Abstract
Alcohol-related harm is a rising global
concern particularly in low-income and middle-income
countries where alcohol use fuels the high rates of
violence, road traffic accidents and is a risk factor
for communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS and
tuberculosis. Existing evidence to address alcohol-related
harm recommends the use of intersectoral approaches,
however, previous efforts have largely focused on
addressing individual behaviour with limited attention to
whole-of-community approaches. Whole-of-community
approaches are defined as intersectoral interventions that
are systematically coordinated and implemented across
the whole community. The objective of this scoping review
is to synthesise the existing literature on multisectoral,
whole-of-community interventions which have been used
to modify or prevent alcohol-related harms.
