Title: New -- ATOD Section Issues and Advocacy Committee

Author:

Section/SPIG: Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs

Issue Date:

The aims of this new committee are to monitor and share information about emerging trends and identify priority policy issues related to the ATOD field. In addition, the Committee will, when feasible, work with other Section members with expertise in a given area to develop mini-analyses of policy issues and/or recommendations that will be forwarded to the APHA policy leadership regarding APHA advocacy for or against specific ATOD-related policies. The Committee will also try to identify Section members with appropriate expertise to respond to queries received from APHA staff about ATOD policy issues. The Committee will also identify opportunities to affect APHA policy through the introduction of resolutions and/or motions related to ATOD issues.
