Abstract

This study aimed to examine the prevalence of public acceptance of several restriction policies related to alcohol use, sale, and advertising in the Brazilian population. It also investigated factors associated with non-adherence to those policies. This cross-sectional study used data from the First Brazilian National Survey on Alcohol and Drugs. A sample of 3,007 participants completed scales regarding 16 restriction policies. An acceptance scale was created, and the top 5% of respondents showing the lowest acceptance rates were analyzed. Associations were assessed using adjusted logistic regression models (StataSE10). Most respondents were favorable to the restriction policies presented and to the implementation of new policies to further restrict alcohol consumption. The factors predicting non-adherence to the policies were: being male, young, single, well educated, not religious, and smoker. The use of illegal substances and alcohol abuse/dependence were also associated with non-adherence to the restriction policies. Policies related to treatment for alcohol dependence and alcohol advertising restrictions were the ones most commonly accepted. Future actions arewarranted to inform the population less susceptible to adhere of the importance of public health policies.
