This new EENet infographic presents data on emergency room visits after alcohol sales policies changed in Ontario.

Many studies have shown that raising alcohol taxes or prices reduced alcohol-related harms such as violence, crimes, vehicle crashes, chronic diseases, transmission of STDs, and suicide. Decreasing hours of sale or decreasing availability of alcohol resulted in less consumption of alcohol and a significant decrease in alcohol-related harms.

A new resource for Ontario campuses explores issues related to cannabis use and health approaches to reduce harms.
