Alcohol Issues - Episode 10 New Report: The Lethal Interaction between Alcohol and the Coronavirus Pandemic

Movendi International's weekly conversation about the latest alcohol issues in policy and science and new alcohol industry revelations.

Special edition

For this special edition of the Alcohol Issues podcast we welcome Frida Dangardt and Tim Stockwell for an in-depth conversation about alcohol issues related to COVID-19.

Frida Dangardt is an Associate Professor in Clinical Physiology at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg and doctor at the Queen Silvia Children’s Hospital, which is part of Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg.

Tim Stockwell is the Director of the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research (CISUR) and a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Victoria.

With host Maik Dünnbier they discuss key findings and unique insights into a brand new and ground-breaking report called “Alcohol and the coronavirus pandemic: individual, societal, and policy perspectives”. Frida and Tim are part of a team of world-renowned researchers in the field of alcohol harm and policy, led by Harold Holder. This group has written influential research reports in the series “Alcohol and Society” every year since 2013.

This year’s report is a bit different and a bit more special. It deals with a subject that we are right now all living in: the coronavirus pandemic. And it’s the first systematic assessment of individual, societal and policy issues related to alcohol and COVID-19.
