Dr. Nazarius Tumwesigye, Senior Lecturer, School of Public Health, Makerere University, Uganda will deliver this seminar co-hosted by TIDI and the TCD Centre for Global Health. Several studies have established higher levels of alcohol consumption among the fisherfolk and some others linked risky sexual behaviour and crime to alcohol consumption. A study was carried out to establish the drinking patterns and risky sexual behaviour on two fish landing sites on lake Victoria in Uganda. This paper focuses on the drinking patterns with a view to identify possible variation with known drinking patterns in the rest of the country and determine independent factors associated with frequent and heavy alcohol consumption.
Time: 3-4pm
Venue: Room 309, Centre for Global Health, 7-9 Leinster Street South, TCD.
