Alcohol Research

Public health specialists evaluating interventions, reviewing evidence and delivering original research into alcohol consumption and harm across a range of populations and settings.

Original Research

Research on alcohol-related topics is conducted with a variety of different populations including the general population (and specific groups within it), workplaces, and service providers. Recent work has examined:

  • Levels of alcohol consumption;
  • Impacts of alcohol on individuals, the workplace and communities;
  • Motivations for alcohol consumption;
  • Awareness of alcohol information;
  • Levels of knowledge surrounding alcohol; and
  • Impacts of interventions (such as the licensing legislation, social marketing campaigns).
Alcohol Intelligence and Evidence Review
  • Compiling local alcohol-related data from different sources (such as crime, health or education services) and production of quarterly reports to inform policymakers and stakeholders of progress towards, for example, local area agreement targets. The user-friendly and comprehensive reports are accessible to a wide audience.
  • Bringing together intelligence from international, national and regional sources, researchers provide policymakers with the latest evidence on policy, practice and interventions. Evidence is synthesised and presented through a range of accessible sources such as one-off reports, presentations, fact sheets and the internet.
