Systemic inequities in alcohol licensing
Comparing alcohol policy environments in high‐income jurisdictions with the International Alcohol Control Policy Index
Framing alcohol harm in the UN context – the importance of language
BACKGROUND: Alcohol is a global health issue with a high level of controversy. After being absent from World Health Organization (WHO) global governing body discussions for about 20 years, alcohol re-entered the agenda in 2005. The expression 'harmful use of alcohol' became the compromise language after hard negotiations, an example of 'adopted language" that has remained for almost 20 years. This article analyses the background and use of the ex…
Exploring the Use of a Large Language Model for Inductive Content Analysis in a Discourse Network Analysis Study
Large language models show promising capability in some qualitative content analysis tasks; however, research reporting their performance in identifying initial codes that underpin subsequent analysis is scarce. This paper explores the suitability of GPT-4 to assist in building a codebook for a discourse network analysis (DNA) of a recent alcohol policy reform. DNA is a codebook-driven approach to identifying groupings of actors who use similar p…
Normative value of ‘best buys’ and the case of bans on alcohol marketing
Assessing alcohol industry penetration and government safeguards
BACKGROUND: The alcohol industry uses many of the tobacco industry's strategies to influence policy-making, yet unlike the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, there is no intergovernmental guidance on protecting policies from alcohol industry influence. Systematic assessment of alcohol industry penetration and government safeguards is also lacking. Here, we aimed to identify the nature and extent of industry penetration in a cross-section of…
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 …
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
Alcohol Advertising Exposure and Drinking Habits Among Chinese Adolescents in 2021
Objectives. To assess the exposure of Chinese adolescents to proalcohol advertising and explore its association with alcohol consumption. Methods. A nationally and regionally representative school-based survey was conducted in mainland China in 2021 among students in grades 7 through 12, aged 13 to 18 years. We assessed adolescent exposure to proalcohol advertising and its association with alcohol consumption. Results. A total of 57 336 students …
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…
The WHO Foundation should not accept donations from the alcohol industry
box The WHO Foundation, established to fundraise for WHO, does not explicitly preclude funding from the alcohol industry, exposing WHO to potential influence by the industry’s conflicting interests. The WHO Foundation’s Gift Acceptance Policy also lacks transparency, preventing public scrutiny of donations. To protect the independence and integrity of WHO, the WHO Foundation should not accept any donations from the alcohol industry. WHO needs fur…
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 …
What lessons does the Covid-19 pandemic hold for global alcohol policy
box COVID-19 is a ‘syndemic’, its impact exacerbated by existing socioeconomic inequalities that also underpin the global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).1 Lockdown measures have changed patterns of alcohol consumption and disrupted the provision of health services for people with NCDs. Moreover, insufficient vaccines and therapeutics, combined with a higher burden of NCDs, mean that some low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such a…
Online alcohol delivery is associated with heavier drinking during the first New Zealand Covid ‐19 pandemic restrictions
Heterogeneity in trends of alcohol use around the world
Classifying Alcohol Control Policies with Respect to Expected Changes in Consumption and Alcohol-Attributable Harm
Due to the high levels of alcohol use, alcohol-attributable mortality and burden of disease, and detrimental drinking patterns, Lithuania implemented a series of alcohol control policies within a relatively short period of time, between 2008 and 2019. Based on their expected impact on alcohol consumption and alcohol-attributable harm, as well as their target population, these policies have been classified using a set of objective criteria and exp…
Harmful drinking occurs in private homes in some high‐ and middle‐income alcohol markets
Current developments in the Global Governance arena
Profits and pandemics
Area level deprivation and drinking patterns among adolescents
Alcohol and Ethnography
The modern ethnographic literature on alcohol tends to underestimate problems due to drinking. This "problem deflation" probably reflects a concurrence of various assumptions, methods, and theoretical orientations. Functionalist assumptions direct attention more to the gains than to the losses involved in drinking. The pleasures of drinking are more easily observed, given the ethnographer's focus on the everyday and the social, than the private p…
Father’s Occupational Group and Daily Smoking During Adolescence
Objectives. We investigated the relationship among father’s occupational group, daily smoking, and smoking determinants in a cohort of New Zealand adolescents. Methods. The longitudinal Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study provided information on adolescents’ self-reported smoking behavior and potential predictors of smoking, such as social and material factors, personality characteristics, educational achievement, and individual attitu…
Environmental attitudes, beliefs about social justice and intention to vote Green
The vast majority of New Zealanders in 2005 considered environmental protection a high priority, yet the Green Party – then the only New Zealand political party with a clear environmental sustainability agenda – continued to poll comparatively poorly. It has been suggested that much of the potential environmental vote is lost because of the party's left-of-centre social justice policies. Would the Greens attract greater electoral support by confi…
Organized Crime in Cannabis Cultivation in New Zealand
This paper draws on the emerging economic theory of organized crime to investigate the role organized criminal gangs play in outdoor illicit cannabis cultivation in New Zealand. Organized criminal groups are most likely to control illicit markets where there are cost advantages from larger-scale production, the need for specialized skills, capital equipment or large amounts of startup capital, and visible targets for violence aimed at discouragin…
A qualitative investigation of responses to televised alcohol advertisements
February 1992 saw the introduction of new rules governing alcohol advertising in New Zealand. Prior to this date there had been limited alcohol advertising on television, with only sponsorship and corporate advertising permitted (Casswell et al., 1989). The new rules allowed for alcohol brand advertising to be shown after 9 p.m., and this resulted in a fourfold increase in televised alcohol advertising in the two-year period between 1991 and 1993…
Promoting public health in liquor licensing
The impact of liquor licensing laws on the availability of alcohol has been recognized as an important factor in the level of consumption and alcohol-related problems through the mechanisms of control on hours and days of sale (Smith, 1987, 1988a, 1988b, 1988c; Olsson and Wikstrom, 1982; Nordlund, 1985); categories, numbers and density of outlets (Wagenaar and Holder, 1991); McGuinness, 1983; Godfrey, 1988; Gruenewald, Ponicki and Holder, 1993; W…

