Modest, sustained, evidence-based alcohol policy with respect to price can really reduce alcohol-related harm in population.
Ever wondered how alcohol might affect asthma, or what happens when public health policies actually work? Suzi Gage and Rob Calder have got you covered in this episode of the Addiction Journal Podcast. They dive into the February 2019 issue of the journal, bringing to light some truly eye-opening studies. For instance, one research paper reveals a surprising negative link between alcohol use and asthma, challenging previous beliefs.
This was made possible through a method called Mendelian randomisation, which helps to clarify causal relationships. But that's not all. The episode also tackles the effectiveness of sustained, evidence-based alcohol policies in reducing harm. Turns out, modest but consistent policies can make a big difference. Gage and Calder also discuss the complexity of treatment courses for addiction, showing that people with more complicated lives often have more complicated paths to recovery.
Other fascinating topics include the correlation between smoking rates and socioeconomic status, and the use of e-cigarettes among people with mental health conditions. There's even a short report on how prenatal food insecurity might affect the severity of neonatal abstinence syndrome. And if you're curious about how the tobacco and e-cigarette industries influence addiction research and policy, this episode has some revealing insights for you.
Whether you're a professional in the field or someone personally touched by addiction, this episode offers a comprehensive look at cutting-edge research that could reshape your understanding of substance use and recovery. Tune in to hear these engaging discussions and stay informed about the latest developments in addiction research.
