Estimated alcohol-attributable health burden in Aotearoa New Zealand

This set of resources developed by the University of Otago for Te Whatu Ora are the result of a project that estimates the alcohol-attributable health burden in Aotearoa in 2018.

The research findings show that alcohol causes a significant preventable health burden through a range of disease and injury conditions, especially for Māori and males.

The resources include:

• The final report, discussing the alcohol-attributable health burden in Aotearoa in 2018.
• The report in (infographic) short form, showcasing findings in an easily accessible format.
• The Alcohol Attributable Fractions User Guide, a how-to on applying Alcohol Attributable Fractions to other health outcome datasets.
• Supplementary methods, providing additional details on the approach used in this project.
• Supplementary results, providing further details on the health burden estimates.
