The Scottish Government is conducting a focus group with young people, aged 18-24, living in Scotland on their experiences and views of the impact of Minimum Unit Pricing of alcohol (MUP). This focus group is part of a series of roundtables with various public and industry stakeholders and will help inform a final report on MUP, which will be laid in Parliament later this year.
This focus group is part of the Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) roundtable discussions that are taking place in July with various stakeholders, including groups from the public and private sector.
The information shared within the focus group will be used alongside other evidence gathered during the first 5 years of Minimum Unit Pricing to inform the Scottish Government’s report on the impact of MUP.
If you are 18-24 years old, living in Scotland, and interested in participating please email Nikoleta.Atanasova@gov.scot expressing your interest by Friday 28th July
The proposed date for the focus group is Monday 31st of July, but if you cannot make this date but are still interested please email.
The discussion will last around 90 minutes, held on MS Teams, and all participants will receive a £20 Love2Shop e-voucher from the Scottish Government as a thank you for their involvement.
