Terminated

• Conditions: Alcohol Abuse

• Registration Number: NCT03876132
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Brest

Brief Summary

Alcohol use is the second leading cause of preventable death after smoking. The Evin law was built in 1991 with the goal of reducing exposure to alcohol marketing among the youngest. But this law is currently extremely weakened, and in a press release of February 26, 2018, the French Society of Alcoology is alarmed by these developments.

Studies focusing on the impact of alcohol marketing focus largely on young adolescents, and the links between exposure to marketing and the initiation of alcohol. But beyond these links, there has been little work on the impact of alcohol marketing in vulnerable subjects with regular alcohol consumption. Consumption of alcohol is one of the first causes of hospitalization in France (Paille and Reynaud, 2015), the damage is often restricted to notions of dependency risks, but they can appear as soon as consumptions of 1 US / d (Guerin and Laplanche, 2013) and they mainly concern 45-64 year olds. To our knowledge, there are no studies on the impact of alcohol marketing conducted on regular alcohol users, depending on how they use alcohol (use, or use disorders). mild, moderate or severe) in patients enrolled in primary care and specialized addiction care.
