[Burden of disease attributable to alcohol use and its counter measure in China]

Harmful drinking causes serious consequences to social security as well as physical and mental health of the general public. The Global Burden of Disease Study (2017) showed that the number of alcohol-related deaths in China in 2017 was 1.82 times higher than that in 1990, and the population attributable fraction increased by 44.13%. The burden of disease caused by drinking alcohol had been increasing. By comparing with the comprehensive intervention strategy of restricting harmful drinking put forward by the World Health Organization, we suggest that the current interventions that need to be improved in China should include several aspects below: (1) strengthening the control of alcohol production, marketing and circulation, (2) restricting the availability of alcohol products for minors through enterprise self-discipline, laws and regulations, parents and school health education, (3) bridging gaps in appropriate techniques and services for alcohol restriction/abstinence in the health care system, (4) providing services such as rapid screening of alcohol dependence and short abstinence interventions, (5) strengthening restrictions on alcohol advertising especially in new media (e.g., online and social media) marketing practices for alcohol products, (6) conducting scientific research and evaluation on alcohol tax-related issues, and (7) regularly reviewing alcohol prices related to inflation and income levels.有害饮酒给社会安全和身心健康带来严重危害。全球疾病负担研究（2017）显示2017年我国饮酒致死的人数是1990年的1.82倍，导致的死亡人群归因分值增幅达44.13%。饮酒导致的疾病负担日益严重。通过与世界卫生组织提出的限制有害饮酒综合干预策略比对分析发现，我们认为当前我国有待完善的干预领域包括加强酒类生产、销售和流通环节的管控，通过企业自律、法规宣贯、家长和学校健康教育限制未成年人的酒类产品的可获得性；在医疗卫生体系中填补限酒/戒酒适宜技术和服务的空白，提供酒精依赖快速筛查、简短戒酒干预等服务；加强酒类广告的限制措施，尽快出台新媒体（如网络、社交媒体）酒类产品营销活动规范；针对酒税问题开展科学研究和评估，定期审查与通货膨胀和收入水平相关的酒类价格。.
