Our Work

Our work at GAPA combines rigorous research with strategic communication to drive alcohol policy reform. This section highlights our awareness campaigns, literature reviews, and investigative reports that address critical issues from drinking culture to public health. Explore how we translate research into accessible advocacy materials that reach diverse audiences and inform policy decisions.

  • For Alcohol Awareness Month, throughout April of 2025, we launched a social media campaign alongside The Center for Maternal Substance Abuse and Child Development at Emory University and MotherToBaby Georgia. This campaign brought awareness to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and the guidelines of drinking while pregnant. Please take a look at our X profile to take a deeper look into this campaign!

  • This research investigates "mommy wine culture" and its impact on youth alcohol access. Through comprehensive literature review and analysis, the study examines how the normalization of maternal wine consumption intersects with digital alcohol marketing and relaxed online sales policies to create public health risks for young people. The final report provides policy recommendations for addressing these converging factors that contribute to youth alcohol exposure.

  • This social media awareness campaign examines how drinking culture shapes social expectations and individual choices around alcohol consumption. Through educational content and practical resources, the campaign addresses topics such as social pressure to drink, alcohol's health impacts, and alternatives to alcohol-centered socializing. The initiative provides evidence-based information and support resources to help individuals navigate cultural pressures while promoting healthier social norms.
