Abstract

This is a final report, based on data collected 42 months post-implementation of MPA using two research methods: (1) a cross-sectional, anonymous, online questionnaire survey of adult drinkers living in Wales; and (2) qualitative interviews with adult drinkers living in Wales.

Key themes investigated in the survey and interviews included: awareness of MPA; changes in drinking patterns and related behaviours; and views on other ways of reducing alcohol-related harm in Wales. Of particular importance for this final wave of data collection were questions exploring attitudes towards MPA, views on its effectiveness, and thoughts about its future in Wales.
