A commercial determinants framing also gets us to look at how the alcohol industry serves to impact on health in very diffuse ways.
Have you ever wondered how the alcohol industry impacts public health beyond just drinking? In this episode of the Alcohol Alert Podcast, Jeff Collin, a Professor of Global Health Policy at the University of Edinburgh, breaks down the concept of 'commercial determinants of health'. This phrase might sound like jargon, but it’s crucial for understanding the broader effects of the alcohol industry on our lives.
Collin dives into how the industry shapes health outcomes not just through consumption but also through job creation and government revenues. He raises important questions about the role of private companies in public health and highlights some major gaps in our current approaches, particularly when it comes to online marketing and global distribution. If you're curious about how market economies influence health or want to rethink conventional public health strategies, this episode is a must-listen.
It's packed with thought-provoking insights that challenge the status quo and encourage deeper reflection on the hidden forces at play.
