Alcohol and public health: culture, policy and delivery

该项目旨在通过鼓励广泛参与历史和文化研究，加强英格兰西南部减少酒精危害政策的设计和实施。它是基于首席调查员关于英格兰饮酒社会史的工作，并将与卫生部西南酒精改善计划合作进行。四个分区域讲习班将讨论历史和文化知识在保健提供、减少犯罪和许可证政策领域的作用。与会者将包括来自初级保健信托基金、毒品和酒精行动小组、犯罪和障碍伙伴关系、当地许可当局和第三部门组织的代表。一旦完成，将编制一份简报资源，并通过西南卫生部向与会者和其他利益攸关方分发。该资源将为寻求将历史和文化知识应用于减少酒精危害工作的从业者提供一个工具包。讲习班还将促进在这个往往支离破碎的领域建立可持续的知识和资源共享网络，在历史研究人员、政策制定者和前线服务提供者之间的沟通方面尤其存在差距。许多政府部门(卫生部、内政部、卫生与公众服务部和卫生与公众服务部)已将应对酒精使用带来的文化变化的挑战确定为一项关键战略目标；该项目旨在通过在负责设计和实施减少酒精危害政策的人中促进了解历史的文化，为这一进程作出独特贡献。它还将寻求促进人文研究与公共卫生提供之间的更多接触，如有必要。

This project seeks to enhance the design and delivery of alcohol harm reduction policies in South West England through encouraging wide-ranging engagement with historical and cultural research. It is based on the Lead Investigator's work on the social history of drinking in England, and will be delivered in partnership with the Department of Health South West Alcohol Improvement Programme. Four subregional workshops will address the role of historical and cultural knowledge in the areas of health provision, crime reduction and licensing policy. Participants will include representatives from Primary Care Trusts, Drug and Alcohol Action Teams, Crime and Disorder Partnerships, local licensing authorities, and third sector organisations. Once completed, a briefing resource will be produced and disseminated to participants and other stakeholders via the Department of Health South West. The resource will provide a toolkit for practitioners seeking to apply historical and cultural knowledge to their work in alcohol harm reduction. The workshops will also promote the establishment of sustainable knowledge and resource sharing networks across a field which is often fragmented, with particular gaps in communication between historical researchers, policy developers and frontline service providers. The need to address the challenge of culture change around alcohol use has been identified as a key strategic goal by a number of Government departments ( Department of Health, Home Office, DCMS and DCSF); this project seeks to make a distinctive contribution to that process by promoting a historically-informed culture among those responsible for designing and delivering alcohol harm reduction policies. It will also seek to promote greater engagement between humanities research and public health provision where relevant.
