Alcohol

The alcohol module owns alcohol exposure and the exposure changes produced by the current alcohol interventions. It publishes baseline and comparison excess-risk terms for diabetes, ischaemic heart disease and stroke.

Alcohol does not calculate its own final disease incidence modifier. The shared risk-factor reconciliation module combines alcohol, tobacco and physical inactivity in the denominator required by the population-attributable-fraction method, then publishes the disease-facing incidence modifier.

The current NCD disease set does not include the road-traffic-injury burden of drink-driving. That effect is a documented gap rather than an effect hidden inside cardiovascular disease.

The source repository is risk-factor-alcohol (opens in a new tab).
