Alcohol Change UK and Adfam are inviting you to take part in an online event discussing faith, family, and recovery.

All of us working to reduce harmful substance use seek to apply the most up-to-date, research-based approaches we can. But we also know that there are many aspects of people’s lives that are less about hard facts but which are equally important to them.

The objective of this webinar is to support decision-makers who protect effective alcohol regulations by raising awareness of conflicts of interests, summarizing the current evidence on interference from the alcohol industry in public health policy as well as discuss best practices. We will describe the fundamental conflict of interest that exists between the alcohol industry’s objectives and public health purposes and bring clear and current examples of the way this involvement unfolds and the consequences for public health.

The 2022 NDARC Annual Research Symposium is being held on Tuesday, 20 and Wednesday, 21 September 2022.

Registration: Registration opens June 2022.
Program: Program coming soon.
