Scotland's minimum price per unit cut alcohol deaths. Tracking alcohol-related cancer incidence over the next decade would show whether it also prevents cancer.
Scottish minimum unit pricing reduced alcohol-specific deaths by roughly 13%; cancer effects lag by 10-20 years. Propose a pre-registered long-term evaluation using registry data and synthetic controls (England), plus modelling to guide other jurisdictions.
