Public policies that affect alcohol consumption and related behaviors can influence a range of health and social outcomes. Advances in scientific research on the effects of various alcohol-related policies depend on well measured indicators of these policies. Research in this important area has been constrained by limitations on the availability and quality of policy information. Initiatives to provide reliable information on public policies relating to alcohol must contend with the extraordinary complexity of alcohol policy in the United States. Laws, regulations, and jurisprudence address myriad aspects of alcoholic beverage production, packaging, transportation, marketing, taxation, sales, and consumption, as well as the financing and delivery of alcohol related treatment and preventive services. Many of these policies are established by governments at all levels (Federal, State, county, and municipal). The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) developed the Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS) to provide authoritative, detailed, and comparable information on alcohol-related public policies in the United States at both the State and Federal levels. The APIS website (http://alcoholpolicy.niaaa.nih.gov) is an online resource that provides public access to this detailed information on a wide variety of alcohol-related public policies. APIS features compilations and analyses of alcohol-related statutes and regulations. APIS is designed to simplify the process of ascertaining the state of the law for studies on the effects and effectiveness of alcohol-related policies. APIS currently provides information on 36 specific policy topics, including summary descriptions, maps, detailed comparison tables, and the specific dates on which provisions became or ceased to be effective. APIS is intended to be of primary use to researchers seeking to study the effects and/or effectiveness of alcohol-related public policies, either singly or in combination. In keeping with the project goal of supporting and encouraging such research, information delivered through the APIS web site aims to facilitate reliable and valid comparisons of policy status both across jurisdictions and overtime. The APIS project contributes to the mission of the NIAAA by providing data that support research to: (1) assess the effects of alcohol-related policies, both individually and in combination, on a wide variety of important health, social, and economic outcomes; and (2) identify and evaluate factors that enhance or inhibit the effectiveness of these policies.

影响酒精消费和相关行为的公共政策可以影响一系列健康和社会结果。关于各种与酒精有关的政策的影响的科学研究的进展取决于这些政策的良好衡量指标。在这一重要领域的研究一直受到政策信息的可用性和质量方面的限制。提供有关酒精的公共政策的可靠信息的举措必须与美国酒精政策的异常复杂性相抗衡。法律、法规和判例涉及酒精饮料生产、包装、运输、营销、税收、销售和消费的各个方面，以及酒精相关治疗和预防服务的融资和提供。其中许多政策是由各级政府（联邦、州、县和市）制定的。国家酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所（NIAAA）开发了酒精政策信息系统（APIS），以提供美国州和联邦两级与酒精有关的公共政策的权威、详细和可比信息。APIS网站（http：alcoholpolicy.niaaa.nih.gov）是一个在线资源，向公众提供关于各种与酒精有关的公共政策的详细信息。APIS的特点是汇编和分析与酒精有关的法规和条例。APIS旨在简化确定法律状况的过程，以研究酒精相关政策的影响和有效性。APIS目前提供关于36个具体政策主题的信息，包括简要说明、地图、详细比较表以及条款生效或终止生效的具体日期。APIS的目的是主要用于研究人员寻求研究酒精相关的公共政策的影响和/或有效性，无论是单独或组合。根据支持和鼓励这种研究的项目目标，通过APIS网站提供的信息旨在促进对不同管辖区和不同时间的保单状况进行可靠和有效的比较。 APIS项目通过提供支持研究的数据来促进NIAAA的使命：（1）评估酒精相关政策的影响，无论是单独还是组合，对各种重要的健康，社会和经济结果;（2）识别和评估增强或抑制这些政策有效性的因素。
