Críticas:

"Intelligent, thoughtful and comprehensively referenced ...The book holds together well."--Family Practice "This book is clearly a landmark in its field. It is essential reading for any alcohologist or policy maker. However, it is a book to keep referring to rather than one which is read once and consigned forever to the shelf. This is definitely a book worth buying."--Drug News "Intelligent, thoughtful and comprehensively referenced ...The book holds together well."--Family Practice "This book is clearly a landmark in its field.

Reseña del editor:

Alcohol Policy and the Public Good provides a thorough appraisal of the nature and extent of society's alcohol problems and then explores in rigorous fashion how scientific findings are essential for the design of more effective policy responses. The book's authority stems from the unique network collaboration of 17 leading international scientists who worked together on its production with the support of the World Health Organization. They define a critical and highly informed perspective to provide the basis for future international consensus. Topics covered include international trends in alcohol consumption, understanding of the relationships between alcohol consumption and multiple types of harm, both as regards individuals and populations. With the epidemiological evidence established, the authors provide detailed discussions of the contributions of counter-measures , public education and treatment. A final chapter succinctly outlines the role these analyses can have in informing policy choices. This book is intended for alcohol researchers, clinicians and policy makers. The wider general public health field and policy makers.
