A qualitative exploration of the Alcohol Harm Paradox – understanding experiences of alcohol-related harm among Australians of different socio-economic status
Background People living in disadvantaged areas experience disproportionately more harms from alcohol compared to those in advantaged areas, despite equivalent or less alcohol consumption. This is known as the ‘alcohol harm paradox’. This study explores how people who drink alcohol from areas of different socio-economic status (SES) describe and perceive the harms they experience from drinking to garner a deeper understanding of the mechanisms th…
Whose wine is it anyway? Examining private label cask wine ownership among Australian alcohol retailers
INTRODUCTION: Alcohol pricing policies are recognised as effective strategies for reducing consumption and alcohol-related harms, with their strongest impact concentrated across the lowest-priced products. Across many retail markets, low-cost alcohol is increasingly supplied through retailer-owned (private-label) brands, yet there is little research on how ownership structure relates to pricing at the product level. METHODS: Product-level pricing…
Leveraging web-scraped data to examine alcohol pricing
This study presented an independently cross-checked large-scale and longitudinal web scraping approach to collect alcohol price data, and demonstrated that the adapted data could aid understanding of the alcohol retail market. Web scraping is a feasible method to collect price data to support the development of evidence-based alcohol price policy
Gender Differences in Alcohol Research
Gender is a social and cultural construct that shapes human experience, and is one of the most significant social determinants of health [1]. Gendered drinking practices are an example of this. Research across different historical periods and cultural contexts has consistently shown that women are more likely to abstain from alcohol consumption [2, 3], while men generally consume more alcohol [3] and are more likely to engage in heavy episodic dr…

Does parental cohort increase the likelihood of underage alcohol consumption in Australia
Examining gender in alcohol research
Where do high‐risk drinking occasions occur more often? A cross‐sectional, cross‐country study
Cask wine
Shifts in the Australian public's opinions towards alcohol policies
Who supports drug‐checking services in Australia ? An analysis of 2019 National Drug Strategy Household Survey data
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
