The objective of this webinar is to support decision-makers who protect effective alcohol regulations by raising awareness of conflicts of interests, summarizing the current evidence on interference from the alcohol industry in public health policy as well as discuss best practices. We will describe the fundamental conflict of interest that exists between the alcohol industry’s objectives and public health purposes and bring clear and current examples of the way this involvement unfolds and the consequences for public health. In addition, the webinar will outline actions to avoid and manage conflicts of interests and interference by drawing from examples of similar fields.

The webinar is aimed to policy makers, researchers and alcohol policy advocates, as well to the general public interested on the topic.
