Article Synopsis
- This study explored how common health-related marketing messages on alcohol products lead to misconceptions about their healthiness among Australian adults aged 18-65 who drink alcohol.
- The survey found that a significant number of participants (75%) believed certain marketing cues indicated an alcohol product was 'better for you,' and 61% thought the type of alcohol was just as important as the amount consumed when assessing health risks.
- Misinterpretations varied by age, gender, education, and socioeconomic status, indicating a need for better regulation of alcohol marketing and tailored health promotion strategies based on specific demographic misperceptions.
Background: There is growing international interest in a goal once considered unthinkable: phasing out the retail sales of smoked tobacco products. In this study, we examined public support for phasing out sales and specific measures for moving towards a phase-out among a nationally representative sample of Australian adults.
Methods: In December 2019, we used a probability-based online panel, Life in Australia™, to survey n=1939 Australian adults (n=1874 included in analyses due to missing data).
