Scientific research and writing mentorship initiative towards diversity in research on alcohol control policies

The World Health Organization’s Less Alcohol Unit, Department of Health Promotion, the Alcohol Research Group, and the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research are pleased to announce a new scientific research and writing mentorship initiative. 

The initiative aims to support early-stage researchers from low- and middle-income countries in their work to analyse, report and publish a study related to strengthening alcohol policies tackling the determinants driving the acceptability, availability and affordability of alcohol consumption. The initiative aims to accelerate the finalisation of scientific research with the support of expert mentors.
