Webinar: Policy Approaches to Alcohol and Cancer Prevention: Resources, Results, and Gaps
Date:
July 18, 2023 - 1:00 PM to July 18, 2023 - 2:00 PMDetails:
Policy approaches to behavioral risk factors for cancer are widely believed to be important elements of successful efforts at cancer prevention and control. Alcohol is a leading risk factor for cancer, yet relatively little policy research has directly addressed alcohol and cancer prevention. In this webinar, three speakers will highlight the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS) along with alcohol and cancer policy research and gaps.
The webinar aims to raise awareness and promote interest of both cancer prevention and control and alcohol research, as well as resources for alcohol policy approaches to cancer prevention.
This webinar is part of the Alcohol and Cancer Webinar Series.
