A thematic analysis of alcohol and alcohol-related harm across health and social policy in Aotearoa New Zealand

CONCLUSIONS: The lack of alignment between New Zealand alcohol policy and the SAFER framework can be partially attributable to the absence of an updated national alcohol strategy (NAS). An updated NAS should identify responsible agencies, create a systematic monitoring and evaluation mechanism, and be consistent with the WHO SAFER framework.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: The analysis supports the need to update a national alcohol strategy to guide alcohol policy development.PMID:38626567 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2024.100143
