Item Alcohol, gender, culture and harms in the Americas: PAHO Multicentric Study final report(PAHO, 2007)Data from the Multicentric Study on Gender, Alcohol, Culture and Harm, sponsored by PAHO are shown to highlight alcohol consumption profiles and alcohol-related predictors and outcomes for 10 countries in 2005: Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and USA. Data from Argentina, Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, Uruguay and USA were previously collected as part of the international study on Gender, Alcohol and Culture (GENACIS). New data using comparable indicators were collected from Belize, Brazil, Nicaragua and Peru. Wide differences were seen in volume of alcohol consumption and heavy episodic drinking between countries, even those classified in the same WHO sub region. This new survey data highlight the importance of disaggregating sub regional WHO data to the country level in order to see differences in consumption and corresponding risk of alcohol –attributable outcomes at the country level and thus inform country-specific alcohol policies capable of addressing the specific alcohol consumption profiles and problems.Item Alcohol, género, cultura y daños en las Américas: Reporte final del estudio multicéntrico OPS(Organización Panamericana de la Salud, 2007)[Extraido del prefacio] El alcohol es un importante factor de riesgo de morbilidad y mortalidad en las Américas. En general, los niveles de ingesta de alcohol en las Américas son mayores que el promedio global, en tanto que los índices de abstinencia, tanto para hombres como para mujeres, son consistentemente inferiores. En el año 2002, en términos de carga de morbilidad, el alcohol causó aproximadamente 323,000 muertes, 6.5 millones de años de vida perdidos y 14.6 millones de años de vida ajustados a la discapacidad en la Región, abarcando resultados de enfermedad crónica y aguda en neonatos y ancianos. Los hombres tienen mayores niveles de carga de morbilidad atribuible al alcohol en comparación con las mujeres, lo cual podría deberse principalmente a su perfil de consumo de alcohol, tanto en términos de un mayor volumen total.Item Assessing Sustainable Development Goal Target Indicator 3.5.2: Trends in alcohol per capita consumption in the Americas 1990–2016(2021)[ABSTRACT]. The objective of this study was to estimate trends in alcohol per capita consumption from 1990 to 2016 in the Region of the Americas, covering 35 Member States. Data from the WHO Global Information System on Alcohol and Health were used to calculate the annual percent change of alcohol per capita consumption in each of the 35 countries of the Americas. The Americas as a whole showed no change in the total period, with a slight decrease in the period 2010–2016. From 1990 to 2016, all the countries that presented a trend of annual increase in annual percent change of alcohol per capita consumption were in the Caribbean and Central America. Large increases were found in the recent years in Cuba, Colombia, Uruguay, El Salvador, and several countries of the Non-Latin Caribbean. In conclusion, alcohol use remains a significant obstacle to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 3.5. To date, the policy response has been inadequate in protecting the people in the Americas from alcohol-attributable harms. Improving country capacity to collect and analyze data on alcohol per capita consumption is urgently needed to monitor progress on the Sustainable Development Goals and to serve to promote proven alcohol policies for reducing the harmful use of alcohol.Item Análisis del peso corporal desde la perspectiva del género en Villa Nueva, Guatemala: Estudio de caso(Organización Panamericana de la Salud, 2010)
