The complexity and importance of underage drinking prompted ERAB and ABMRF to
initiate a state of the art review. It explores the extent of underage
drinking across Europe and North America, as well as our current understanding
of factors that increase the risk of this behaviour and potentially effective
evidence-based approaches to prevent underage drinking. Unfortunately, the
problem is complex and a single solution or policy to prevent underage
drinking does not exist. Nevertheless, a number of strategies are effective in
some circumstances and warrant further study in different populations.
Preventing risky drinking requires understanding of the important influence of
family and peers. It is also important to recognize that some genetic traits
like impulsivity, anxiety, sensation seeking and emotional dysregulation can
also influence harmful drinking. These aspects (family and peers and genetic
influence) are affected by cultural and environmental influences which, in
turn, can influence each other. The overall goal of this project was to
develop a set of recommendations that could be used by public health
departments and key stakeholders in the individual countries that make up
Europe and the United States and Canada. It is clear that a single solution to
this problem cannot be identified, given the different cultural backgrounds.
In addition to providing a menu of effective strategies, recommendations on
the best method for applying them in different cultural settings are included.
Although individual interventions may have low efficacy when used in
isolation, combining several interventions may improve overall effectiveness.
