Program or Strategy Description

Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (CMCA) is a community-organizing intervention designed to reduce teens' access to alcohol by changing community policies and practices. CMCA seeks both to limit youths' access to alcohol and to communicate a clear message by the community that underage drinking is inappropriate and unacceptable. CMCA employs a specified process of community-organizing to address legal, institutional, and local cultural practices that facilitate underage drinking.
