Best Practice Policy Leaders (Provincial/Territorial) The Canadian Alcohol Policy Evaluation (CAPE) 3.0 identified many examples of strong alcohol policies currently in place across Canada. Analysis determined what score could be achieved by any province/territory if they were to implement all the existing best or near best practice policies. The instances in which either full points or highest points were achieved by any Canadian province/territory were identified and the result was an overall ‘best existing policies’ score of 80.4% (A-). This score highlights the feasibility of a greatly improved Canada-wide response to alcohol harm.
This resource offers a tool for policymakers seeking to improve policies in their own jurisdictions to identify provinces/territories that have implemented specific alcohol policies. The 11 CAPE policy domains form part of a comprehensive and synergistic approach to preventing and reducing different types of alcohol harms; all the domains are necessary to create a health-focused alcohol policy environment.
