The social restrictions in place to smooth the COVID-19 infection curve presented a need to examine changes, if any, to alcohol consumption patterns, related behaviours, alcohol-related harms, and mental health, especially in the context of drinking at home.

REPORTS PREPARED FOR FARE

As part of our funding agreement with FARE, CAPR provides research reports on topics salient to alcohol policy and advocacy in Australia. These independent original research reports contribute to the evidence base for harm-reducing alcohol policy in Australia. The research is used to inform a range of FARE’s alcohol advocacy projects. Usually, the report also becomes the starting-point for a separate research article in the refereed scholarly literature. While FARE staff comment on drafts of the reports, CAPR staff determine their content and conclusions. CAPR authors work with FARE to share the findings and evidence with a wide audience.

CAPR PHD STUDENTS CAPR is committed to training future alcohol policy research experts. In 2020, CAPR had 11 PhD students working on a broad range of topics including youth drinking, transdermal alcohol measurement technology validation, drinking contexts and factors influencing the behaviours of low-risk drinkers and abstainers. Low risk drinkers: Who are they and what influences their drinking patterns? Janette Mugavin, supervised by Robin Room, Sarah MacLean and Sarah Callinan

From a cultural-political standpoint, low-risk drinking and abstinence have been offered up as national aspirations at different points in Australia’s history. However, in more recent times greater emphasis has been placed on low-risk drinking. Despite this, adult low-risk drinkers have been largely overlooked in Australian alcohol survey research. Janette’s PhD project aims to investigate the factors associated with low-risk drinking and identify strategies and approaches low-risk drinkers use to manage their consumption levels. A key focus of this project is to better understand the role of alcohol in the lives of low-risk drinkers.

An exploration of the social conditions and cultural meanings of light and non- drinking practices in a sample of young Australians Gabriel Caluzzi, supervised by Amy Pennay, Michael Livingston and Sarah MacLean This PhD project is part of a broader ARC-funded grant to try to understand the drivers behind the sharp declines in youth drinking in Australia since the early 2000s. Young Australians are drinking less than previous generations at the same age – a development which has been mirrored in other countries. To better understand these trends, Gabriel’s PhD project involved 50 interviews with young Victorians aged 16-19 to develop a nuanced understanding of the changing role of alcohol in young people’s lives. Two articles from his PhD were published in 2020. These articles examined why young light and non-drinkers enjoyed socialising without drinking, and how these young people negotiated their choices around alcohol.

Alcohol over the life course Geoffrey Leggat, supervised by Sarah Callinan, Michael Livingston and Sandra Kuntsche An individual’s alcohol consumption is shaped by many factors over a lifetime. Important life events and milestones often provide significant impetus for habit formation and reformation, often on top of changes attributable to organic maturation and social development. Each of the distinct stages of life, often compartmentalised and labelled as childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age, bring with them their own expectations, roles and milestones, with each offering unique opportunities to contribute to changes in behaviour and especially alcohol consumption. Given this, Geoffrey’s PhD project aims to identify and describe the role of life events and milestones in contributing to changes in alcohol consumption at each stage of life. Focus will also be given to the role of different individual demographics, roles and lived experiences in contributing to and shifting the response that individuals may have to these impetuses across the life course.

What do they know and how do they know it? An investigation of alcohol expectancies, norms and alcohol-related knowledge in childhood Megan Cook, supervised by Sandra Kuntsche, Amy Pennay and Emmanuel Kuntsche

Research has illustrated that by the time young adolescents initiate alcohol consumption they have firmly established attitudes, expectations and beliefs about alcohol. What is known about alcohol at a young age has been shown to be a strong predictor of both intentions to later consume and future consumption patterns. Operating from an interdisciplinary psychological and sociological approach to knowledge acquisition, Megan’s research extends our understanding of what young children know about alcohol. Using a range of secondary data sets, she investigates several dimensions of children’s alcohol-related knowledge, including person-specific norms, situational-specific norms and expectancies.

