Summary
Alcohol consumption in Spain has shifted through distinct phases since 1990, influenced by public health policies and changing societal drinking patterns. Key periods show decreases, increases, and stability in adult alcohol intake per capita.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
- Substance Abuse Research
Background:
- Alcohol consumption in Spain has shown a declining trend over recent decades.
- Understanding temporal trends in alcohol consumption is crucial for public health policy.
- Previous research indicates shifts in consumption patterns within the European Union.
Purpose of the Study:
- To delineate distinct phases of adult alcohol consumption per capita in Spain from 1990 to 2019.
- To analyze temporal trends and identify significant changes in alcohol consumption patterns.
- To explore potential public health and societal factors influencing these trends.
Main Methods:
- Joinpoint regression analysis of adult per capita alcohol consumption data (1990-2019).
- Interrupted time-series analysis (1962-2016) using Global Information System on Alcohol and Health data.
- Narrative review of Spanish surveys on alcohol and drug use to contextualize findings.
Main Results:
- Five distinct phases identified: decrease (1990-1995), increase (1995-2000), stability (2000-2006), significant decrease (2006-2011), and stability (2011 onwards).
- Annual consumption changes ranged from a 4.5% decrease to a 1.1% increase per year during identified phases.
- Trends are potentially linked to public health interventions and shifts in beverage preference (wine to beer) and increased binge drinking.
Conclusions:
- Spanish alcohol consumption has undergone significant temporal shifts since 1990.
- Public health measures and evolving societal consumption patterns appear to be key drivers of these trends.
- Further interrupted time-series analyses are recommended to validate the effectiveness of public health policies and inform future strategies.

01:16Hypothesis Test for Test of Independence
6.6K
The test of independence is a chi-square-based test used to determine whether two variables or factors are independent or dependent. This hypothesis test is used to examine the independence of the variables. One can construct two qualitative survey questions or experiments based on the variables in a contingency table. The goal is to see if the two variables are unrelated (independent) or related (dependent). The null and alternative hypotheses for this test are:

01:03Mass Spectrometry: Alcohol Fragmentation
4.3K
Alcohols (R-OH) ionize to lose one non-bonded electron from the oxygen atom, forming molecular ions. Due to their tendency to fragment rapidly, the intensity of the molecular ion peak in the mass spectrum is weak or sometimes absent. The fragmentation patterns for alcohols occur in two ways, i.e. ⍺-cleavage and dehydration. During ⍺-cleavage, the bond at the ⍺-position adjacent to the hydroxyl group cleaves to give a resonance-stabilized cation and a radical. However, intramolecular...

01:27CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine
860
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

This lesson delves into the concept of protection and deprotection of a functional group fundamental to synthetic organic chemistry. These phenomena are explained in the context of aliphatic and aromatic alcohols.
Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...

02:32Physical Properties of Alcohols and Phenols
16.3K
Alcohols are organic compounds in which a hydroxy group is attached to a saturated carbon. Phenols are a class of alcohols containing a hydroxy group attached to an aromatic ring. The physical properties of the alcohols and phenols are influenced by hydrogen bonding due to the oxygen–hydrogen dipole in the hydroxy functional group and dispersion forces between alkyl or aryl regions of alcohol and phenol molecules.
Alcohols possess a higher boiling point than aliphatic hydrocarbons of similar...

02:23Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction
11.8K
Reduction is a simple strategy to convert a carbonyl group to a hydroxyl group. The three major pathways to reduce carbonyls to alcohols are catalytic hydrogenation, hydride reduction, and borane reduction.
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...
