Community Action on Alcohol is an evidence based, public health approach to reducing alcohol harms. It requires community leadership and locally based action and is underpinned by community development principles.

Community Action on Alcohol was initiated as a pilot project in 2015 and has now been initiated in 19 communities across Ireland. Eleven additional area action plans have been published and launched in 2017.
