Abstract

The Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (CMCA) project was a community-organizing effort to reduce underage alcohol use and resulting problems, such as traffic crashes, using a theory-based process of community activation. Objectives of this randomized community trial include: (1) reducing the availability of alcohol to youth under age 21 (the legal age for drinking in the United States), (2) reducing alcohol consumption among youth, and (3) reducing injury and other health and social problems associated with alcohol use among young people. Reductions in underage drinking would result from changes in community- and institutional-level policies and practices, with consequent reductions in injury morbidity and other social and health problems associated with underage drinking.
