Resumen

The current report compares Canadian provinces across three policy/program dimensions demonstrated to reduce alcohol-related problems among 15-24-year-olds. The dimensions, Legal Drinking Age, Server and Manager Training/Challenge and Refusal Programs, and Drinking and Driving, were assessed using specified indicators with provincial scores reflecting the percentage of the ideal attained. National means for each dimension were also calculated. Legal Drinking Age attained the highest national mean at 75% of the ideal; Server and Manager Training/Challenge and Refusal Programs achieved 61%; Drinking and Driving achieved 34% of the ideal. Results specify how provinces can increase prevention impact through evidence-based policy and program measures.
