Abstract

The devastating effects of alcohol in the Russian federation have been well studied and are now widely accepted as being one of the leading causes of the nation’s mortality rate. An important study for The Russian Federation would be to quantify the density of alcohol street sales and street based alcohol advertising. This aspect of the alcoholic problem in Russia has been grossly overlooked. Quantifying the street price of cheep alcohol drinks relative to other beverages would also be useful for Russian public health affairs. This pilot study sought to gather such information.
