The Pan American Health Organization cordially invites you to participate on Wednesday 9 September, 2020, at 12.30 pm EDT, in the webinar "Regional Survey on Alcohol Use and COVID-19 in Latin America and the Caribbean". This session is part of the Alcohol and Health Webinar series.
Overview
Drinking alcohol is primarily a social activity, often done in the public, in public venues, festivals, sporting events. The availability of alcohol in these places have decreased with the implementation of quarantine and other measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19. It is important to know what has changed in the drinking habits of the population so we can better respond with information, education, services and other strategies as needed and in a timely manner.
Therefore, PAHO has elaborated an anonymous and confidential survey to be responded by people older than 18 years old living in Latin America and Caribbean countries. In this webinar, the results of the survey will be presented.
Presenters
Dr. Maristela Monteiro, Senior Advisor on Alcohol, Department of Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health, PAHO.
