Research on young people who do not drink or drink very little
This call for proposals forms a key element of the JRF's programme of work on Alcohol, which aims to contribute to halting or reversing negative drinking cultures and patterns among young people in the UK.
The programme has so far concentrated on transmission of drinking cultures, and to this end we have already funded two research projects on family influences, three on peer influences (including one with a strong focus on ethnicity); one project on media influences (including depictions of celebrities); and a survey examining the impact of multiple influences.
This calls for proposals focuses on why and how some young people do not drink at all or do not drink to intoxication, and how this choice impacts on their lives.

Note: This is one of two Calls for Proposals currently open regarding alcohol. The other is Research on young people, alcohol and locality. Contractors are welcome to put in proposals under both calls, provided the proposals take account of the different requirements of each call and they have capacity to deliver across all the projects they have bid for.
