Computation description: | Data on persons 'at risk of long-term alcohol-related harm' is based on the 2009 National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) guideline 'for healthy men and women, drinking no more than two standard drinks on any day reduces the lifetime risk of harm from alcohol-related disease or injury' and has been operationalised as: for both males and females, an average of more than 2 standard drinks per day in the last week. From the 2020–21 National Health Survey (NHS) onwards, alcohol consumption will be reported against the 2020 NHMRC guidelines that healthy men and women should drink no more than 10 standard drinks a week and no more than 4 standard drinks on any one day. Rates are directly age-standardised to the 2001 Australian population. Analysis by remoteness and Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage (IRSD) is based on usual residence of person. Presented as a percentage. 95% confidence intervals and relative standard errors are calculated for rates. Rate ratios are derived by dividing the age standardised rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by the age standardised rate for non-Indigenous people. |

Comments: | Most recent data available for 2022 National Healthcare Agreement performance reporting: 2017–18 (total population, non-Indigenous: NHS); 2018–19 (Indigenous only: NATSIHS). NO NEW DATA FOR 2022 REPORTING. National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey (NATSISS) or National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey (NATSIHS) data may be used for analysis, dependent upon which survey is most recent and whether the data are comparable with NHS data. Data on persons ‘at risk of long-term alcohol-related harm’ had previously been defined according to the 2001 NHMRC guidelines: for males, an average of more than 4 standard drinks per day in the last week, and for females, an average of more than 2 standard drinks per day in the last week. Data for the non-Indigenous population in the Northern Territory should be interpreted with caution as the NHS excludes Very Remote areas and discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These exclusions are unlikely to affect national estimates, and will only have a minor effect on aggregate estimates produced for individual states and territories, excepting the Northern Territory where around 20% of the population lived in Very Remote areas in the 2017–18 reporting period. For the 2017–18 NHS and the 2018–19 NATSIHS, age standardised 95% confidence intervals and RSEs are not available. Please refer to associated crude 95 per cent confidence intervals and RSEs. Further details on alcohol consumption among Indigenous Australians are available from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework (measure 2.16: Risky alcohol consumption). |
