where is the Evidence leading Us in Our Approach to Alcohol?
Edward P. Ehlinger, Director and Chief Health Officer
Boyton Health Service - University of Minnesota
Despite numerous legislative and programmatic efforts, alcohol contin-
ues to take a huge toll on the physical, mental, and economic health of
Minnesotans of all ages. Organizations and communities expend a great
deal of time and resources in efforts to reduce the excessive use of alcohol,
to prevent the negative consequences linked to alcohol, or to respond
to the damage caused to individuals and/or the community by the irre-
sponsible use of alcohol. Much research has been done on this issue and
many programs and interventions have been implemented with the hope
of curtailing this problem. However, the overall rate of high risk drinking
has remained at unacceptable levels. This session will review the data on
the major approaches that have been tried and critique why they may not
have had a significant impact on the overall high-risk drinking rates. With a
specific focus on the data highlighting the role that the price of alcohol, the
marketing of alcohol, and the linkage of alcohol and sports have in perpet-
uating the problems of alcohol in our society, this session will discuss the
potential of changing the way we frame the issue of excessive alcohol use
from being an issue of adolescents and young adults that needs commu-
nity attention to a societal issue that needs a community-wide approach of
which adolescents and young adults are a critical component.
