About this video

Prof Kim explains results from research on the effects of alcohol on women and what this means for them, policy and society. In general the alcoholism problem is more sever for women, e.g. impact on health, and they receive less support from their families and from treatment facilities. Alcohol policy should address the specific needs of women in the treatment and in rehabilitation, changing how alcohol is advertised to target women, and gain better scientific understanding of the role of metabolism and of socio cultural environment on behaviour and health.
