Lawmakers have developed, enacted, and applied a variety of policy strategies that target society- and community-level influences to reduce underage drinking and its associated consequences. This webinar will highlight two evidence-based policies: 

• Restrictions at community events designed to reduce commercial availability of alcohol to underage youth
• Restrictions on advertising aimed reducing youth exposure to pro-alcohol messages
