Résumé
Alcohol use continues to be a major public health problem in Uganda. This study sought to estimate the availability of sachet alcohol among retail food and beverage establishments in two Ugandan districts (Kampala and Jinja) before and after enactment of the national sachet alcohol ban. Independent observations in 100 establishments were conducted by a pair of trained observers during the peak hours of 7 P.M. to 1 A.M. Using a standardized checklist, observers recorded indications of alcohol availability before and after enactment of the sachet alcohol ban. Availability of (a) alcohol and (b) sachet alcohol were significantly affected by the ban. Before the ban, 69% of all establishments sold alcohol; there was a significant reduction in alcohol availability after enactment of the ban to 43% of the establishments ( Legislation banning the manufacture and sale of sachet alcohol has the potential to reduce sachet availability. Future studies should examine changes in alcohol consumption following the sachet alcohol ban.
