While alcohol use is linked to as many as one-third of suicide deaths, this connection is rarely discussed.
In this webinar, we outline the pathways between alcohol use and suicide, the data and terminology used to discuss alcohol-related suicide, and how policies on alcohol relate to the prevention of such deaths.
Each presentation also touches on the past and potential impacts of COVID-19 on alcohol-related deaths and suicide.
