The research on women and alcohol was reviewed, and key informants interviewed, who daily encounter the impacts of in women's lives. In particular the research asked: -What are the patterns of drinking among women, have these changed over time, and if so, how? -What harms result for women from their own and others' drinking" -Is the impact of alcohol on women's ealth - either through their own drinking or that of others - a growing concern? -If so, what are the major influences on women' s drinking or the harm to women from others' drinking? -What is currently working to prevent or reduce harm to women from their own or other people's alcohol consumption? This briefing paper provides a context to the research. It then summarises the findings including those related to the prevalence of women's drinking; the harmful effects of alcohol on women; risks and protective factors that influence women's drinking; and interventions that are or may be effective at reducing alcohol-related harm for women. It concludes with a set of recommendations to help ensure that steps to reduce alcohol harm will improve health outcomes for women.
