Sally Casswell ONZM is a New Zealand academic, and as of 2019 is a full professor at the Massey University.[1] She is a member of the WHO Expert Advisory Panel on Drug Dependence and Alcohol Problems and is chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Global Alcohol Policy Alliance. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand and an Officer of the Order of New Zealand.[2]

Academic career[edit]

After a 1974 PhD titled 'Acute effects of cannabis intoxication' at the University of Otago, Casswell moved to Massey University, rising to full professor.[1]

Much of Casswell's work involves the public-health psychology, including issues such as alcohol regulation,[3][4][5] recreational drug regulation[6][7][8] and sugar taxes.[9][10][11] She has argued in favour of a greater contribution of multinational alcohol companies to the costs of alcohol-related harms.
