  • Evaluation of work-based screening for early signs of alcohol-related liver disease in hazardous and harmful drinkers

    Open AccessPenny A Cook, Michela Morleo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The workplace is an important setting for addressing alcohol harm, but there are barriers to voluntary screening that need to be addressed. Early detection and support of cases in the community could avert deaths and save health and social costs. Alcohol and obesity should be addressed simultaneously, because of their known multiplicative effect on liver disease risk, and because employers preferred a general health intervention to one that focus…

  • Parental knowledge of alcohol consumption

    Open AccessMichela Morleo, Penny A Cook et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Whilst only small numbers of young adolescents in our sample were drinking alcohol compared with older adolescents, those who did were more likely to do so without their parents' knowledge. These two factors combined (drinking earlier and drinking without parental knowledge) could place children at risk of immediate harm. Further research is essential to identify whether public health strategies should be developed which could support parents to …

  • The Big Drink Debate

    Open AccessPenny A Cook, Penelope A Phillips-Howard et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Lower pricing increases alcohol consumption, and the alcohol industry's continued focus on discounting sales encourages higher drinking levels. International evidence suggests increasing the price of alcohol reduces consumption, and one in five of the surveyed population agreed; more work is required to increase this agreement to achieve public support for policy change. Such policy should also recognise that alcohol is an addictive drug, and the…

  • A cross-sectional survey of compliance with national guidance for alcohol consumption by children

    Open AccessMark A Bellis, Michela Morleo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    Successful implementation of guidance on alcohol consumption for children could result in substantial reductions in existing levels of alcohol related harms to young people. However, prolonged social marketing, educational and parental interventions will be required to challenge established social norms in heavy and unsupervised child drinking across all social strata. Policy measures to establish a minimum price for alcohol and provide children …

  • Teenage drinking, alcohol availability and pricing

    Open AccessMark A Bellis, Penelope A Phillips-Howard et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    There is no safe level of alcohol consumption for 15-16 year olds. However, while abstinence removes risk of harms from personal alcohol consumption, its promotion may also push children into accessing drink outside family environments and contribute to higher risks of harm. Strategies to reduce alcohol-related harms in children should ensure bingeing is avoided entirely, address the excessively low cost of many alcohol products, and tackle the e…
