Mission and Vision |
The United States is experiencing a trend towards increased alcohol affordability, accessibility and marketing. There is growing pressure toward deregulation so that alcohol can be marketing like any other consumer product, with few restrictions. Alcohol is no ordinary commodity. The push toward deregulation of alcohol is a national trend and is meant to increase profits at the expense of public health. |
Our vision is a Hawai‘i free of alcohol-related injuries, disease, and death. Our mission is to educate the community and advocate for evidence- based, responsible alcohol policies to reduce youth use, and reduce alcohol-related harms in our communities. |
The Hawai‘i Alcohol Policy Alliance is a fiscally managed by the Hawaii Public Health Institute.
