Application of the socio-ecological model to understand the drivers of excessive alcohol and salt consumption: a qualitative study in Ghana

This study highlights the multilevel influences on alcohol and salt consumption, emphasising the interactions across SEM levels. It highlights that addressing unhealthy consumption is not solely a matter of personal responsibility, demonstrating that societal and policy factors play a significant role in shaping health and dietary behaviours. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive public health strategies that address influences at multiple levels to effectively reduce excessive alcohol and salt intake.

Abstract

This study highlights the multilevel influences on alcohol and salt consumption, emphasising the interactions across SEM levels. It highlights that addressing unhealthy consumption is not solely a matter of personal responsibility, demonstrating that societal and policy factors play a significant role in shaping health and dietary behaviours. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive public health strategies that address influences at multiple levels to effectively reduce excessive alcohol and salt intake.
