| | CAMH research is influencing public policy on alcohol around the world CAMH researchers help maintain the World Health Organization’s Global
Alcohol Database, monitoring alcohol consumption, morbidity and mortality
rates and trends from around the world, and we collaborate on the Global
Status Report on Alcohol and Health. These important activities inform
research and guide policy reform around the world. This year CAMH researchers collaborated on several international research
studies on alcohol. The studies demonstrated that consuming alcohol above
daily recommended limits is linked to the development of several cancers; that
culture and gender have a significant influence on the way people drink; and
that increasing alcohol prices and restricting alcohol availability reduce
harmful effects on health and saves lives. |  |
