The next episode of our podcast series Life with Alcohol and Drugs is now available!
We are joined with Rebecca McColl, the Policy and Research Assistant here at Scottish Families, who chats about the Scottish Families Alcohol Action Group’s first report ‘It’s Everywhere’.
The Group designed a survey to get a better idea of how widely spread alcohol messages are in our homes, communities, online spaces, and other parts of everyday life. The survey was open for views in January/February 2021 and then again in September/October 2021. The report compares the findings and shares them to raise awareness and contribute towards creating positive actions that will reduce alcohol harm in Scotland.
In the first survey alone, 35 people noted over 350 references to alcohol – a major stat!
“The message that alcohol is normal and part of the fabric of daily life is harsh considering the level of harm it causes.”
You can also check out the group’s latest activities on their Twitter feed @alcsfad.
