Alcohol is a major public health issue. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), alcohol consumption is a component cause of more than 200 disease and injury conditions. All of these effects place a substantial burden on population health in terms of death and disability, making alcohol consumption 1 of the 10 leading factors with the most impact on population health. This book, edited and authored by experienced researchers and public health specialists in the field, deals with alcohol problems from a public health perspective, with a focus on prevention approaches that focus evidence-based community approaches. The book combines the latest research on community-level alcohol problems with success stories from community practitioners.