Evaluation of a mass-media campaign for the primary prevention of alcohol-related problems
Evaluation of Heartbeat New Zealand
There is increasing recognition of the value of formative evaluation, which aims to influence programme development constructively from an early stage by providing ongoing evaluation input to the programme planning and decision making process. Formative evaluation has been applied by the authors as the first phase of their evaluation of the Heartbeat New Zealand programme, a heart disease prevention programme which utilizes health promotion strat…
The response of young men to increased television advertising of alcohol in New Zealand
A random sample of 301 males aged 15–30 years was undertaken in New Zealand's three major urban centres, to investigate their perception of two alcohol industry advertisements on television. Advertising of alcohol was not allowed on New Zealand television and these two advertisements, the first of a new wave, were ostensibly advertising alcohol companies and their sports sponsorship. However, the research identified that both were perceived as ad…
Formative evaluation of a policy-orientated print media campaign
A print media advertising campaign was developed as part of a media advocacy strategy to support health promotion initiatives with policy makers and opinion leaders, at a time when major changes were being proposed to New Zealand's liquor laws. A three-part formative evaluation programme was undertaken towards the end of the first phase of the campaign to identify the best components to use in the second phase of the campaign. A quantitative gene…
Identifying target segments of male drinkers for health promotion
Data from a 1988 national drinking survey was cluster analysed to identify different types of male drinkers, to assist in the targeting of health promotion strategies. Of the five segments generated by the clustering, one labelled Young Heavy Drinking Males was identified as the most appropriate target segment, because although they were the segment reporting the highest level of alcohol-related problems they were also the segment most likely to …
Media advocacy for alcohol policy support
Media advocacy has been described as the strategic use of mass media for advancing a social or public policy initiative. This paper describes an attempt to use media advocacy to increase public awareness and support for public health policies on alcohol in a demonstration project. The New Zealand Community Action Project (CAP) was an evaluated alcohol problem prevention programme which compared cities exposed to a mass media campaign with, and wi…
Communication experts' opinion on alcohol advertising through the electronic media in New Zealand
The debate over the influence of alcohol advertising on people's drinking behaviour and attitudes is one which many countries have experienced as they decide how and to what degree alcohol advertising should be regulated Recently in New Zealand, policy makers examined the issue of whether alcohol advertising should be allowed on the electronic media. In an effort to contribute to the debate, a qualitative study of communications' experts opinions…
Moderate Drinking and Population-Based Alcohol Policy
A qualitative investigation of the responses of in-treatment and recovering heavy drinkers to alcohol advertising on New Zealand television
The debate over the influence of alcohol advertising on people's drinking behavior and attitudes is one that many countries have experienced as they decide how and to what degree alcohol advertising should be regulated. New Zealand policy makers examined the issue and made the decision to allow brand alcohol advertising on the electronic media for a trial period of two years, effective from February 1, 1992. This extended the already existing abi…

Fruit and Vegetables as Adolescent Food Choices in New Zealand
The consumption of fruit and vegetables has been shown by nutritionists to have preventative effects with regard to cardiovascular disease and cancer, and recent health promotions in New Zealand have emphasised the need to eat ‘5+’ a day. This paper examines interaction between 20 New Zealand teenagers and the parent responsible for food purchasing to identify factors affecting teenagers' consumption of and attitudes towards fruit and vegetables,…
Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity
From a public health perspective, alcohol is no ordinary consumer product. On a global level, it is a major contributor to disease, disability, and premature mortality. It also has an adverse impact on many aspects of social life. Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity – Research and Public Policy describes recent advances in alcohol research that have direct relevance for the development of effective alcohol policies at the local, national and internati…

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…
