Purpose: this toolkit is designed to assist researchers and health authorities to identify, access and publish studies using private sector data sources.
Premise: Data sharing is mutually beneficial to all stakeholders: it increases understanding of the use, misuse, effects, and properties of alcohol and the relationships between alcohol, health, and society, with the aim of contributing to more effective interventions to reduce the harmful use of alcohol and improve public health.
Scope: This portal provides tools and information on accessing publicly available data, the availability of subscription data, and other resources to guide researchers as to existing guidelines, contracts and standards used by journals and academics to ensure the publication of transparent and trustworthy research.

The resources on this website are not intended as health advice to individuals about their drinking.

For some people, the better choice may be to not drink at all.
