So it's kind of almost least effective and most costly for women compared with men. But our stance, though, is that it's always better to know about these trade-offs and make them explicit...
Ever wondered how alcohol pricing policies affect men and women differently? In this episode of Addiction Audio, Dr. Rob Calder chats with Professor Petra Meier about her fascinating research on the subject. Using computer modelling, Professor Meier's study dives into the gender-specific impacts of alcohol pricing policies, revealing some surprising findings. For instance, minimum unit pricing tends to hit men in more deprived groups harder than women.
Men also spend twice as much on alcohol annually, making these policies less effective and more costly for women. The conversation doesn't stop there. They also discuss how these policies influence hospital admissions and access to treatment differently for men and women. Professor Meier stresses the importance of understanding these trade-offs to design more comprehensive and effective alcohol strategies.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the nuanced ways gender plays a role in alcohol consumption and policy effectiveness.
