Proposed Intervention: A Behavioural Science Approach Towards Tackling Alcoholism in Professional Settings

Vridhi Sharma

Abstract: To tackle drinking behaviours amongst individuals, particularly those coming from lower socioeconomic backgrounds working in professional settings, the TIPPME model can be utilised in the workplace with respect to this. When alcoholism or binge drinking behaviours are likely to surge, they require mitigation lest the professional integrity in the workplace is hampered. Professional settings, particularly in the corporate world, tend to create an environment of hefty workload with a competitive culture, and when individuals enter the workspace from a relatively poor socioeconomic background, they are more inclined towards facing a heftier impact of the same when it comes to resorting to behaviours that propagate alcoholism (Collins, 2016).
