Résumé :
This report aims to increase understanding of socio-economic differences in alcohol consumption and harms in the European Union and what can work to reduce these inequalities. It aims to:
- Briefly describe the nature of socio-economic inequalities in alcohol consumption and harm in EU countries;
- Summarise recent evidence from EU countries on interventions and policies that can reduce inequalities in harmful alcohol use and associated harms;
- Identify any gaps in evidence that could be addressed in the future.
Recommendations:
The best evidence is for policies which affect affordability (e.g. minimum pricing policies), which have the potential to narrow the socio-economic gap in alcohol-related harm and have been deemed highly cost effective.
