Our new article in Drug & Alcohol Review: Reducing alcohol affordability through alcohol taxes, minimum unit pricing or other means seems to be an effective way to reduce socio-economic inequalities in severe alcohol-attributable harm

Happy to see this in print! Contextual factors to alcohol use and treatment seeking has been highly overlooked so glad to contribute with some new findings.

@dotbirch Hope you have a lovely evening! Would have been great to meet up, but will be too much of a squeeze.

[Sara Wallhed Finn @WallhedFinn]

@dotbirch Enjoy Stockholm! How long are you staying?

@johanwicklen Jag vill gärna höra mer om ev förändringar i folkhälsan i olika grupper. Hard facts premieras framför allmänt tyckeri.

The findings emphasize the importance of clear messages regarding alcohol and health

[Sara Wallhed Finn @WallhedFinn]

4. Media plays an important role for health information

[Sara Wallhed Finn @WallhedFinn]

3. Those who self report hazardous alcohol use are more likely to endorse having heard mixed messages

[Sara Wallhed Finn @WallhedFinn]

Varenicline (Champix) is one of the most effective smoking cessation treatments, but has been unavailable in England since mid-2021. Unsurprisingly, use in quit attempts rapidly fell to virtually zero.

We estimated the impact of this on quit rates.

Tacksam för att få vara med i @SRvetenskap program om legalisering av cannabis! Väldigt nyanserande avsnitt som diskuterar ämnet utifrån forskning. Kanske vi kan fortsätta så? 🤷‍♂️

@Cassie_Boness @jamesmorris24 @ProjectECHO Wonderful - thanks a lot @Cassie_Boness!

[Sara Wallhed Finn @WallhedFinn]

@Cassie_Boness @jamesmorris24 @ProjectECHO That sounds great! @ProjectECHO covers a range of topic as I understand? Can I find more details on AUD/SUD aspects somewhere? From you @Cassie_Boness? Would be very interesting!

[Sara Wallhed Finn @WallhedFinn]

@jamesmorris24 Thanks for sharing @jamesmorris24! We really need to address stigma at different levels in relation to alcohol use.

[Sara Wallhed Finn @WallhedFinn]

Treatment seeking for AUD is low, however few studies have focused on contextual factors. Using national registers from Denmark we have looked at how treatment seeking varies between seasons (a lot!). Important info for development of interventions.
