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。它是基于首席研究员对英格兰饮酒社会史的研究，并将与卫生部西南酒精改善计划合作交付。四个分区域讲习班将讨论历史和文化知识在提供保健、减少犯罪和许可证政策方面的作用。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、犯罪和疾病伙伴关系、地方许可证颁发机构和第三部门组织的代表。一旦完成，将制作一份简报资源，并通过西南卫生部分发给与会者和其他利益攸关方。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。这些讲习班还将促进在一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，历史研究人员、政策制定者和一线服务提供者之间的沟通尤其存在差距。一些政府部门（卫生部、内政部、医疗和社会事务部和儿童福利部）已将应对围绕酒精使用的文化变革挑战的必要性确定为一项关键战略目标;该项目旨在通过在负责制定和实施减少酒精危害政策的人员中促进了解历史的文化，为这一进程做出独特的贡献。它还将寻求促进人文科学研究与相关公共卫生服务之间的更多接触。

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.
