Research on young people, alcohol and locality

This call for proposals forms a key element of the JRF's programme of work on Alcohol, which aims to contribute to halting or reversing negative drinking cultures and patterns among young people in the UK

The programme has so far concentrated on transmission of drinking cultures, and to this end we have already funded two research projects on family influences, three on peer influences (including one with a strong focus on ethnicity); one project on media influences (including depictions of celebrities); and a survey examining the impact of multiple influences.

This call for proposals is focused on the influence that 'locality' has on the drinking and drinking cultures of young people aged 15-24.
