NCT ID NCT03262259
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a community program in six cities (compared to six similar cities) that combines doctor screenings, public awareness, and stricter law enforcement to reduce binge drinking, underage drinking, and alcohol-related crashes. Over 36,000 people aged 12 and older will be surveyed. The goal is to see if these combined efforts actually lower alcohol-related harms.
