  10. How Sam Sees It

  11. How Sam Sees It • What is the social or community norm? • How does Sam’s community’s norm affect the alcohol advertising policy? • How does Sam’s community’s norm affect access and availability and the environment that Sam lives in? • What policies, rules, regulations, laws are or could be implemented? • How could a community inform the public about their alcohol advertising policy? • How might policies be enforced? • What might some of the barriers be to implementing alcohol advertising policies/regulations/rules? • What would a community need to overcome these barriers?

  12. Coalitions: The Structure For Environmental Strategies

  13. What Is A Coalition? • A community coalition is defined as a group of stakeholders who represent diverse organizations, constituencies, and community members who agree to work together to achieve a common goal to reduce alcohol use and abuse, other substance abuse and problem gambling behaviors.

  14. Coalition Capacity Representatives from diverse populations within communities must be involved as soon as possible to avoid miscommunication or perceptions that “outsiders” want to change their community norms, policies etc. Remember to involve formal and informal leaders.

  15. Who Do We Invite To The Table? THE 12 SECTORS YOUTH-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS BUSINESS COMMUNITY YOUTH FAITH BASED COMMUNITY PARENTS CIVIC AND VOLUNTEER GROUPS MEDIA HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS SCHOOLS LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROVIDERS LAW ENFORCEMENT

  16. Why Does It Matter? WHO IS DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THE PROBLEM? WHO ELSE CARES ENOUGH TO WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM? WHO BENEFITS IF THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED? WHAT INDIVIDUAL OR GROUPS CAN RESOLVE THE PROBLEM?

  17. Where Do We Begin? Assessment: Collect Data To Define Problem. Capacity: Mobilize Within A Geographic Area To Address Needs. Planning: Create A Logic Model. - Tell Your Story/Map Out The Plan Implementation: Implement Your Evidence-Based Strategy, Policies, and Practices. Evaluation: Measure The Impact Of Your Strategies, Policies, and Practices.

  18. There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.
