Committee on Alcohol Data, Indicators and Definitions
The work of the Committee on Alcohol Data, Indicators and Definitions is guided by various policy papers:
- Strategy to help EU countries reduce alcohol-related harm (2006)
- Charter establishing European Alcohol and Health Forum (2007)
- Council conclusions on EU strategy to reduce alcohol-related harm (2006)
The Committee has identified key indicators for alcohol consumption and alcohol-related health harm:
- volume of consumption – Total yearly per capita (15 years+) consumption of pure alcohol
- pattern of consumption – Harmful drinking
- alcohol-attributable health harm – Alcohol-attributable years of life lost
and indicators for some of the 5 priorities of EU alcohol strategy.
