Hidden Persuasion
Alcohol marketing is harmful as it increases the consumption of alcohol, age of initiation of alcohol and hazardous drinking patterns. Dark nudges and sludge are behavioural economics techniques used to exploit cognitive biases to manipulate consumers to make decisions that are not in their best interest. These have previously been described in alcohol industry corporate responsibility materials and in digital tools and apps funded by the alcohol…
New immersive alcohol marketing and commerce in metaverse environments
Systemic inequities in alcohol licensing
Comparing alcohol policy environments in high‐income jurisdictions with the International Alcohol Control Policy Index
Where do high‐risk drinking occasions occur more often? A cross‐sectional, cross‐country study
Alcohol corporations and the metaverse
Harmful product producers, such as alcohol companies, are exploring and already active in the metaverse [1]. Much in the same way as alcohol companies have used digital media platforms to embed alcohol into young people's lives [2-7] and shape behaviour through an all-encompassing marketing environment [8], alcohol company activities in the metaverse that similarly foster excessive consumption and addictive behaviour [9] may pose new and greater …
Estimating the alcohol‐related burden of child maltreatment among Māori in Aotearoa, New Zealand
Using the International Alcohol Control (IAC) policy index to assess effects of legislative change in Aotearoa New Zealand
The IAC Alcohol Policy Index, measuring both stringency and actual impact on the alcohol environment with a focus on only the most effective alcohol policies provides meaningful insights into within-country policy strength over time. The IAC Policy Index used over time can communicate to policy makers successes and gaps in alcohol policy
A composite index of provincial alcohol control policy implementation capacity in Thailand
The level of implementation of alcohol control policy at the sub-national level is associated with alcohol consumption levels. The findings suggest the value of allocating resources to the implementation of alcohol control policy
Effective alcohol policies and lifetime abstinence
Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder in Aotearoa, New Zealand
Quantitative tools and measurements for assessing the implementation of regulatory policies in reducing alcohol consumption and alcohol‐related harms
Beverage-specific consumption trends
Differences found for the proportion of beverages consumed by risky drinkers between the countries are fairly well aligned with differences in the taxation of each drink type. Future adaptations in taxation systems should consider the impact of taxes on preferential beverage choice and associated harms
Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity
This book is about alcohol policy: why it is needed, how it is made, and the impact it has on health and well-being. It is written for both policymakers and alcohol scientists, as well as the many other people interested in bridging the gap between research and policy. It begins with a global review of epidemiological evidence showing why alcohol is not an ordinary commodity, and it ends with the conclusion that alcohol policies implemented withi…
Benchmarking alcohol policy based on stringency and impact
This study developed a measurement tool to assess stringency and ‘on-the-ground’ impact of four key alcohol policy domains to create an alcohol policy index suitable for benchmarking alcohol policy and assessing change over time in middle- and high-income countries. It involved a collaboration between researchers in 12 diverse countries: New Zealand; Australia; England; Scotland; Netherlands; Vietnam; Thailand; South Africa; Turkey; Chile; Saint …
Online alcohol delivery is associated with heavier drinking during the first New Zealand Covid ‐19 pandemic restrictions
Harmful drinking occurs in private homes in some high‐ and middle‐income alcohol markets
Long-Term Impact on Alcohol-Involved Crashes of Lowering the Minimum Purchase Age in New Zealand
Objectives. We assessed the long-term effect of lowering the minimum purchase age for alcohol from age 20 to age 18 years on alcohol-involved crashes in New Zealand. Methods. We modeled ratios of drivers in alcohol-involved crashes to drivers in non–alcohol-involved crashes by age group in 3 time periods using logistic regression, controlling for gender and adjusting for multiple comparisons. Results. Before the law change, drivers aged 18 to 19 …
Area level deprivation and drinking patterns among adolescents
Engagement with alcohol marketing and early brand allegiance in relation to early years of drinking
This study aimed to examine the relationship between measures of awareness to marketing and drinking among a sample of young people in New Zealand. The sample consisted of 1302 males and 1236 females predominantly aged between 13 and 14 years and drawn from a number of schools in a metropolitan city. They were surveyed using a computer assisted telephone interview.Regression analyses examined relationships between marketing (awareness of and enga…
Evaluation of a regional community action intervention in New Zealand to improve age checks for young people purchasing alcohol
This paper describes the evaluation of a regional community action intervention to reduce access to alcohol from off-license premises by minors. The intervention focussed on: (1) monitoring alcohol sales made without age identification from off-licenses; (2) utilizing data on alcohol sales for media advocacy and direct contact with alcohol retailers and (3) working with key enforcement staff to encourage increased monitoring and enforcement of mi…
