Alcohol’s Harm to Others: Victim Data on Prevalence and Risk Factors in a Nationwide Population Survey
Alcohol’s harm to others (AHTO) is a growing concern globally. Yet research in Asia, especially among multi-ethnic populations, remains scarce. This cross-sectional study utilized national population data from the Health and Lifestyle Survey, and aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors associated with AHTO in Singapore. Among 6465 respondents, findings revealed a lower prevalence of reported harm from others’ drinking (9.6%) compared to Western countries. Notably, young people (aged 15–34 years); ethnic minorities (Indians and Malays); individuals who are separated, divorced, or widowed; and victims who are drinkers themselves (whether light or hazardous drinking) were more susceptible to AHTO. These results underscore the need for targeted interventions and policies to mitigate AHTO, considering its impact on individuals’ health, well-being, and societal costs. This study contributes to the understanding of AHTO in a Southeast Asian context, informing public health strategies to address alcohol-related harms beyond the drinker.
