ALT Join us on Thursday, Sept 5 (10 am-4.30pm) for a workshop on ‘‘Priorities for Future Research on Marketing and Consumption of NoZero and Low Alcoholic Beverages (NoLo) in Ireland: A One-Day Workshop with People Interested in Commercial Determinants of Health’’. Co-organised by Emeka Dumbili (UCD School of Sociology) and Paula Leonard (Alcohol Forum Ireland), the workshop is a collaborative effort that will bring together commercial determinants of health (CDoH) researchers, advocates, charity organisations, members of CSOs and the general public. Together, we will explore available evidence regarding NoLo marketing, consumption, and health implications in Ireland and determine areas to prioritise in the research and advocacy around NoLo/alcohol and health. We aim to build capacity for alcohol and other CDoH research/advocacy in Ireland. This HRB-funded event will feature presentations, plenary & workshops. Venue is at UCD LAW L024 Mason Hayes, UCD. You may apply for €50 bursary.
