Statement Regarding CDC-MMWR Study on Point-of-Purchase Alcohol Marketing

By David Jernigan, Ph.D., research director, Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Georgetown University

Washington, DC - That so many convenience and grocery stores had high intensity point of purchase alcohol marketing, in many cases placed at or below the eye level of a six year old, points to the need for stronger protections for our nation's youth from alcohol marketing. The Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth's newest report, State Alcohol Advertising Laws: Current Status and Model Policies, lays out the steps some states have already taken to safeguard children from point of purchase marketing, and provides a roadmap for public health advocates and state liquor control boards to follow in implementing the CDC's recommendations.
