Objective:
To estimate concern/support for policy for underage drinkers and formulate policy-specific communication strategies.
Methods:
An environmentally based approach to policy formulation used concepts from the transtheoretical, decision-balance, and social-norms models. Interviews were conducted with community stakeholders, and surveys were collected on community residents as part of the evaluation effort.
Results:
The triangulated evaluation revealed specific policies for underage drinking and techniques for facilitating policy implementation.
Conclusion:
The results demonstrate techniques for using multiple models and evaluation techniques for formulating public policy in the promotion of community health.
