Dentro del "Eighth Annual Johns Hopkins Fall Institute in Health Policy and Management" que se celebrará en noviembre se impartirá el curso "Alcohol, Society and Health" impartido por Dr. David Jernigan y M. Teresa Brugal.

El objetivo de este curso es: "This course will examine alcohol use and alcohol policy as a social, behavioral and political phenomena. The history of alcohol policy in the United States and other countries will be reviewed, as well as U.S. and international epidemiological evidence regarding health harms and possible health benefits of alcohol use. The course uses recent neurological research and social science research to inform the question of why people drink. Evidence of effectiveness of various interventions will be explored, ranging from individual to societal, and for preventing (in the case of underage and other high-risk populations) and reducing harmful use of alcohol."
