| FAQ CADCA's Policy Change Toolbox Background CADCA’s Policy Change Toolbox was developed as a new public policy tool to provide coalitions with a catalog of environmental policy changes implemented at the local level by community anti-drug coalitions from all over the United States. It supplies the user with a directory of unique and specific local ordinances, policies, and regulations that community anti-drug coalitions have worked to enact, and a description of the steps taken by coalitions to make these changes occur. After traveling around the country, it has become apparent that local coalition leaders are the experts when it comes to making local policy changes. As a result, CADCA has drawn upon the collective expertise of its members to provide the field with CADCA’s Policy Change Toolbox. This resource enables coalitions to see how and why other community coalitions throughout the country have passed laws and ordinances to effect community change. Whether your coalition is well-established or just forming, CADCA’s Policy Change Toolbox can be used to see what other coalitions have done in their local public policy arenas. Links to Other Resources While CADCA’s Policy Change Toolbox provides users with a wealth of information pertaining to local policy changes, many changes also occur at the State level. Therefore, when considering which policy changes will have the biggest impact on your community, it is important to look at the laws and regulations that have been implemented at the state level as well. The National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws (NAMSDL) is a comprehensive resource for accessing model state drug laws. Similarly, the Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS) provides detailed information on a wide variety of alcohol-related laws at both the State and Federal levels. APIS features compilations and comprehensive analyses of alcohol-related statutes and regulations. Both NAMSDL and APIS are excellent research tools for model state drug and alcohol laws. CADCA looks forward to supplying community anti-drug coalitions with a coalition-driven directory of local level policy change, and hopes that this will assist coalitions in their efforts to successfully achieve policy change.
