Some of the best evidence of effects of control policies on alcohol availability stems from controlled experimental studies in the Nordic state-owned alcohol monopolies. Publications from these studies do not, however, explain the process leading up to the implementation of changes in policy measures under controlled experimental conditions. In September 2020, the Norwegian state alcohol monopoly started the implementation of extended trading hours, employing a randomised controlled trial design. In this commentary, we give an account of the process leading up to this implementation and how the monopoly considered various pro- and contra-arguments in this regard. This case illustrates that willingness to contribute to strengthened scientific evidence on alcohol control policies can be embedded in the social responsibility of a state alcohol monopoly.
关于控制政策对酒精供应影响的一些最佳证据来自北欧国有酒精垄断企业的对照实验研究。然而，这些研究的出版物并未解释在对照实验条件下政策措施变化实施之前的过程。2020年9月，挪威国家酒精垄断企业开始实施延长营业时间，并采用随机对照试验设计。在这篇评论中，我们阐述了这一实施之前的过程，以及该垄断企业在这方面如何考虑各种支持和反对的论点。这个案例表明，为加强酒精控制政策的科学证据做出贡献的意愿可以体现在国家酒精垄断企业的社会责任中。
