ALCOHOL

Using geodemographics to segment the market for hazardous and harmful drinkers in Cheshire and Merseyside (13th February 2009)
The Directors of Public Health across Cheshire and Merseyside have identified tackling the harm caused by alcohol as one of the priority areas for action across the sub-region. The objectives are:

  • To assess hazardous and harmful drinking prevalence in primary care trusts across Cheshire and Merseyside
  • To undertake analysis of the Target Group Index or equivalent sources of data against harmful and hazardous drinking cohorts across Cheshire and Meseryside
  • To identify which population groups across Cheshire and Merseyside are at greatest risk of alcohol-related harm and the defining features of these groups

In response to these objectives, a series of profiles have been developed based around an existing geodemographic system produced by Experian (Mosaic). These are supplemented with existing consumer and regional public health data.
