These initiatives provide the background for the continuing role of WHO in supporting Member States to reduce the harm done by alcohol. In resolution WHA58.26, the Fifty-eighth World Health Assembly in 2005 requested the Director-General "to report to the Sixtieth World Health Assembly on evidence-based strategies and interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm, including a comprehensive assessment of public-health problems caused by harmful use of alcohol" and "to draw up recommendations for effective policies and interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm". To this end, the Committee was convened with the main objectives of reviewing a range of public health problems attributable to alcohol consumption, as well as scientific and empirical evidence of effectiveness of different policy options, and providing technical recommendations on effective policies and interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm.--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Drinking of alcoholic beverages $x Health aspects. 650 0 $a Drinking of alcoholic beverages $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Drinking of alcoholic beverages $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Alcoholism $x Health aspects. 650 0 $a Alcoholism $x Social aspects. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009114659 650 0 $a Alcoholism $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Alcoholism $x Prevention. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85003296 650 12 $a Alcohol Drinking $x adverse effects. $2 [MeSH] $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000428Q000009 650 12 $a Alcoholism $x prevention & control. $2 [MeSH] $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000437Q000517 655 2 $a Congresses. 773 18 $w 990011514680202771 $g no:944 830 0 $a Technical report series (World Health Organization) ; $v 944. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n83706379 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317035915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93BD1BF4EAD411E7BA71765497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
