Résumé : | Policy approaches to prevention have considerable promise for addressing underage drinking and its associated problems. Based on the available evidence, the most effective policies appear to be (a) taxation or price increases, (b) increases in the minimum drinking age, and (c) graduated licensing or zero tolerance. Random breath testing and sobriety checkpoints also appear promising, although there is little evidence for their effectiveness specifically with young people. Major changes in the conditions of sale (e.g., privatization) may also affect the availability of alcohol to young people and thus underage drinking. The evidence is less convincing, however, for the effects of more modest license restrictions (e.g., limiting outlet density, hours of sale), responsible beverage service, advertising restricions, warning labels, keg registration, and school policies. It is clear from the available research that no policy can be effective unless it is accompanied by enforcement and by awareness on the part of the intended targets of both the policy and the enforcement efforts. |
