Alcohol consumption among youth of India: a secondary data analysis of NFHS-5 data
Although youth alcohol consumption has decreased from NFHS-4 to NFHS-5, it still remains a concerning issue. But the continued variance in prevalence of regions calls for a unified national policy on alcohol. Targeted, region-specific strategies are needed to reduce youth alcohol use effectively. (Data were taken for NFHS-5 India 2019-21 from the Demographic and Health Survey website).
