The alcohol marketing policy environment and adolescent drinking in Sri Lanka: A qualitative exploration of stakeholder perspectives

 

 

 

 

This study finds that the alcohol policy environment in Sri lanka is weak and influenced by the alcohol industry. The laid back nature of the policy environment also comes from the weak public health programs and the lack of political backing. The study also identifies that a unified public health approach supported by policy and political commitment may pave the way for better alcohol control in Sri Lanka.
