Modifying the Drinking Context

Modifying the Drinking Context Many prevention measures seek to limit drinking in the contexts or environments where alcohol is typically sold and consumed (e.g., bars and restaurants). The most effective options involve: enforcement of serving regulations increasing the legal liability of bar staff and owners for the actions of those they serve.

Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) programs Focus on attitudes, knowledge, skills, and practices of persons involved in serving alcoholic beverages on licensed premises If supported by actual changes in the serving policies of licensed establishments and reinforced by local police, RBS training can reduce heavy consumption and high risk drinking

Drinking-Driving Countermeasures

Education and Persuasion

Education and Persuasion Strategies School-based alcohol education programs have been found to increase knowledge and change attitudes toward alcohol and other substances, but actual substance use remains unaffected. Approaches that address values clarification, self-esteem, general social skills, and “alternatives” approaches that provide activities inconsistent with alcohol use (e.g., sports) are equally ineffective. Programs that include both resistance skills training and normative education (which attempts to correct adolescents’ tendency to overestimate the number of their peers who drink) have modest effects that are short-lived unless accompanied by ongoing booster sessions. Programs that include both individual-level education and family- or community-level interventions may not be sufficient to delay the initiation of drinking, or to sustain a small reduction in drinking beyond the operation of the program.

Summary: Education and Persuasion Strategies The impact of education and persuasion programs tends to be small at best. When positive effects are found, they do not persist. Among the hundreds of studies, only two show significant lasting effects (after 3 years), and the significance of these is questionable when reanalyzed (Foxcroft et al. 2003). The time is past for arguments on behalf of substituting education for other, more effective approaches. If educational approaches are to be used, they should be implemented within the framework of broader environmental interventions that address availability of alcohol.

Regulating Alcohol Promotion

Regulating alcohol promotion The marketing of alcohol is a global industry. Alcohol brands are advertised through television, radio, print, point-of-sale promotions, and the Internet. Exposure to repeated high-level alcohol promotion inculcates pro-drinking attitudes and increases the likelihood of heavier drinking. Alcohol advertising predisposes minors to drinking well before legal age of purchase. Advertising has been found to promote and reinforce perceptions of drinking as positive, glamorous, and relatively risk-free.

Regulating alcohol promotion Legislation restricting alcohol advertising A well-established precaution used by governments throughout the world, despite opposition from the alcoholic beverage industry. Findings suggest that while the restrictions have not achieved a major reduction in drinking and related harms in the short-term, countries with greater restrictions on advertising have less drinking and fewer alcohol-related problems (Saffer, 1991).

Regulating alcohol promotion Industry Self-regulation Codes Self-regulation tends to be fragile and largely ineffective. These codes may work best where the media, advertising, and alcohol industries are all involved, and an independent body has powers to approve or veto advertisements, rule on complaints, and impose sanctions. Few countries currently have all these components.

Treatment and Early Intervention

Melhores Práticas Idade mínima para a compra de álcool Monopólio governamental para a venda de álcool Restrições de horário para a venda de álcool Restrições a densidade de bares Taxação álcool Sobriety check points Diminuir BAC limits Suspenção administrativa de cartas de motorista Intervenção Breve

Piores Práticas Código voluntário de prática em bares Promover atividades sem álcool Educação sobre álcool nas escolas Educação nas universidades Propaganda contra o álcool Warning labels Motorista alternativo ou taxi para alcoolizados

Evolving Views of Alcohol Policy: Optimism Opportunities for effective, evidence-based alcohol policies are more available than ever to better serve the public good. Alcohol policies that limit access to alcoholic beverages, increase the price of alcohol, and enforce laws and regulations through deterrence, are likely to reduce the harm linked to specific drinking patterns and per capita consumption. Alcohol problems can be minimized or prevented using a coordinated, systematic policy response.

CONCLUSIONS The difference between good and bad alcohol policy is not an abstraction, but very often a matter of life and death. Research has the capacity to indicate which strategies are likely to succeed in their public health intentions, and which are likely to be less effective or even useless, diversionary, and a waste of resources. Opportunities for evidence-based alcohol policies that better serve the public good are more available than ever. There are still too many instances of policy vacuums filled by unevaluated or ineffective strategies and interventions. Because alcohol is no ordinary commodity, the public has a right to expect a more enlightened, evidence-based approach to alcohol policy.
