MCRUD Agreement |
Please Read!
MCRUD is the Michigan Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking. The Michigan Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking exists to reduce underage drinking and prevent other alcohol related problems. MCRUD achieves their mission by advocating for public health policy, establishing relationships with policymakers, educating the public, supporting local coalitions by providing education, information, skills and strategies. Any work done at a larger level, state-wide or nationally, is done to support local grassroots efforts.
To fulfill our mission, MCRUD uses various approaches which are appropriate based on the community’s make-up and needs. We do not have a one-size-fits-all-communities approach or a specific "program" which we use everywhere. However, as a member of MCRUD, it is essential that the ideas and strategies utilized to reduce excessive and underage drinking are based on sound public health and evidence-based research.
The Community Guide is a collection of evidence-based findings gathered by the Community Preventive Services Task Force. It is an intervention based resource to help State, local, and community organizations select evidence-based methods to improve health and prevent disease. Below is a list of recommended interventions to reduce excessive alcohol consumption from the Community Guide.
1. Electronic Screening and Brief Interventions
2. Recommended Against the Privatization of Retail Alcohol Sales
3. Dram Shop Liability
4. Maintaining Limits on Days of Sales
5. Maintaining Limits on Hours of Sales
6. Increasing Alcohol Taxes
7. Regulation of Alcohol Outlet Density
8. Enhanced Enforcement of Laws Prohibiting Sales to Minors
Additional resources include: The World Health Organization’s Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health (2018), The US Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health (2016), and Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity: Research and Public Policy, 3rd Edition (2023).
The MCRUD Agreement is a statement of the Michigan Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking outlining the measures we believe must be undertaken to address this problem. Persons and organizations, who affiliate with MCRUD, share this point of view and are committed to carrying out the suggested strategies to the extent they can.
