10 Collect and Analyze Data about Policies & Practices Use the CDC Prevention Status Reports to learn the status of Community Guide strategies for preventing excessive alcohol use in your state Conduct an environmental scan to identify any additional alcohol-related laws in your area

11 Collect and Analyze Data about Policies & Practices Use cancer registry data to examine incidence and death rates for alcohol-related cancers in your state, including cancers of the breast, liver, colon, rectum, mouth, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus Monitor changes in these indicators over time

12 Collect and Analyze Data about Policies & Practices Use these CDC websites for statistics on excessive alcohol use in your state and compare them to national statistics CDC Chronic Disease Indicators website: CDC s Prevention Status Report: BRRSS Prevalence and Trends Data: YRBS Youth Online: Monitor changes in these indicators over time Consider developing a special survey to examine a topic specific to your prevention efforts

13 Identify and Engage with Potential Partners Educate cancer coalition members on the public health impact of excessive alcohol use and related harms, particularly alcohol-related cancer rates, in your area Identify potential partners at local and national levels and ask them to help you educate key stakeholders on cancer risks linked with alcohol use and strategies to reduce excessive alcohol use Collect information about alcohol use and alcohol-related cancer rates that you can give to partners and stakeholders

14 Identify and Engage with Potential Partners cont Disseminate guidance that is evidence-based and reflects the most current science available Survey key partners to identify their needs and what resources they can add to your efforts Ensure that health promotion activities throughout the state are congruent with and supportive of alcohol control

23 Outline 1. Public health impact of excessive alcohol use 2. Cancer risk associated with alcohol use 3. Alcohol use among adults and youth 4. Summary of Alcohol Control Efforts in Comprehensive Cancer Control Plans and Alcohol Use Among Adults in the USA 5. What works to reduce excessive alcohol use

24 Focus on reducing cancer risk I want to reduce my risk for cancer. What can I do? Well, did you know that scientists say reducing your alcohol use could reduce your risk for cancer?

25 Focus on reducing alcohol use I m concerned about your alcohol use. Did you know that alcohol is a risk factor for cancer? Really? That s another good reason to drink less.

51 WHAT WORKS TO REDUCE EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL USE

52 Community and Clinical Strategies Work Together to Reduce Excessive Alcohol Use Community Preventive Services Task Force U.S. Preventive Services Task Force National Prevention Strategy World Health Organization

53 Community Guide Recommendations for Preventing Excessive Drinking, Increase alcohol taxes Regulate alcohol outlet density Dram shop (commercial host) liability Avoid further privatization of alcohol sales Maintain limits on days of sale Maintain limits on hours of sale Enhance enforcement of laws prohibiting alcohol sales to minors Electronic screening and brief intervention (e-sbi) Source:

54 Community Guide Recommendation Increase Alcohol Taxes Federal, state or local level Different for each beverage type (beer, wine, distilled spirits) Strong and consistent evidence of intervention effectiveness Increasing price by 10% would reduce overall alcohol consumption by about 7% Tax increases are efficiently reflected in the retail price Impact is proportional to the size of the tax increase Source:

55 Community Guide Recommendation Regulate Alcohol Outlet Density Alcohol outlet density is the number and concentration of places that sell alcohol, such as bars, restaurants, and liquor stores, in an area City, county or state governments can regulate alcohol outlet density through licensing or zoning processes The higher the alcohol outlet density, the higher the harms related to alcohol use Source:

56 Community Guide Recommendation Commercial Host ( Dram Shop ) Liability Laws Laws that hold alcohol retail establishments liable (at fault) for injuries or harms caused by illegal sales or service to intoxicated or underage (<21 years) customers Most states have dram shop liability laws although they vary in scope and evidence required Areas with dram shop liability laws have reduced alcoholrelated harms (such as motor vehicle deaths) Source:

57 US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Recommendation Related to Excessive Alcohol Use Screening and Brief Intervention Health care providers (eg, doctors, nurses, PAs) Source:

58 Screening and Brief Intervention Provided through Electronic Devices (e-sbi) Source:

59 Cancer: What s Alcohol Got to Do With It? Conclusions Alcohol use is a common cancer risk factor Community and clinical strategies can reduce excessive alcohol use Community programs can identify and engage with partners to promote awareness of the cancer risk associated with alcohol use support widespread implementation of evidence-based strategies to reduce excessive alcohol use

69 Model Appropriate Messaging There is new science that shows Alcohol is a Carcinogen and contains 15 carcinogenic compounds, including ethanol. Do you know of anyone that should cut down their alcohol use? Most people do not drink, or rarely drink alcohol. Here are some good ideas if you want to improve your health in small ways every day. I am asking about alcohol use, because I know you want good health as you age. Most people don t know that using alcohol raises cancer risk. Would you help me share that news with your friends and family? 69
