The aim of this review was to present updated evidence to demonstrate an association between alcohol consumption and STIs and evaluate the causal nature of this link, as well as to present interventions that reduce alcohol consumption and its effect on STIs. We conducted a systematic review according to the PRISMA guidelines using PubMed and Embase databases. Cohort studies and case-control studies were included. Any level of alcohol use served as the exposure variable, with the outcome restricted to non-HIV STIs, as reviews on alcohol use and HIV already exist. In total, 11 publications satisfied the inclusion criteria. The evidence suggests that there is an association between alcohol use, especially heavy drinking occasions, and STIs, with eight articles finding a statistically significant association. In addition to these results, there is indirect causal evidence from policy studies, and from the field of decision-making and sexual behavior with experimental evidence, that alcohol use increases the likelihood of risk-taking sexual behavior. It is important to have a deeper understanding of the association to develop effective prevention programs at community and individual levels. Preventive interventions should be implemented targeting the general population, in addition to specific campaigns directed at vulnerable subpopulations in order to reduce the risks.</p>","PeriodicalId":73420,"journal":{"name":"International journal of alcohol and drug research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10270666/pdf/nihms-1898457.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9715237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this study were to examine associations between alcohol consumption and exposure to and liking of alcohol marketing activities in Thailand. \u0000Methods: Data were obtained from the Thailand International Alcohol Control Policy study in 2012/2013 with 5,808 respondents aged betwee 15 and 65 years. Logistic regression models were applied to determine factors associated with liking alcohol advertisements and being a current drinker, regular drinker and binge drinker. \u0000Results: Of all respondents, 75% were exposed to alcohol advertising on television followed by sports sponsorship (69%) and point of sale (66%). Youth reported higher levels of exposure to alcohol advertising via all activities/channels, particularly online media, than adults (except radio). Respondents with high exposure to alcohol advertising were more likely to like alcohol advertising (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=7.32, 95%confidence interval (CI): 4.91-10.92), compared to respondents who never exposed to alcohol advertising. The odds ratios of being a drinker (AOR=2.28, 95%CI: 1.82-2.85), a regular drinker (2.10, 1.57-2.81) and a binge drinker (2.57, 1.94-3.41) were significantly higher among those who highly liked alcohol advertising compared with those who did not. \u0000Conclusion: Thailand should place greater restrictions on alcohol advertising and marketing activities.","PeriodicalId":73420,"journal":{"name":"International journal of alcohol and drug research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46247083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design/Setting/Participants: A total of 2,339 undergraduate students (862 male, 1309 female) in Singapore participated in an online survey. Measures: The Covid-19 Stressors Questionnaire (C19SQ) is a developmentally influenced, Covid-19 related stress scale, used alongside mental health measures (GAD & PHQ) and substance use. Structural equation modeling was used to model the association between four types of Covid-19 related stressors and past month smoking and heavy drinking while accounting for student mental health, family socio-economic status, gender and race/ethnicity. Findings: Stress related to Covid-19 social restrictions was associated with increased likelihood of heavy drinking and smoking behavior, whereas stress related to health concerns was associated with decreased likelihood of smoking and heavy drinking. Covid-19 related stressors related to resource constraints and future uncertainties were not associated with young adult substance use. Conclusions: Our finding that Covid-19 stressors related to Social Restrictions and Health Concerns were particularly salient for university student’s substance use, but in opposite directions, extend prior work by demonstrating that young adult substance use behavior is differentially impacted by specific types of Covid-19 stress and point to areas where public health and clinical intervention efforts can focus in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic for this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":73420,"journal":{"name":"International journal of alcohol and drug research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47493774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