Teenagers are drinking less: An examination of the factors shaping recent developments in youth drinking cultures (quantitative component) Rakhi Vashishtha, supervised by Michael Livingston, Amy Pennay and Paul Dietze Rakhi’s PhD project is part of a broader ARC-funded grant to try to understand the drivers of recent declines in adolescent drinking in Australia. To do this, she is conducting a range of studies – a systematic review of existing analyses that have looked at this question globally, an exploration of trends in other risk and protective factors and a series of empirical analyses of existing survey data to test specific theories, including changes in both parenting practices and leisure time activities as well as major policy changes. The findings of this work will complement the qualitative work that Gabriel Caluzzi is conducting for his PhD and will provide critical new insights into this major generational shift in drinking practices.

Transdermal alcohol measurement technology validation Kelly van Egmond, supervised by Emmanuel Kuntsche, Cassandra Wright, Benjamin Riordan (from September 2020) and Michael Livingston Most alcohol research relies on self-reports and breath alcohol concentration, which has limitations in accuracy and participant burden. Wearable alcohol monitors, also called transdermal alcohol monitors, are devised to provide data on consumption with precision and no response burden. The aim of Kelly’s PhD project is to test the accuracy of measuring alcohol consumption using transdermal alcohol monitors. The project will consist of a systematic review and empirical studies testing the transdermal alcohol monitors against another similar monitor, self-report, and breath alcohol measurements, comparing across genders, ages, Body Mass Index, ethnicity, individual and family drinking history, drinking rate, and consumed amount of food.

Attitude towards non-drinkers in Australia and the relationship to problematic alcohol use Christopher Cheers, supervised by Sarah Callinan, Amy Pennay and Xochitl de la Piedad Garcia

With more and more Australians choosing not to drink, Christopher’s PhD is the first study of its kind to examine attitudes towards non-drinkers in an Australian population. The studies which form his PhD aim to examine and define drinker’s attitudes towards non-drinkers in Australia and create and validate a new measure of these attitudes in a large sample. He will also examine how these attitudes may relate to problematic alcohol consumption. As the negative appraisal of non-drinkers is suggested as a barrier to reducing alcohol consumption, it is proposed that an understanding of these attitudes may allow the development of health promotion strategies that aim to create a more supportive space for moderate drinking or not drinking at all in our community. The ‘drinking context’ in context: What role does the immediate environment play in young adults’ drinking behaviours and how to capture it with a smartphone app? Florian Labhart, supervised by Emmanuel Kuntsche, Daniel Gatica-Perez and Rutger Engels

Florian’s thesis explored different aspects of the development and implementation of research in alcohol use on a night out using a smartphone application. This comprised (1) the development of the ‘Youth@Night’ app and the evaluation of users’ experience with this data collection tool, (2) the exploration of alcohol use behaviours and cognitions on a night out and prospectively using questionnaire data, (3) the investigation of the opportunity to replace participants’ self-reports of their behaviours and contexts by collecting media data, in the form of short videos of the immediate environment and (4) the implementation of a representative street-intercept recruitment technique using geo-located data generated on social networks apps to quantify the popularity of nightlife regions over an entire city. Florian successfully completed his PhD thesis this year. One of his PhD assessors nominated Florian for the Nancy Mills medal, which is typically awarded to only the top 5% of theses at La Trobe. One assessor commented: “I was thoroughly impressed with all aspects of this thesis and read it with great interest. Overall, the work presented here is extremely important, with clear implications for not only the etiological understanding of alcohol use and misuse, but also for public health policy and intervention development. Further, this collection of research investigations is especially innovative, with the use of several novel approaches that move beyond self-report to measure drinking behaviour and the context of drinking.”

