WHO/EUROPE at EUSEM2025 in Vienna

October 21, 2025

At EUSEM 2025, WHO/Europe highlighted how emergency departments (EDs) are on the frontline of alcohol-related harm, and how their data can drive real change. Drawing on case studies from Canada and Lithuania, the session showed how ED evidence has mobilized communities, informed legislation, and relieved pressure on frontline staff. Participants also learned about a new WHO/EUSEM pilot study that will bring together emergency departments across Europe to systematically document youth alcohol-related ED presentations. The aim: to build a stronger evidence base that can shape prevention, improve care pathways, and strengthen public health policy.

In addition, screening and brief intervention (SBI) for alcohol sessions were held. A booth exhibited information about EHAA and other WHO resources.
