Résumé :
The objectives of our study were to learn whether malt liquor is a problem for cities, how many cities have passed policies to restrict sales, what factors distinguish cities with policies from cities without policies, and whether policies are perceived to be effective. One alcohol policy official and one enforcement officer from each of the 115 largest American cities were solicited to participate in a telephone survey. Most respondents (65%) said malt liquor was a serious problem. Thirty cities adopted policies to restrict malt liquor sales. The odds of having a policy were higher if city leaders placed greater priority on addressing malt liquor-related problems (OR = 2.6) or had greater local authority over alcohol control (OR = 3.5). Respondents (54%) said the policies were effective in reducing malt liquor sales. Policies to restrict malt liquor sales offer a promising strategy to reduce problems associated with street drinking.
