However, the differential impact of beverage-specific price increases on US population groups has yet to be studied. This study aimed to simulate the effect of beverage-specific price increases on alcohol use within subgroups of the adult US population defined by sex, educational attainment, and alcohol use category.&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;An individual-level microsimulation of the US population (aged 18–79 years) was used to simulate alcohol consumption from 2000 to 2019 based on individual characteristics (ie, sex, age, race, ethnicity, and educational attainment as a proxy for socioeconomic status categorised as high school degree or less, some college, and college degree or more) and previous alcohol use. The microsimulation model was generated via integration of diverse data sources including decennial US Census data, annual data from the American Community Survey, annual data from the National Vital Statistics System, annual data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and biennial, longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Policy parameters were informed by the existing literature. Four national policy scenarios were compared with a reference scenario without price change in 2019: a uniform price increase of 10% (scenario 1), a uniform price increase of 30% (scenario 2), a beverage-specific price increase of 30% for beer and spirits and 10% for wine (scenario 3), and a beverage-specific price increase of 50% for beer and spirits and 10% for wine (scenario 4). Individual-level effects on alcohol consumption were simulated using beverage-specific own-price elasticities. Sensitivity analysis assessed assumption-based correlation coefficient between alcohol consumption and the individual-level percent reduction in alcohol consumed; and the application of the beverage-non-specific own-price participation elasticity.&lt;h3&gt;Findings&lt;/h3&gt;Scenario 4 had the strongest effect on alcohol use overall and most effectively reduced consumption in high-risk groups: males and females with high alcohol use (more than 60 g of pure alcohol per day for males and 40 g of pure alcohol per day for females) and low educational attainment (high school degree or less) reduced their alcohol use by –17·30% (–17·62 g per day, credible interval [CI] –21·77 to –13·20) and –17·49% (–12·25 g per day, CI –14·72 to –9·58), respectively. In comparison, smaller relative changes were observed among groups at less risk of harm.&lt;h3&gt;Interpretation&lt;/h3&gt;Disproportionate increases in retail prices for the cheapest beverages, beer and spirits, might lead to a greater decline in consumption among high-risk groups. Pricing policies could thus be used as a powerful public health tool to mitigate the unequal alcohol-attributable burden of disease.&lt;h3&gt;F","PeriodicalId":56027,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Public Health","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":50.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144910990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to estimate global alcohol consumption from 2000 to 2020, and the global burden of alcohol-attributable harms from 2000 to 2019.<h3>Methods</h3>In this global analysis, adult per capita consumption data estimates were modelled on the basis of sales, survey, and traveller data. Drinking status and past 30-day heavy episodic drinking were estimated through regression analyses of 540 surveys from 174 countries. Alcohol-attributable harms were estimated using a comparative risk assessment methodology by combining alcohol consumption data with corresponding relative risks obtained from meta-analyses and cohort studies. Mortality and morbidity data were obtained from WHO Global Health Estimates.<h3>Findings</h3>Globally, average alcohol consumption in 2019 among adults was 5·5 L (95% uncertainty interval 4·9–6·2), which increased from 5·1 L (4·6–5·7) in 2000. From 2019 to 2020 alcohol consumption decreased to 4·9 L (4·3–5·6). In 2019, alcohol consumption was associated with 2·6 (2·3–3·1) million deaths (4·7% of all deaths) and 116·0 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost (4·6% of all DALYs lost). In contrast to alcohol consumption, the number of alcohol-attributable deaths decreased by 31·0% and DALYs lost per 100 000 people decreased by 27·4% from 2000 to 2019.<h3>Interpretation</h3>Alcohol is attributed to a large burden of disease, which disproportionately affects people in Eastern Europe and in Central and Southern Sub-Saharan Africa, and young people. Accordingly, these regions should implement policies such as alcohol taxation increases, availability reductions, and marketing restrictions to reduce alcohol-related harms.<h3>Funding</h3>WHO.","PeriodicalId":56027,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Public Health","volume":"160 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":50.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144910996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The US health-care system has high rates of health spending and poor health outcomes relative to other countries, although there is substantial variation within the country at both state and county level. Assessing which US counties have been most successful in achieving the Triple Aim, and which implemented policies are associated with high performance, could be valuable for developing policies that improve health care nationwide. In this study, we aimed to quantify progress towards the Triple Aim at the US county level.<h3>Methods</h3>In this ecological analysis, county-level data on each component of the Triple Aim were combined to assess health-care system performance from 2014 to 2019. Patient experience was assessed via a composite indicator, health outcomes via life expectancy, and low spending via purchasing power-adjusted health-care expenditure per capita. For each county, overall unadjusted performance scores were generated from data on each of the three aims. Adjusted performance scores were then calculated that controlled for key county characteristics outside of the control of the health system. Linear regression was used to assess which policy-relevant factors were associated with the best-performing counties.<h3>Findings</h3>Counties with higher unadjusted performance scores tended to have populations that were more educated, wealthier, had a higher proportion of residents in urban households, lower rates of obesity, and lower rates of smoking than counties with lower scores. After adjusting county scores for these underlying characteristics, counties in Rhode Island, Iowa, Idaho, Virginia, and Hawaii led in progress towards the Triple Aim, whereas the District of Columbia, Alaska, Delaware, Mississippi, and Oklahoma had the lowest scores. Regarding policy-relevant factors, progress towards the Triple Aim was associated with a prioritisation of managed care, expanded Medicaid coverage, and competitive hospital and insurance markets.<h3>Interpretation</h3>These findings highlight health system disparities and policies that were associated with health-care system performance. These results can help policy makers to develop strategies that reduce health-care spending, increase access to and quality of care, and ultimately improve health outcomes.<h3>Funding</h3>Peterson Center on Healthcare and Gates Ventures.","PeriodicalId":56027,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Public Health","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":50.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144910593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Greece, these pressures have converged in the past 15 years, exposing structural weaknesses and testing the health system's resilience. Despite successive reforms targeting funding, care delivery, and public health, persistent structural weaknesses, poor planning, and limited monitoring have undermined progress. Most policy responses have remained fragmented and are unable to fulfil their potential to address current public health challenges or prepare for future crises. Building health system sustainability and resilience requires more than enacting reforms. The reform process demands evidence-informed policy making, sustained political commitment, strong institutional capacity, and effective multisectoral coordination. Greece offers valuable lessons for countries facing similar pressures: resilience depends not only on policy adoption, but also on the institutions, resources, and accountability mechanisms that support implementation and translate policies into sustained action.","PeriodicalId":56027,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Public Health","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":50.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144910738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
