Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study conducts evidence-based evaluation of alcohol policy in Korea and proposes policy change based on the evaluation.
Methods: This study selected 40 articles utilizing PRISMA guideline and classified them into five areas of SAFER (WHO, 2018), the WHO’s classification criteria of alcohol related policy. A modified GRADE frameworks were utilized for the evidence evaluation.
Results: Research on the effectiveness of alcohol policy exhibits a skewed distribution, lacking research on alcohol availability restrictions, advertising and promotion restrictions, and taxes and pricing policies. As for evidence evaluation, research on college’s alcohol availability policy exhibits a relatively higher level of evidence, while research on other policies generally shows a low level of evidence.
Conclusion: Findings in this study shows the need to expand alcohol availability restriction, tighten drink-driving countermeasures, enforce comprehensive restrictions on alcohol advertising and especially reform alcohol tax and price policies.
