Abstract

The International Alcohol Control (IAC) Study collects and analyses detailed information regarding alcohol-related health and economic burdens, and the potential effectiveness of various measures, using two research tools – an extensive survey of the drinking population and a protocol for an analysis of the alcohol policy environment. The article focuses on IAC work and results, which provide an important baseline of local data that countries can utilize to initiate public debate and policy dialogue, and on which they can build when policy interventions are considered. The IDRC IAC data collection comprises selected low and middle-income countries (LMICs).
