Abstract

Alcohol use causes significant harms and is extensively regulated by governments, but alcohol-related questions are under-explored in public health ethics. To inform future work in this area, I conducted interviews with key informants from alcohol research and policy work in Australia. Thematic analysis of interviews identified a range of ethical issues that can be categorized under six themes: ethical issues in alcohol research; ethical issues raised by judgements about alcohol use; ethical issues raised by alcohol policies; ethical issues in policy processes; ethical questions about policy aims; and ethical issues in how alcohol problems are defined. The study provides direction for future research on problems that are underexplored in the ethics literature. These include problems arising from the influence of industry in alcohol research and policy, the question of how to develop research and policy without generating stigma, and social justice issues connected to alcohol-related stereotypes and judgements.

他人、耻辱和正常化：一项关于澳大利亚酒精政策伦理问题的关键信息者访谈研究。

酒精使用会造成重大危害，并受到政府的广泛管制，但与酒精有关的问题在公共卫生伦理中尚未得到充分探讨。为了为这一领域的未来工作提供信息，我采访了澳大利亚酒精研究和政策工作的主要线人。访谈的专题分析确定了一系列伦理问题，可分为六个主题：酒精研究中的伦理问题；关于酒精使用的判决所引起的道德问题；酒精政策引起的道德问题；政策制定过程中的道德问题；有关政策目标的伦理问题；以及如何定义酒精问题的道德问题。本研究为未来伦理学文献中未被充分探讨的问题的研究提供了方向。这些问题包括工业对酒精研究和政策的影响所产生的问题，如何在不产生耻辱的情况下制定研究和政策的问题，以及与酒精有关的陈规定型观念和判断有关的社会正义问题。

We welcome contributions from perspectives that are less commonly published in existing journals in the field and reports of empirical research studies using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
