There is no single drinking culture in Europe. In fact, Europe is made up of a variety of different drinking traditions. Moreover, it has been pointed out that the size of gender differences in drinking behaviour varies by cultures. This a further reason to study women's drinking behaviour in relation to men's on a pan-European level. It appears that until now there has been no comprehensive gathering and summarising of how the drinking cultures across various European countries look with respect to gender. Therefore, the present study was designed to specifically address alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems among women in nine European countries: The Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden and Switzerland. Objectives: The concerted action began its work with the following set of original measurable objectives: (1) Using data sets of the study countries, standardised units to compare alcohol consumption were to be developed, and standard measures and approaches for future measurement of alcohol consumption which are gender- sensitive to be recommended. (2) To investigate differences in drinking patterns and acute alcohol-related problems within and between countries. This was done by looking at differences between men and women, and among women. (3) To review registry data in each partner country for "chronic consequences" of alcohol consumption. The first task was to review the morbidity and mortality registry data in each country for its availability and to determine the process by which such data are collected. The second step was to examine the relationship of alcohol intake across gender with the identified common set of data for chronic consequences if the data were valid enough to make such a comparison. The project was meant to co-ordinate and facilitate the comparison of European health data, and to facilitate a common methodology for interpreting them. In addition, by examining trends and changes in the drinking patterns and rates of alcohol problems among women, the project was to identify indicators for health risk behaviours in this population. Thus, the results of this concerted action should help put in place a harmonised methodology and the necessary expertise to monitor changes in alcohol health data as a result of European Union market policies and specific European Union public health policy regulations, directives, and resolutions.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 1022-6877 Note générale : European Addiction Research, 2002, 8, 159-165 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Thésaurus TOXIBASE CONSOMMATION ; COMPORTEMENT ; TRAITEMENT ; POLITIQUE Thésaurus Géographique REPUBLIQUE TCHEQUE ; SLOVAQUIE Discipline : EPI Epidémiologie / Epidemiology Résumé : ENGLISH : The article describes the development of drug-related problems in the context of the rapid sociopolitical and economic changes in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. The period of the last decade is marked by an increase in drug use in both countries; 17% of adults in the Czech Republic and 12% of the Slovaks report lifetime drug use. The respective figures are even higher for the population of adolescents. According to the data from the ESPAD survey carried out in 1999, 35% of young Czechs and 19% of young Slovaks used marijuana. Metamphetamine is the most misused substance among problem drug users in the Czech Republic, and heroin dominates in Slovakia. The response of the society to social and health problems caused by drugs is discussed in the following areas: institutional differentiation, political coordination and legislative development. The need for further social research is stressed. (Author's abstract.) Note de contenu : fig. ; tabl.

Chez 79% des malades hospitalisées, la dépendance à l'alcool seul a été diagnostiquée, la dépendance/abus a été reconnue chez 15% d'entre elles, et la dépendance au médicament seul a été diagnostiquée dans 6% des cas. A quelques exceptions près, celles qui présentaient des troubles parmi les malades hospitalisées abusaient des antalgiques, des somnifères ou des anxiolytiques. On a constaté que dans l'ensemble de la population, l'absorption d'une substance définie ne présente généralement aucun lien avec celle des autres substances. L'absorption d'alcool (même très forte) n'a aucun lien avec le tabagisme, la prise d'antalgiques, de somnifères ou d'anxiolytiques-et est liée au schéma spécifique présenté par les indicateurs prédictionnels. ENGLISH : The paper reports results of an analysis with two samples of Prague women aged 20-49 : (1) a probabilistic sample (n=718) of the Prague female population; and (2) a sample of 152 inpatients treated for substance dependence/abuse. Of the inpatients, 79% were diagnosed as alcohol dependent only, 15% as both alcohol dependent and drug dependent/abusers, 6% as drug dependent only. With very few exceptions, those with drug problems among the inpatients abused analgesics, hypnotics, or anxiolytics. It is found that in the general population the use of a particular substance is generally uncorrelated with the use of other substances. Alcohol use (even heavy alcohol use) has no relation to smoking, to the use of analgesics, hypnotics, anxiolytics-and is connected with a specific pattern of predictors.
