THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) and the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS) are co-hosting a four part seminar series to discuss issues relating to men and alcohol. Each session will be chaired by an expert in the field who will invite three guest speakers to present their personal responses to three pre-set questions, which are relevant to the topic. These events will provide an opportunity for policy makers, academics, activists, and media representatives to discuss critically topics related to men and alcohol use. The intention is to stimulate thinking, challenge some attitudes and perceptions, and to think about future research and policy priorities. A summary of the discussions from the seminars will be collated into a report, which will be disseminated after the events. This series follows the women and alcohol seminar series held in 2017, the report for which can be found here.
This is the fourth and final event of the series, entitled Men and Alcohol: What's Next? This is a FREE event which will take place on March 20th, 2020 at the Institute of Alcohol Studies, Alliance House, 12 Caxton St, Westminster, LONDON from 14:00-16:00.
Experts with backgrounds in academia, medicine and the third sector will participate in a panel discussion guided by the following questions:
-
How will men be affected by alcohol in the future?
-
How can alcohol related harms to men be prevented or reduced?
-
How do we strike a balance between state intervention and individual responsibility?
