [2,[12][13][14][15][16][17], young adults [8,14,[16][17][18][19][20] and persons who belong to minority racial/ethnic groups [21,22] are more likely to report AHTO. These findings are all essential to understanding the role of AHTO in society.…”

Introduction and Aims Alcohol‐related harms to others (AHTO) are consequences of alcohol use borne by persons other than the drinker. This study assessed whether the odds of experiencing AHTO are associated with alcohol availability and taxation policies. Design and Methods This study pooled data from four waves of the National Alcohol Survey (n = 20656 adults). We measured past‐year AHTO exposure using three binary variables: physical (pushed/hit/assaulted or property damage by someone who had been drinking), family or financial (family/marital problems or financial harms by someone who had been drinking) and driving AHTO (riding in a vehicle with a drink‐driver or being in a drink‐driving crash). Policies included bar and off‐premise alcohol outlet density (separately), alcohol retail hours, beer and spirits taxes (separately) and monopoly on retail/wholesale alcohol purchases. Results Monopolies were associated with 41.2% lower odds of physical harms [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.45, 0.77, q < 0.001 correcting for multiple analyses], and a 10% increase in bar density was associated with a 1.2% increase in odds of driving‐related harms ( e ln(1.1) * β=1.01, 95% CI 1.00, 1.02, q = 0.03). Among men, beer taxes were associated with lower odds of physical harms ( eln(1.1) * β=0.93, 95% CI 0.88, 0.98 q = 0.03) and monopolies were associated with lower odds of physical (aOR = 0.45, 95% CI 0.35, 0.59, q < 0.001) and driving harms (aOR = 0.66, 95% CI 1.00, 1.02, q = 0.03). Discussion and Conclusions Monopolies, taxes and outlet density are associated with odds of some AHTO. Future longitudinal research should test whether physical availability and taxation policies may be protective for bystanders as well as drinkers.
