Modelling the case for alcohol pricing policy in the USA
Alcohol has become increasingly affordable in the USA in recent decades, coinciding with rising alcohol related harms.1,2 Yet, in contrast to many other high-income countries, and despite increased alcohol pricing being identified as a WHO best buy policy, there has been scarce research on the potential effects of price changes on alcohol-related outcomes in the USA. In this context, the study by Carolin Kilian and colleagues provides timely and policy-relevant evidence.3
