Gender alcohol and culture

The first Pan American Conference on Alcohol Policies held in Brasília (2005) featured Dr. Claudina Cayetano's analysis of gender, alcohol, and cultural dynamics in Belize. The GENACIS survey covered 2,400 households, exploring characteristics such as education, work experience, and drinking behavior. Key findings revealed a substantial portion of the population as lifetime abstainers, while employment disparities between genders were notable. The survey's methodology included face-to-face interviews in English and Spanish, reflecting the diverse urban and rural characteristics of Belize.
