📢 New findings on the impact of alcohol health-warning labels! The recent WHO/Europe study was conducted across 14 European countries with over 19,000 participants. Here are the key takeaways: 📈 Increased awareness: Exposure to cancer warning labels on alcohol significantly increased knowledge about the link between alcohol and cancer across all countries, regardless of the label format. 🏷️Acceptance of different labels: Cancer messages were perceived more impactful and relevant when compared to general health harm and responsibility messages. Among cancer messages, labels containing only text or including a warning symbol were perceived as more acceptable compared to labels containing graphic image. 👥 Universal Impact: The effect on knowledge was consistent across various demographic groups, making these labels a universal tool for educating the public about the risks of alcohol, including cancer. This study reinforces the importance of clear health warnings on alcohol containers. Consumers have the right to know about the risks associated with alcohol consumption, to make healthier and informed choices!
