About
Alcohol consumption has a significant impact on both morbidity and mortality in Europe and represents a considerable economic and social burden on society. Effective strategies recommended by experts and international health authorities to reduce the burden of alcohol consumption are now well established. However, their implementation in France and many other European countries remains complex.
This December, join EuroHealthNet and Public Health France at an international scientific symposium where experts will come together to explore this critical issue and share insights for future action.
During this scientific symposium, International researchers, NGOs and scientific experts will share their knowledge and experience on two key scientific challenges towards the prevention of alcohol consumption:
- How to take into account the latest scientific evidence to develop and promote low-risk drinking guidelines to reduce alcohol consumption?
- The commercial determinants of health: impact on alcohol prevention policies and levers for public health action.
Target audience
The symposium is intended for all public health stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers interested in the prevention of alcohol-related harms and in the reduction of the burden of alcohol consumption. Individuals with affiliations with the alcohol industry and those with a conflict of interest related to the purpose of this symposium are not invited to participate.
