New Global Initiative to Challenge Alcohol Harms
“10% of all deaths among people 15-49 are alcohol related!
“10 Seconds is how often someone somewhere dies from alcohol-related harms!”
“Every year, alcohol use cuts millions of lives short and causes even more widespread suffering,” said Adam Karpati, Senior Vice President, Public Health Programs at Vital Strategies. “The onus can't be on individuals. We must reset from an environment where the alcohol industry is empowered to push alcohol into nearly every aspect of our lives, including schools, sports, and media. We need policies that protect kids, make healthy choices the easy choices, and check industry’s influence. RESET Alcohol will do just that through strong partnerships with government and civil society leaders who are committed to action.”
RESET Alcohol is a collaboration of six global organizations: Vital Strategies, which is leading the initiative; Movendi International; the University of Illinois Chicago; the Global Alcohol Policy Alliance (GAPA); the Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Alliance; and World Health Organization (WHO).
(The Dalgarno Institute are standing members of Movendi International, and are pleased to endorse this growing endeavour – it is way past time the predatory Alcohol Industry was seriously brought to account #alcoholawareness)
