Alcohol use in Iraq: Perceptions of interviewed students at three Iraqi universities
This is the first study to explore young Iraqi perceptions and experiences of peers' alcohol use in the current context of conflict, political instability and globalisation. Young Iraqis are a vulnerable population who may be at risk of alcohol-related harm. Iraq should consider multidimensional preventive approaches that include evidence-based and culturally appropriate interventions that reflect young people's real-life experiences and challenges.
