Effect of policy, economics, and the changing alcohol marketplace on alcohol related deaths in England and Wales

In their discussion of alcohol policy and economics, Sheron and Gilmore refer to "The modelling of alcohol policy by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), World Health Organization, and the UK government". The references given show that the latter refers to the work of the Sheffield Alcohol Research Group (SARG). The researchers who make up SARG would like to make it clear that we are an independent research group based within the University of Sheffield and not a part of the UK government. Our research modelling the impacts of alcohol policies has been funded by a range of organisations including the UK government, the Medical and Economic & Social Research Councils, the National Institute for Health Research and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
