Sommario/riassunto |

Since the last meeting of the WHO Expert Committee on Problems Related to Alcohol Consumption, WHO has undertaken a range of major initiatives to support Member States and reinforce the evidence on which policies work, to develop global and regional information systems, and to promote effective policies in health-care settings. These initiatives provide the background for the continuing role of WHO in supporting Member States to reduce the harm done by alcohol. In resolution WHA58.26, the Fifty-eighth World Health Assembly in 2005 requested the Director-General "to report to the Sixtieth World Health Assembly on evidence-based strategies and interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm, including a comprehensive assessment of public-health problems caused by harmful use of alcohol" and "to draw up recommendations for effective policies and interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm". To this end, a WHO Expert Committee on Problems Related to Alcohol Consumption was convened with the main objectives of reviewing a range of public health problems attributable |

|
|
|
|
|
|
to alcohol consumption, as well as scientific and empirical evidence of effectiveness of different policy options, and providing technical recommendations on effective policies and interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm. |
