Did We Drink Our Way Through the Pandemic?

The pandemic has had a “shadow epidemic” of mental health and substance use problems. Surveys are showing that a significant chunk of the population increased their drinking during the pandemic, and these patterns are likely to continue, leading to predictable poor health consequences.

David Jernigan, PhD will be joining us on this episode to discuss alcohol problems and strategies to reduce them, especially after the pandemic. Dr. Jernigan is also the scientific chair and serves on the board of the Global Alcohol Policy Alliance. He has written more than 140 peer-reviewed journal articles and contributed chapters to seven books on alcohol issues.

Tune in to find out what you can do to combat this ongoing issue.
