ARG Scientists Present at APHA

October 15, 2015 by

Chicago

ARG scientists will be in Chicago at the end of October to present at the American Public Health Association (APHA)’s Annual Meeting and Exposition with talks focused on alcohol-related heath issues and outcomes.

Conference highlights include a panel on November 3 when ARG researchers will present new findings on health disparities from the National Alcohol Survey. Beginning at 2:30 pm, Camillia Lui discusses differences in education among heavy drinkers using age-period cohort analysis. She and her colleagues found that alcohol-related disparities by education were widest among younger age groups, they decreased over time and were highest among more recent cohorts.

Thomas K. Greenfield presents results from a study that looked at disparities in alcohol use among racial/ethnic minority groups in the US.  He and his colleagues’ research suggests that among people who drink, some groups consumed larger amounts more often than other groups with American Indian/Alaskan Natives and US-born Latinos among the highest.

At 3:10 pm, William C. Kerr discusses the risk of injury related to the frequency of heaving drinking among different racial/ethnic groups.  Alcohol-related injury is also discussed in Cheryl Cherpitel‘s presentation at 3:30 pm when she looks at the association of alcohol-related injury by race/ethnicity. alcohol consumption and heavy drinking by volume and drinking pattern.
