    Alcohol taxes’ contribution to prices in high and middle-income countries : data from the International Alcohol Control Study
    (John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol and other Drugs, 2017-10-26) Wall, Martin; Casswell, Sally; Callinan, Sarah; Chaiyasong, Surasak; Cuong, Pham Viet; Gray-Phillips, Gaile; Parry, Charles D.H
    The paper draws on data from six participating countries of the International Alcohol Control Study to examine and evaluate their comparative prices and tax regimes. Both ad valorem and specific per unit of alcohol taxation systems are represented among the six countries. The prices differ widely between countries even though presented in terms of Purchasing Power Parity. The percentage of tax in the final price also varies widely but is much lower than the 75% goal set by the World Health Organization. There is a higher proportion of abstainers in middle-income countries and men drink much more alcohol than women.

    Alcohol environment protocol : a new tool for alcohol policy
    (John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol and other Drugs, 2017-12-05) Casswell, Sally; Morojele, Neo; Williams, Petal Petersen; Chaiyasong, Surasak; Gordon, Ross; Gray-Phillip, Gaile; Cuong, Pham Viet; MacKintosh, Anne-Marie; Halliday, Sharon; Railton, Renee; Randerson, Steve; Parry, Charles D. H.
    Findings of the study show that in countries with fewer resources, alcohol policies are less effective because of lack of implementation and enforcement and, in the case of marketing, lack of regulation. This has implications for increases in consumption as a result of the expanding distribution and marketing of commercial alcohol and consequent increases in alcohol-related harm. This study uses the Alcohol Environment Protocol, an International Alcohol Control study research tool, which documents the alcohol policy environment by standardised collection of data from administrative sources, observational studies, and interviews with key informants to allow for cross-country comparison and change over time.

    Alcohol policies in Malawi : inclusion of World Health Organiszation (WHO) "best buy" interventions and use of multi-sectoral action
    (BMC Public Health / Springer Nature, 2018-08) Matanje Mwagomba, Beatrice L.; Nkhata, Misheck J.; Baldacchino, Alex; Wisdom, Jennifer; Ngwira, Bagrey
    Harmful use of alcohol is one of the most common risk factors for Non-Communicable Diseases and other health conditions such as injuries. World Health Organization has identified highly cost-effective interventions for reduction of alcohol consumption at population level, known as “best buy” interventions, which include tax increases, bans on alcohol advertising and restricted access to retailed alcohol. This paper describes the extent of inclusion of alcohol related “best buy” interventions in national policies and also describes the application of multisectoral action in the development of alcohol policies in Malawi.

    International alcohol control study : analyses from the first wave
    (John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol and other Drugs, 2018-08-23) Casswell, Sally
    The article provides background to the international alcohol control (IAC) study including design for policy evaluation, methodology, countries involved, and study objectives. The IAC study has provided a research platform for diverse countries to collect alcohol consumption and policy-relevant data in comparable ways. This special journal issue presents the first cross country analyses from 10 countries of the IAC. Results from the Alcohol Environment Protocol describe differences in legislative and regulatory frameworks, socio-economic and policy-relevant behaviours, and key informants’ perceptions of alcohol policy implementation and enforcement. Taxation systems and prices paid for alcohol by survey respondents from six countries were analysed.
