A Place of Last Drink Initiative
BACKGROUND: Place of last drink (POLD) is a law enforcement strategy designed to decrease the service of alcohol to intoxicated patrons (i.e., overservice). When officers respond to an alcohol-related incident, they inquire about and record the place where the involved individuals last drank alcohol; this information can help identify licensed alcohol establishments that show a pattern of overserving alcohol. We evaluated the effects of a POLD in…
Assessing the implementation of place of last drink (Pold)
Background Place of Last Drink (POLD) is a strategy used by some law enforcement agencies to identify bars and restaurants that overserve patrons. When responding to an alcohol-related incident, ideally officers systematically record the last drinking location of the individuals involved and follow up with locations that are frequently named as a source of last drink. The likely success of this strategy, as with many strategies, is dependent on h…
Does a Place of Last Drink (Pold) Initiative Affect Alcohol Serving Staff Attitudes and Perceptions Related to Overservice of Alcohol
Background: One enforcement strategy used to address illegal sales of alcohol to intoxicated patrons (i.e., overservice) is Place of Last Drink (POLD). When law enforcement responds to an alcohol-related incident, they ask persons involved in the incident where they had their last drink; POLD data can then be used to track patterns of overservice.Methods: We evaluated potential effects of a POLD initiative in one state (USA) on the attitudes and …
Exploiting motherhood
Even as women's roles have expanded substantially beyond traditional sex stereotypes, women are still commonly portrayed as uncomplaining caregivers, long‐suffering intimate partners and in control of family matters, all while maintaining a sexualised femininity. Nowhere are these stereotypes and expectations more apparent than for mothers. However, some social media are exploiting mothers by inappropriately offering alcohol consumption as a solu…
Restricting Sales of Menthol Tobacco Products
Purpose: Commercial tobacco products have historically been target marketed to African American, Latinx, Asian American Pacific Islander, Indigenous, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) communities, as well as to youth. Menthol cigarettes increase smoking initiation and decrease smoking cessation, particularly among African Americans who smoke menthol cigarettes at higher rates than their white peers. Due to disproportionate to…
Promoting Resilience During Adolescence
Difficult social circumstances contribute to numerous problems among Latino youth, which can include risky behaviors, school disengagement, health disparities, and relatively high rates of unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS. To promote health and healthy development in spite of exposure to substantial social challenge, it is important to identify factors that contribute to resilience among Latino youth. We examine f…
In a Good Way
Funders continue to be challenged by how to best promote work in American Indian communities that builds health equity, addresses community context, and reduces the disproportionate impact of commercial tobacco. In particular, public health programs that address substance abuse and tobacco control promote the use of evidence-based practices that tend to emphasize a one-size-fits-all approach and that are rarely researched among American Indian po…
The Wiidookowishin Program
Commercial tobacco use rates remain disproportionately high among American Indians (AIs). Tailored cessation programs such as the Wiidookowishin (Help Me) program implemented at the Fond du Lac Reservation in Minnesota have demonstrated that such programs can be successful and achieve quit rates similar to mainstream programs. This paper presents findings from a qualitative process evaluation of the Wiidookowishin program and discusses elements t…

Community Organizing to Prevent Youth Drug Use and Violence
Multiple studies have demonstrated that community organizing is an effective method to influence public health problems. Documenting and describing the community organizing process is critical for understanding and dissemination. The D.A.R.E. Plus Project is a multi-component, community-wide intervention to reduce drug use and violent behaviors among adolescents using classroom, family, and community organizing intervention strategies. This paper…
Can neighborhood associations be allies in health policy efforts? Political activity among neighborhood associations
We examined organizational characteristics and types of political actions of neighborhood associations, and factors influencing the amount of political activity among the associations. We hypothesized that four neighborhood characteristics (population size, income, educational level, and percentage of owner‐occupied households) and six organizational characteristics (budget, number of staff, size of board, newsletter publication, coalition involv…
