Evaluating the programme and behavior change theories of a community alcohol education intervention in rural Sri Lanka: a study protocol
Glob Health Action. 2023 Dec 31;16(1):2273625. doi: 10.1080/16549716.2023.2273625. Epub 2023 Nov 16.ABSTRACTRisky alcohol use is a major public health problem globally and in Sri Lanka.
