Alcohol Metrics – the baseline Cathy Rule, Project Manager, Wessex AHSN With support from Brad Keogh, Senior Research Assistant, Centre for Implementation Science (CIS), Why we need to get to grips with alcohol in Wessex

Introduction Why are Wessex alcohol metrics important? Data sources Generic infographics (Wessex) Specific alcohol metric examples

Why are Wessex alcohol metrics important? Understand the impact alcohol has on our communities Provide a platform to measure changes Identify and address any gaps Implement an evidence based “life course approach” to addressing the harms of alcohol Identify the scope for further alcohol research & evaluation of initiatives

Alcohol metrics – Variety of Public sources Local Alcohol Profiles for England (LAPE) National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS) National Child and Maternal Health Intelligence Network (CHIMAT) – Looking to add more sources, e.g. Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) Costs Prescribing data Geography – most of the metrics cover all Wiltshire (not just South Wiltshire) Stakeholder information – PHE Stocktake Dashboard – Wessex Alcohol Evidence and Best Practice Template Data sources
