Health Research Insights: Alcohol Misuse After the Pandemic
Health Research Findings on Alcohol Misuse
A recent medicine research review conducted by CUNY SPH Ph.D. candidate Thinh Vu sheds light on the dramatic increase in alcohol misuse in New York City following the COVID-19 pandemic. This surge is particularly concerning among minoritized populations, highlighting disparities in health science and access to support systems. Research shows that many individuals have turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism during these challenging times.

- Urgent need for change: Comprehensive policy reform is essential to address the health consequences of alcohol misuse.
- Public health initiatives: Encouraging reduced alcohol consumption through education and support.
- Focus on minority groups: Tailoring strategies to assist communities that have been disproportionately affected.
