*This is a repeated session.

All sessions are live-hosted, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers. All sessions will be presented via Zoom. PRI is unable to award hours for sessions previously attended.

Please note that participants are responsible for ensuring online PRI sessions and the number of hours earned fulfill your system’s requirements. Credentialing requirements for online sessions stipulate all participants must (1) individually register, and (2) log into the online session on their own device to received credit/hours for attending. Learners who participate in an online session via shared login will not receive a certificate. Learners are also required to attend sessions in full for credit hours to be awarded.  Participants will receive a survey email after the session and will receive a certificate once the survey has been submitted. The link to the surveys are also available on the instructor site under “My Trainings.” Note, participants must attend the entire session.

PRI supports low risk driving choices. Therefore, we will remove anyone who is driving on a Zoom call hosted by our team. So as to not further distract, we will not chat or verbally ask questions first. You’ll be able to join a different Zoom session, from a stationary place, at a later date.

Description:

For decades, a common research finding reported in the media has been that low-level drinking can be beneficial. In the last few years there have been a lot of headlines suggesting there is no “safe” amount of drinking. What does the best evidence tell us, and do the low-risk guidelines on alcohol need to be lowered?

Goals:  

This session will focus on limitations of research and how these affect what we can confidently conclude from the best evidence.

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify at least two limitations of research which might downplay the risks and overstate the potential benefits of low-level consumption.
• Identify at least two ways the alcohol industry has attempted to influence alcohol research.
• Identify at least two limitations to studies which might downplay the potential benefits and overstate the risks of low-level consumption.
• Identify at least two ways low-level drinking seems to have potential health benefits for some people.
• Identify at least two health problems that low-level drinking might increase risk for some people.
