Drinking can increase the risk of injury and death depending on the activity or situation in which the drinkers find themselves. As a result, strategies to prevent or reduce the risk of alcohol-related trauma are best directed at drinking patterns or at drinking settings that involve risk or harm. The review of potential prevention strategies in this chapter identifies alternatives that have actually been implemented to reduce alcohol problems, whether they have been evaluated or not, and the available research evidence concerning the potential effectiveness of each strategy.
