The impact of alcohol minimum pricing policies on vulnerable populations and health equity
Alcohol minimum pricing policies, including minimum unit pricing (MUP), are effective strategies for reducing alcohol consumption and related harm. However, their equity implications remain underexplored. We conducted a rapid review of PubMed and Web of Science, identifying 37 real-world studies assessing the impacts of alcohol minimum pricing. Studies from diverse contexts were synthesised with respect to vulnerable populations and health equity…

The Raising of Minimum Alcohol Prices in Saskatchewan, Canada
Objectives. We report impacts on alcohol consumption following new and increased minimum alcohol prices in Saskatchewan, Canada. Methods. We conducted autoregressive integrated moving average time series analyses of alcohol sales and price data from the Saskatchewan government alcohol monopoly for 26 periods before and 26 periods after the intervention. Results. A 10% increase in minimum prices significantly reduced consumption of beer by 10.06%,…
Should alcohol policies aim to reduce total alcohol consumption? New analyses of Canadian drinking patterns
We investigated whether high-risk drinking patterns are restricted to a few high-volume drinkers or are evenly distributed across the population to inform discussion regarding the optimal mix of targeted versus universal prevention strategies. Drinking patterns reported in the 2004 Canadian Addiction Survey (CAS, n = 13,909) were assessed against various low-risk drinking guidelines. Under-reporting was assessed against known alcohol sales for 20…
Drawing the line on risky use of cannabis
Health and social harms from cannabis use typically are assessed by comparing those who use to those who do not use. Recognizing that not all use of cannabis is necessarily problematic, we examine rates of self-reported harms as a function of frequency of use. Second, we assess the effectiveness of the cannabis portion of the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) as a screening tool for identifying problematic cannabi…

Formulettes éducatives de première enfance chez les Franco-Terreneuviens
By means of the educational formulae of infancy, the author illustrates some stages in the assimilation of francophones by the anglophones on the Port-au-Port peninsula. After having recounted the salient events of the French presence on the west coast of Newfoundland from Cartier's first voyage in 1534 up to the construction of an American airforce base in 1941 (which rapidly initiated the assimilation, unknown until that time), the author prese…
