Does Believing Alcohol Causes Cancer Moderate the Relationship Between Consumer Awareness of the Alcohol–Cancer Link and Support for Alcohol Policies? Findings From a <scp>Canadian</scp> Cross‐Sectional Study
This study highlights that believing alcohol is a carcinogen moderates the relationship between awareness of the alcohol-cancer link and support for policies restricting alcohol availability and marketing. Future longitudinal studies are needed to test interventions for effectively raising awareness and strengthening belief and acceptance of alcohol-related cancer risks.
