- Admissions to hospital for under 18s where the primary diagnosis or any of the secondary diagnoses are an alcohol-specific (wholly attributable) condition. Crude rate per 100,000 population.
Alcohol consumption is a contributing factor to hospital admissions and deaths from a diverse range of conditions. Alcohol misuse is estimated to cost the NHS about £3.5 billion per year and society as a whole £21 billion annually.The Government has said that everyone has a role to play in reducing the harmful use of alcohol - this indicator is one of the key contributions by the Government (and the Department of Health) to promote measurable, evidence based prevention activities at a local level, and supports the national ambitions to reduce harm set out in the Government's Alcohol Strategy. This ambition is part of the monitoring arrangements for the Responsibility Deal Alcohol Network. Alcohol-related admissions can be reduced through local interventions to reduce alcohol misuse and harm.Reducing alcohol-related harm is one of Public Health England’s seven priorities for the next five years (from the “Evidence into action� report 2014).The Sexual Health Framework (2013) highlights the following:there is an association between alcohol-attributable hospital admissions in both males and females with teenage pregnancy, even aftercontrolling for the overriding and strong effect of deprivation, and thesame is truefor the more common sexually transmitted infections;there is evidence that alcohol consumption and being drunk can result in lower inhibitions and poor judgements regarding sexual activity, vulnerability and risky sexual behaviour, such as not using contraception or condoms;alcohol consumption by young people leads to an increased likelihood that they will have sex at a younger age, and alcohol misuse is linked to a greater number of sexual partners and more regretted or coerced sex;alcohol also increases the risk of sexual aggression, sexual violence and sexual victimisation of women.
