Unrecognized Catalyst to Development: The Neglected Role of Alcohol Policy in the Americas’ Sustainable Development Goal Progress

Reducing alcohol consumption--a leading cause of death and disability in the Americas--was not frequently acknowledged in the VNRs. Many countries may be missing an opportunity to highlight their efforts. More likely, however, they fail to recognize alcohol as an important public health issue that must be addressed to achieve the SDGs.

Abstract

Reducing alcohol consumption--a leading cause of death and disability in the Americas--was not frequently acknowledged in the VNRs. Many countries may be missing an opportunity to highlight their efforts. More likely, however, they fail to recognize alcohol as an important public health issue that must be addressed to achieve the SDGs.
