Women and Alcohol: Towards an Equity Review of the Effectiveness of Population-based Interventions to Reduce Alcohol Use and Harm by Gender

There is good evidence to suggest that a range of population-based interventions such as pricing, control of marketing, and reduction in availability of alcohol can reduce alcohol-related harm. This study will analyse published literature reviews of such interventions to determine the extent to which they report participation by women and any specific effects on women in the original studies underpinning this evidence. The results of the study will inform policy decisions as well as providing a basis for more detailed work considering how these kinds of interventions may have a differential effect by gender. The study was published in Addiction: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27177685/
