is given in section 8.8.10 on page 364 and in the 2007 Health and Lifestyle Survey
Alcohol report. Attitudes to alcohol consumption were collected as part of Reflector
Groups following the 2007 Health and Lifestyle Survey (see section 13.2.2.2 on page
795) and the 2008-09 Young Person Health and Lifestyle Survey (see section 13.2.2.3
on page 796). The full reports from both of these Reflector Groups as well as the full
survey reports are available at www.hullpublichealth.org. Information on opinions and
attitudes towards alcohol were collected within focus groups as part of the Attitudes to
Health project conducted during 2007 (see section 13.2.2.1 on page 794).
8.8.8 Alcohol Consumption in Relation to Deprivation
Which groups of people never drank alcohol or drank excessive amounts and/or binge
drank was examined in a report specifically on alcohol consumption (from the Health
and Lifestyle Survey 2007). The full report is available at www.hullpublichealth.org.
This report found that measures of deprivation (Index of Multiple Deprivation, household
income, highest educational attainment, etc) were related to alcohol consumption with
people in the more deprived areas being more likely to never drink alcohol. However,
deprivation was neither associated with excessive alcohol consumption nor binge
drinking. Using information from the local 2009 Prevalence Survey, a similar finding
was observed, with a trend in non-drinking from the most deprived quintile (28.7%) to
least deprived quintile(17.2%), but no other trends are identified for other sub-categories
of alcohol consumption (Figure 143). Overall, there was not a statistically significant
relationship between deprivation and alcohol consumption ( 2 test for trend, 5.2, p=0.23).
The underlying data for this figure is given in the APPENDIX on page 884.
