Introduction: Sexual harassment as a political/legal issue was revitalised by the #MeToo movement in 2017. We estimate the prevalence and development of alcohol-related sexual harassment (ASH) across industries over the years 2015 to 2021, including potential changes from 2017, and assess differences in the risk of ASH according to industry- and individual-level characteristics.
Methods: Based on annual surveys (2015-2021) among employees in 21 Norwegian industries (observations N = 11,512, individuals N = 6353).
Article Synopsis
- Alcohol use among adolescents in Nordic countries has decreased significantly, with the exception of Denmark, while cannabis use remains low and stable overall.
- Data analyzed from a survey of 15- to 16-year-olds from 2003 to 2019 indicates a decline in total substance use occasions among adolescents.
- The study suggests that cannabis use is increasingly substituting or co-occurring with alcohol use, supporting the 'substitution' and 'hardening' hypotheses, but not the idea that both substances are declining in parallel.
The Declining Trend in Adolescent Drinking: Do Volume and Drinking Pattern Go Hand in Hand?

Traditionally, adolescent drinking cultures differed between Nordic and Mediterranean countries; the former being characterised by low volume and relatively frequent heavy episodic drinking (HED). Across these drinking cultures, we examined the associations between alcohol volume and HED with respect to (i) secular trends at the country level and (ii) individual-level associations over time. The data stem from the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD) conducted among 15-16-year-olds in Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, France and Italy, employing six cross-sectional surveys from 1999 to 2019 (n = 126,126).

Int J Environ Res Public Health
June 2022
Since 2000, adolescent alcohol use has declined substantially in many high-income countries, particularly in Northern Europe. This study examined whether birth cohorts in Norway who experienced different levels of alcohol consumption in mid-adolescence differed in drinking behaviour when they reached young adulthood. We analysed data from annual population surveys in Norway (2012-2021).

Focusing on postmillennial cohorts of adolescents, we revisit the question of whether sports participation is a risk factor for alcohol use.
Method: This study analyses data from four waves (2017-2020) of the MyLife longitudinal study.
