Workplace Health Promotion: Alcohol UseRationale for research Women and girls make up more than half the world’s population and are on the
frontlines and often impacted than men and boys by poverty, climate change, food insecurity, lack of healthcare, and global economic crises.
Their contributions and leadership are central to finding a solution.
Alcohol is associated with violence - adolescent girls and young women have been shown to make for the better part of the total due to the violence, discrimination. Although women consume alcohol at lower levels than men, their body composition puts them at higher risk than men of developing some alcohol-related problems, both acutely (because of higher blood alcohol levels from a given amount of alcohol1) and chronically (from alcohol-related organ damage).
Women's bodies are more vulnerable to the toxic effects of alcohol. Women do not have to drink as much alcohol as men or be drinkers for as long a time before their health suffers. Women’s heavy-drinking patterns and alcohol use disorders are associated with increased likelihood of many psychiatric problems, including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, and suicidality, as well as increased risks of intimate partner violence and sexual assault.

South Africa
• Current alcohol use was reported to be 41.5% of the men and 17.1% of women. Among women, risky drinking was associated with: urban residence; the Coloured population group; lower education; and higher income.
• For both men and women, highest levels of binge drinking (12.5%) were in the 25 to 34 age group and, for hazardous or harmful drinking. 35% of the entire population is economically active population

AIM:To work in a collaborative partnership with the Rhodes University Peer Educators to develop and implement a culturally-sensitive and contextually-appropriate workplace health promotion intervention on tobacco and alcohol use for support staff at Rhodes University.
Phase 1 objectives:The objectives of this project are divided into 4 phases:
1. Exploratory phase To assess the successes and gaps in other countries and South Africa in their
approach towards tobacco and alcohol based policies and practices;
To evaluate the existing tobacco and alcohol health promotion policies and practises at Rhodes University;
To establish facilitating and constraining factors related to tobacco and alcohol use at Rhodes University.

2. Educational health promotion phase
To design a health promotion educational intervention to address tobacco and alcohol use related challenges, as raised by the key stakeholders and peer educators;
To design and test the culturally sensitive and appropriate health information pamphlets to be used in the educational intervention with the Rhodes University Peer Educators;
To design and test a health promotion manual to be used for future health promotion interventions by the Rhodes University Peer Educators.
3. Implementation phase
To conduct FGDs with volunteering Rhodes University Peer Educators for the future implementation of health promotion on tobacco and alcohol use for support staff.
4. Evaluation phase
To identify the constraining and facilitating factors for the resultant tobacco and alcohol health promotion programme by the Rhodes University Peer Educators.
