United States national and state-level data on alcohol-attributable deaths and years of potential life lost (YPLL). The dataset is produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and includes estimates by gender, specific medical conditions, and condition type (chronic or acute). ARDI began in 2001, with the most recent data noted as being from 2005.
Use Cases
- Estimate alcohol-attributable mortality rates based on Alcohol Attributable Fractions (AAF) by state and gender.
- Analyze years of potential life lost (YPLL) due to alcohol-related acute or chronic conditions.
- Compare the public health impact of alcohol across different U.S. states and demographic groups.
- Model the burden of specific alcohol-related diseases, such as alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver.
Strengths
- Data is sourced from authoritative public health systems: the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
- Estimates are provided at both national and individual state levels.
- Data is disaggregated by gender, specific medical condition, and condition type (chronic or acute).
Limitations
- The description notes the most recent data is from 2005, indicating the dataset may not be current.
- Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The description does not specify when new data will become available, making update frequency unclear.
