Socio-spatial inequalities in alcohol outlet availability: Evidence from register data in 15 urban areas in Québec, Canada
Alcohol availability differed by outlet type and disadvantage dimension. Offsite outlets were more common in both highly and minimally materially disadvantaged areas, while onsite outlets were more common in minimally disadvantaged areas. Socially disadvantaged areas had higher availability of both types of outlets. These findings suggest the need for targeted policies to reduce alcohol outlet availability, particularly in socially disadvantaged areas.
