PREVENTION OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND OTHER DRUG USE PROBLEMS - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY L Alccbhol,tobacco and other d=ug use causes scrious health,social,financiai and legal problems W residents aad citiuns of Minnesota. In 1991,the total estimated c�t of al,cohol use xn Minnesaa totaled ova$1.7 billion or appmximateiy$400 for every Minnesota residenL Alcohol and other drug use has been clearly showa w be relat�ed�a wide range of other problems including vioience,crime, a�idents,high risk sexual behavior,and suicide.' II. Sincc tl�e lat�e 1970�s,Minnesora has demonstrated signifrcant lea�de�hig in and a.ttention to prevention effo�ts. The r�ults have b�a encouraging. 1'hese efforts m isolation can not be pravea to ha.ve had a direct impa+ct on aicohol,toba,cco and ather drug use prablems. H�awever,in aggregate,these efforts are Iikely w have had a positive and significant effect on individuals and : commamties throughout 1Vlinncsota. IIL As advc�cares for prevention,we are pleased to note the downward trends. Yet,we are not satisfied � wit�the Ievels of continwng problems r��ated to alcohol,tobacco aud other dtug use. We are deeply concerned that recent nationai data iadic�te a tread toward higher ra�tes of use at the same time prevention program fund'uig is being reduced. Thezefore,we srrongiy encourage legislative initiadves to ac3�equa.tceiy and consisr,endy fund pnwention programs likely w reduce use of alcohol,tobacco and other drugs,the probl�ms caused by these substances aad the r�suiting costs to society. We srronglY suPP�P�'°�S�� thearetically sonad,rhoughtfully inzplement�ed,and carefuliy evaluateci to ensure optimal outcAmes aad impact. In addition,we recognize the need for accountahility for pr+ofessionais, _ �� Pragxams and commnnitie.s ia ocder w a�chieve measurable outcou�es aad optimal cast savings. Specifically,we support ena{cm�ent of legistation that meezs the following principles: � 1) Prevenrion e�`'ons are most like�to be e,�`ective when they focus on the comrnuniry as well _ as individual. Thez�efore we suppcnt initiatives to: A) Redn�ce underage a�ccess to alcohol and t,obacco B) Consistentty enforce existing laws related to alcohol,tobac,co and other drugs � C� Establish ciear nor�ms and standazds about atcahol,tobacco and other drug use D) Restcict adveitisin�of�alcohol and tobacco praducts targcted tro youth - �} Inc=ea.�e ezcise taxes on alcrot�l and tobacco gnoducts �� F} Establish aac3lor maintaia c�u�munity based prevention efforts that reflect the unique needs,interests,concems aad ethnicicultzn aI composition of each community � 2) Prevenrion e�orts which help individuals and families develop ssrengths and skills hold � pronrise to reduce problems. Zherefore wc support initiatives to: A) Promote and enhance the knowledge and sldlls of children and youth in order ta prevent the use of alcohol,toba�cco or other diugs � . . B) Incrtase the eapa�city of.fazniIies to make heatthy and producdve choices C� Prevent and reduce prenatal,youth and adult exposure to the harmful effects of alcohol; tobacco and other drug use by reducing exposure to second hand smoke and promotmg � chemic�free.Pregnancies 3). Prevention e,�Q`ons are more likely to be e,Q`ecrive when based on meaningful and on-going evaluation 'resulrs. Therefc�me we support initiatives w: A) Evaluate prevention progranls to better understand their pi�ocess,outcomes and impact B) Determine cost/benefit ratio of specific prevention strategies � Frevention initiatives which are community based and funded over long pe�iod.s of time are more likely�o enable coardination of efforts and azaximize potential effects of those efforts on both improvement of heaith and reduction of costs associated with alcohol,tobacco and other c�rugs.
