Description

Understanding inequalities in alcohol use and drinking problems. This Fellowship aims to take an innovative approach to understand the mechanisms that drive the Alcohol Harm Paradox – whereby those with higher socio-economic status (SES) drink more alcohol but those with lower SES experience more problems from alcohol. Expected outcomes include the generation of new knowledge about how access to social and material capital such as money, knowledge, power, and social connections contribute to the Alcohol Harm Paradox in Australia. Findings should provide significant benefits to Australian society through supporting the development of new policy and practice changes to reduce alcohol-related inequality..
