Pre-conference seminars
PCS-1 Alcohol policy orientation
Those new to the alcohol field or who want a refresher course will learn or reinforce understanding of evidence-based strategies and the need for alcohol policy reform. This seminar includes the following topics: What is alcohol policy? Why is alcohol policy needed? How does alcohol policy differ in scope, method and foci from other interventions? What are recent developments at international and national levels and how have the emphases and dynamics of alcohol policy initiatives changed in recent decades? What is the current/recent evidence of impact of alcohol policies on drinking behavior, drinking-related risks and damage? What are the challenges and research gaps?
Norman Giesbrecht, PhD, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (moderator)

PCS-2 Alcohol problem avoidance in college environments
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 1,700 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries, including motor vehicle crashes. Nearly 600,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are unintentionally injured under the influence of alcohol, and more than 696,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking. Demonstration research suggests that comprehensive, community-based university intervention can reduce the frequency of intoxication and binge drinking. This session will address current research and field experiences leading to safer and healthier learning and living environments.
John Clapp, PhD, San Diego State University School of Social Work
Beth DeRicco, PhD, U.S. Department of Education’s Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention (co-moderator)
George Dowdall, PhD, St Joseph’s University
James Lange, PhD, San Diego State University
Robert Saltz, PhD, Prevention Research Center (co-moderator)
PCS-3 College and underage drinking
This seminar will explore the magnitude and prevention of college and underage drinking. Adolescent and young adult drinking will be examined from a developmental perspective. We will also examine interventions to reduce underage and college age drinking at multiple levels: individual, family, school, community, and environmental policy. We will discuss the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking, the STOP Act, the NIAAA Call to Action: Changing the Culture of Drinking at U.S. Colleges, and the update of that report.

PCS-4 Alcohol-fueled redevelopment - A cautionary tale
This session covers the emerging trend of the over-proliferation of alcohol outlets as an economic engine for redevelopment. Entertainment districts are rapidly becoming the new wave of development complete with housing, restaurants, nightclubs, and numerous alcohol outlets. Cities desperate for increased revenue and blight reduction appear willing to bypass true land use processes resulting in ”bundling” of multiple alcohol land-use permits while restricting a community’s ability to weigh-in on a case-by-case basis. The session explores one community’s struggle with “bundling” and discusses options for leveraging local power despite the significant influence wielded by developers and the retail alcoholic beverage industry.