Application of artificial intelligence to identify and quantify alcoholic beverages and inebriation from audio-visual material Abraham Albert Bonela, supervised by Emmanuel Kuntsche and Zhen He

In his PhD project, Abraham is using state-of-the-art convolutional neural network models to automatically detect alcoholic beverages in images (e.g., social media and inebriation in audio recordings). In 2020, he developed a deep learning algorithm, which is more comprehensive and efficient than its predecessor (ABIDLA), to identify alcohol from images. This algorithm (ABIDLA2) has a classification accuracy of 77.49% for eight categories (beer/cider glass, beer/cider bottle, beer/cider can, wine, champagne/sparkling wine, cocktails, cognac/brandy/whiskey, any other content) and 88.34% for two categories (any of those alcoholic beverages vs. any other content). This is important because exposure to alcohol-related cues (e.g., seeing someone drinking or an image of an alcoholic beverage) is likely to trigger implicit cognitive biases, e.g., to focus on alcohol, increase alcohol craving and impulsive decisions to drink and impair inhibition of drives that control consumption.

He also has built a deep learning algorithm to detect whether a person is inebriated or sober based on their speech (captured in a 12-seconds audio clip). This algorithm has an unweighted average recall of 68.99% (for a BAC threshold of 0.05%) and 78.15% (for a BAC threshold of 0.12%). In the future, such an algorithm could be used in a mobile application to provide an estimate of the inebriation status of the speaker and detect inebriation in emergency rooms, bar environments, sports stadiums, etc.

Estimating effects of alcohol pricing policy initiatives on social harms in Australia Melvin Marzan, supervised by Heng (Jason) Jiang, Michael Livingston and Sarah Callinan

This PhD project is part of the NHMRC grant, ‘The effects of various alcohol pricing policies on consumption, health, social and economic outcomes and health inequalities’. Reduction in access to alcoholic beverages by increasing the price is one of the most effective and low- cost approaches to control harmful consumption of alcohol and reducing health and social harms. As such, this thesis will explore the dose-response relationships of alcohol consumption and specific social harms such as violence or assault and sickness absence using several methodologies such as dose-response meta-analysis and multivariate modelling. It will also establish the cost-benefits and cost-effectiveness of several alcohol pricing policy models that could impact social harms caused by harmful alcohol use.

Associations of alcohol, tobacco, gambling expenditure with socioeconomic inequalities Rowan Dowling, supervised by Heng (Jason) Jiang, Anne-Marie Laslett, and Charles Livingstone The past 30 years have seen vast changes in government regulation of alcohol, tobacco and gambling products as well as the development of novel forms such as internet gambling. Rowan’s PhD project aims to examine trends in the expenditure of Australian households on alcohol, tobacco and gambling products over the past 30 years. The project will also explore contribution of alcohol, tobacco and gambling expenditure to households’ social inequality and financial difficulties. This will include investigating whether spending trends differ depending on a household’s socioeconomic disadvantage, as well as whether expenditure on alcohol, tobacco and gambling influences a household’s expenditure on essential living goods and services alongside their experience of housing affordability and financial difficulties.

CAPR had significant grant success this year, in particular with Australian Research Council grants. Sandra Kuntsche - Mothers’ little helper: Alcohol use in working mothers This ARC Discovery Project aims to generate unique insights into the strains that Australian working mothers’ face in their daily lives and the impact these strains have on their alcohol consumption. The results of this study will not only provide significant benefits to the quality of life of working mothers in Australia but will also have society-wide implications. Value: $268,184 Anne-Marie Laslett - Alcohol’s harm to others: Patterns, costs, disparities and precipitants This ARC Linkage Project will undertake a three-year study on the costs and harms from others’ drinking across Australia. Using a new survey, analysing state and federal health and social response agency data and conducting in-depth interviews, the project will produce comprehensive estimates of alcohol’s harm to others. Knowing that, women are disproportionally harmed by other people’s drinking in the home while men are harmed more in public places, the study will seek to understand inequalities in alcohol’s harm to others and some of the reasons why some families and sub-populations are more at risk than others. The project will help better understand the current magnitude, character, economic burden, disparities and causes of alcohol’s harm to others across the Australian population in 2021. Value: ARC: $502,541; FARE: $150,000; Australian Rechabite Foundation; $30,000 Total: $682,541 (excluding in-kind contributions).
