Social Disadvantage and Exposure to Lower Priced Alcohol in Off-Premise Outlets

摘要

Introduction and AimsGreater concentrations of off-premise alcohol outlets are found in areas of social disadvantage, exposing disadvantaged populations to excess risk for problems such as assault, child abuse and intimate partner violence. This study examines whether the outlets to which they are exposed also sell cheaper alcohol, potentially further contributing to income-related health disparities.
