Local Alcohol Profiles for England

Proposed changes for calculating alcohol-related mortality

Details

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) has published an update to Local Alcohol Profiles for England (LAPE).

The LAPE interactive tool presents a range of alcohol-related indicators and allows users to view and analyse data in a user-friendly format.

The aim of the profile is to provide information for local government, health organisations, commissioners and other agencies to monitor the impact of alcohol on local communities, and to monitor the services and initiatives that have been put in place to prevent and reduce the harmful impact of alcohol.

This release includes new data for the following indicators:

  • Alcohol-related mortality
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Broad)
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Narrow)
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Narrow): <40s
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Narrow): 40-64
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Narrow): 65+
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Narrow) for unintentional injuries
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Narrow) for mental and behavioural disorders
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Narrow) for intentional self-poisoning due to exposure to alcohol
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Broad) for cardiovascular disease
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Broad) for mental and behavioural disorders
  • Alcohol-related admissions (Broad) for alcoholic liver disease

The calculation that underlies all alcohol-related indicators has been updated to take account of the latest academic evidence and more recent alcohol-consumption figures. See the consultation page for more detail of this change.
