Abstract

Alcohol-related health policy research is responsible for guiding the implementation of laws and public health policies that have reduced alcohol-related highway injuries and deaths, as well as other alcohol-related problems over the last 40 years. This research, which tests theories about potential policy changes and responds to specific problems, has examined a vast array of prevention programs. This article briefly identifies 10 program categories and highlights four programs to illustrate the scope and complexity of the individual health policy areas within the categories.

KEY WORDS: Problematic alcohol and other drug (AOD) use; AOD misuse; policy; public health policies; laws; regulations; environmental­ level prevention; prevention through policy change
