Abstract
Objective: To estimate concern/ support for policy for underage drinkers and formulate policy-specific communication strategies. Methods: An environmentally based approach to policy formulation used concepts from the transtheoretical, decision-balance, and social-norms models. Interviews were conducted with community stakeholders, and surveys were collected on community residents as part of the evaluation effort. Results: The triangulated evaluation revealed specific policies for underage drinking and techniques for facilitating policy implementation. Conclusion: The results demonstrate techniques for using multiple models and evaluation techniques for formulating public policy in the promotion of community health.
