Abstract:
This paper presents a strategic analysis of the prevention of the harm caused by alcohol in Spain. The alcohol action plan of the European Office of the WHO offers a guide for the development of the most effective control policies. Following its scheme, the current situation and the prevention policies are reviewed with data available in 2020. Strategies and key actions for the future are proposed, considering as major goals to curb the early abuse of alcohol by adolescents and to reduce the risk consumption of the population at large. Besides helping persons with abuse criteria from health services, key actions for prevention include public policies such as fiscal, marketing and availability regulations, and drink driving measures. Some have followed a favorable evolution in Spain, but for others there is wide room for improvement.
