dc.description.abstractIn Lebanon there is no law that clearly stipulates a legal age for purchase of alcohol or that regulates exposure to alcohol marketing and advertising. This knowledge to policy (K2P) paper reviews evidence-based interventions that are proven effective in reducing alcohol-related harms among youth, and are categorized into two elements: 1) Program implementation at the school, family and community levels; 2) Alcohol harm reduction policies at the national level. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2010) has called for a global response to mitigate alcohol-related harms by requesting all member states (including Lebanon) to implement effective harm reduction policies.en
