ARG’s focus on international research involves projects that transcend national boundaries to address alcohol-related health problems and facilitate an effective global response.
Our work involves collaboration with international organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization, country-level policy makers and regional partners to include research on global injury rates, risk of injury and drinking patterns, alcohol use and outcomes of individuals living near a national border, and country-specific consumption rates and risk of acute and chronic health issues.
Research findings to date have informed national and international policies, including low risk drinking guidelines, economic costs of excessive alcohol consumption, comparative risk assessment in the Global Burden of Disease estimates, formulation of the DSM-5 criteria for alcohol use disorders, evaluations of assessment tools, and recommendations for clinical best practice.
