Alcohol policy and the COVID-19 pandemic: Where we are, how we got here & what we’ve learned
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
Please join us for a free webinar that will explore changes in alcohol-related policy over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics will include why alcohol has sometimes been framed as an “essential good,” arguments for and against making alcohol easier to access during government-enforced lockdowns, and what the likely consequences are of various policy changes that have taken place. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A period.
Presenters:
- Jean-François (JF) Crépault, Senior Policy Analyst, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)
- Catherine Paradis, Senior Research and Policy Analyst, Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA)
This webinar is co-hosted by Evidence Exchange Network (EENet), within the Provincial Support Program at CAMH, and by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA). It follows the webinar Alcohol consumption, harms, and treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic, hosted on March 10, 2022.
