Summary of recent research on marketing alcohol to young
people
March 2003
SHORE response to Advertising Standards Authority Liquor
Advertising Review
Dear Colleagues,
We have been asked about SHORE’s response to the
ASA review of alcohol advertising.
After consideration we will not be making a substantive
submission to the ASA review. This reflects a belief
that our time is better spent disseminating the research
base available to inform policy decisions on alcohol
marketing to a broader audience. This decision reflects
the fact that the review is being carried out under the
auspices of an industry body with strong vested interests
which therefore may not provide the best process for
consideration of these issues.
Our decision should not be taken as implying any lack
of integrity of people on the review panel; this is clearly
not the case. Rather our feeling is that spending time
on a submission is an opportunity cost in terms of our
time which can be better spent elsewhere. We do, however,
appreciate that the ASA review has had a very positive
spin off in terms of the debate which has been engendered
in the field and in the media.
I continue to have involvement in this research area
and have recently made presentations at a number of international
conferences and meetings. Some information about these
is available on our website.
As we produce new material for publication this will
be made known to people on this e-list.
There is considerable interest in the issue of marketing –
particularly in relation to the response of young people
- internationally. The World Health Organisation has
signalled this as an area of concern and held a working
meeting on the topic in Valencia in May 2002. For a copy
of the Valencia Declaration and other information on
alcohol marketing visit the Global Alcohol Policy Alliance
website http://www.ias.org.uk/theglobe/2002gapa2/default.html
A monograph containing the papers from the Valencia meeting
is due to be published by WHO later this year.
A number of governments have also indicated interest
in reviewing alcohol marketing issues and in the United
States advocates are exploring new research-based policy
approaches –
visit www.camy.org
for information about this. A key issue to note here
is that the emphasis has moved away from detailed examination
of the content of advertising or indeed the relationship
between advertising/marketing and consumption/harm. The
focus is now on the level of exposure of young people
to such advertising/marketing as it is accepted that
this is in need of control.
We expect that, given the local and international interest
in this issue, an opportunity to make a submission to
a government initiated review process may well be available
in the future and look forward to making a detailed submissionto
such a review.
