Assessing alcohol industry penetration and government safeguards: the International Alcohol Control Study.

Background: The alcohol industry uses many of the tobacco industry's strategies to influence policy-making, yet unlike the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, there is no intergovernmental guidance on protecting policies from alcohol industry influence. Systematic assessment of alcohol industry penetration and government safeguards is also lacking. Here, we aimed to identify the nature and extent of industry penetration in a cross-section of jurisdictions.

A composite index of provincial alcohol control policy implementation capacity in Thailand.

Background: There is a well-published literature on the effectiveness and stringency of alcohol control policies, but not many studies focus on policy implementation, where policies transform into impact. The objective of this study is to create a composite index that measures the capacity for implementing effective alcohol control policies across all provinces in Thailand.

Methods: Based on the international literature, we developed a list of key indicators for tracking the implementation of alcohol policies at the subnational level.

The Association among Alcohol Consumption Patterns, Drink-Driving Behaviors, and the Harm from Alcohol-Related Road Traffic Injuries Due to the Drinking of Others in Thailand.

Thailand has one of the highest rates of traffic-related fatalities and alcohol-related road traffic injuries globally. Previous studies focused on alcohol consumption and road traffic injuries. However, no existing studies investigate the association between drink-driving behaviors and road traffic injuries due to the drinking of others.

Quantitative tools and measurements for assessing the implementation of regulatory policies in reducing alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harms: A scoping review.

Issues: Implementation of alcohol control policy is a global priority as alcohol contributes to negative individual health and societal impacts. However, there are no available reviews that comprehensively provide tools and measurements for assessing the implementation of alcohol control policy. This study reviews tools and measurements for assessing alcohol policy implementation.

Barriers and Facilitators to the Implementation of Effective Alcohol Control Policies: A Scoping Review.

Implementation of effective alcohol control policies is a global priority. However, at the global and national levels, implementing effective policies is still challenging, as it requires commitment from multiple stakeholders. This review provides a synthesis of barriers and facilitators to implementing effective alcohol control policies.

Thailand Prevalence and Profile of Food Insecurity in Households with under Five Years Children: Analysis of 2019 Multi-Cluster Indicator Survey.

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and profile of food insecurity in households with children under 5 years old using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) in Thailand. We integrated FIES into the 2019 Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). A total of 861 households were successfully interviewed with FIES.

Associations between alcohol consumption trajectory and deaths due to cancer, cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality: a 30-year follow-up cohort study in Thailand.

Objectives: This study examined the association between alcohol consumption trajectory and deaths due to cancer, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and all-cause mortality in Thailand.

Design: Data were obtained from a Thai prospective cohort study with more than 30 years of follow-up (n=1961).

Setting: All participants resided in Bangkok and its vicinity.

Price elasticity of demand for manufactured cigarettes and roll-your-own cigarettes across socioeconomic status groups in Thailand.

Background: Pricing policies have been proven to be effective in reducing tobacco consumption. However, studies investigating the effectiveness of pricing policies across different types of tobacco products and socioeconomic status (SES) groups are limited, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries.

Objective: This study aimed to quantify the price elasticity of demand for different types of cigarettes across different SES groups.

Alcohol's harm to others and subjective well-being: Cross-sectional studies in Lao People's Democratic Republic and Thailand.

Introduction And Aims: Previous studies have confirmed that the number of heavy drinkers in a household negatively correlates with the subjective well-being of individuals in the household. However, limited studies have investigated the experiences of alcohol's harm to others (HTO) and subjective well-being, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between experiences of HTO and subjective well-being in two selected low- and middle-income countries.
