About Insights & Reports

Under its Statement of Purpose the Council is committed to generate and disseminate research-based evidence to inform and influence policy and practice. To implement the statement the Council has reviewed its publications' policy and decided to disseminate more widely the knowledge gained from its research and action projects. This will be done principally by:

  • publishing a series of lay summaries entitled Alcohol Insights;
  • making reports more accessible to researchers.

It is a requirement of any grant that the Grant Holder will provide a Final Report in a standard form and draft an Alcohol Insight.

Final Reports

A core part of the new AERC Alcohol Library.

Final Reports are detailed reports about completed projects funded by the AERC. They include useful manuals and toolkits as well as academic reports.

These documents are all in PDF Document file format, if you're not sure how to use these, please see the orange box in the side bar for further details.

A majority of these documents are the full reports rom which our shorter Alcohol Insights are taken. So if you're looking for less detailed summaries visit the Alcohol Insights Section. If one of these Reports directly relates to a specific Alcohol Insight then a link will appear in the farthest right hand column. Click the link to be taken to the corresponding Insight.

WARNING! - Please note that if the file size is highlighted in orange it indicates a LARGE file which may take time to download depending on the speed of your internet connection.
