Abstract
Findings of the data analysis show that across countries, policy support was generally higher for policies addressing drink driving and increasing the alcohol purchase age. There was less support for policies increasing the price of alcohol, especially when funds were not earmarked. Policy support differed by country, and was generally higher in the five middle-income countries. The study aimed to determine the magnitude of public support for 12 alcohol policies and whether policy differs by country, demographic factors and drinking risk (volume consumed).

alcohol-related harm. Progress has been slow. This study aims to determine the magnitude of public support for 12 alcohol policies
and whether it differs by country, demographic factors and drinking risk (volume consumed).
