TIP SHEET: Understanding Alcohol Use Disorder📝

During this Alcohol Awareness Month, we're working to help journalists better understand alcohol use and misuse. When journalists understand key aspects of alcohol use—prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery—they can report on alcohol issues more accurately and empathetically. This informed reporting directly benefits communities by helping to:

• Reduce the stigma associated with alcohol use disorder.
• Make the public more aware of available help and support services.
• Foster more productive community discussions and effective policies regarding alcohol.
• Ultimately improve overall community health and well-being.
