Burden of alcohol-attributable mortality in the WHO European Region, 1990–2014<br />
Moreover, it is striking that the countries with the highest mortality due to alcohol-attributable injury seem to have a<br />
lesser reduction in mortality rates (see also for regions below) <strong>and</strong>, in some cases, the rates have even increased: for<br />
the WHO European Region, the st<strong>and</strong>ardized mortality rate for all alcohol-attributable injury decreased by 19%, but in<br />
the three countries with the highest such mortality, one had a marked increase (Belarus: +41%), one a slight decrease<br />
(the Russian Federation: –5%) <strong>and</strong> one about the average decrease (Ukraine: –17%). For intentional injury, the overall<br />
decrease was 5%, but in all the three countries, the age-st<strong>and</strong>ardized mortality due to alcohol-attributable intentional<br />
injury increased (Belarus: +61%; the Russian Federation: +10%; Ukraine: +1%). Finally, for unintentional injury, the overall<br />
decrease was –27%, with a 27% increase in Belarus, <strong>and</strong> decreases of 17% <strong>and</strong> 28% in the Russian Federation <strong>and</strong><br />
Ukraine, respectively.<br />
