To this end, we kindly request your assistance in nominating an expert in the field of alcohol and health in your country who will be responsible for collecting these data and can be in direct contact with WHO. If necessary, two experts can be nominated, one for each of the two components of the survey (Alcohol and Service Capacity for Treatment of SUDs).
