We found that the proportion of hazardous LULC types increased twofold (26 42%) from 1950s to 2000.
The amount of waste, and the proportion of hazardous waste, was found to vary significantly with the size and type of HCE.
A lower proportion of hazardous drinkers had undergone glucocorticoid treatment.
The proportion of hazardous drinkers also decreased following pregnancy recognition, X (1, n = 66) = 12.3, p = .001.001
We incorporated this knowledge in our method and observed that the estimated proportion of hazardous events for patients treated with DES was low (3.2 to 8.2%).
It is worth noting that in our study the proportion of hazardous drinkers is around two thirds of the men and half of the women who drank at least one unit in the last week, whereas the equivalent proportion in England [ 27] is half of the men and one third of the women.
For example, a study in South Africa of HIV-infected patients on ART found a higher proportion of hazardous drinking among ever drinkers (75% of men and 55% of women, as defined using AUDIT cutoffs of ≥8 for men and ≥6 for women) than was observed in our study [ 54].
Reductions in volume of alcohol consumed are typically about 20 25% [ 8] and reductions in the proportions of hazardous drinkers are between 10 19% [ 9] The number needed to treat is about 8 for both hazardous alcohol consumption and for alcohol-related harm [ 9].
Two assumptions were therefore made regarding the cost division: 1) chronic diagnoses without relative risks were assumed to only affect the highest consumption group, i.e. harmful consumption, and 2) injuries were assumed to affect harmful and hazardous consumption in equal proportions.
Sydney alone hosted 407 000 backpackers. 1 We previously reported that, compared with age-matched non-backpackers at our clinic, backpackers reported more recent sexual partners and were more likely to drink at hazardous levels. 2 Similar proportions of each group reported inconsistent condom use in the previous 3 months, although backpackers were more likely to be diagnosed with chlamydia.
