Minimum Unit Pricing for alcohol evaluation: Compliance (licensing) study
Study description
We used mixed methods to explore MUP compliance and related issues post implementation.
Qualitative interviews were conducted with Licensing Standards Officers (LSOs), Trading Standards Officers (TSOs) and Police Officers. We analysed the interview data thematically using the Framework method. We utilised member checking of initial findings with the National LSO Network to explore the face validity of initial findings.
National licensing statistics for 2018/19 data will be published after the study’s reporting period, and so their findings will be added as a supplement later.
