Chronic Disease Indicators
The Chronic Disease Indicators is a comprehensive set of 97 public health measures intended to increase the quality and availability of surveillance data on chronic disease and health risk behaviors at the state and federal levels. Public health professionals can use these indicators to improve surveillance and help develop effective intervention programs. There are seven alcohol indicators: two for youth consumption, three for adult consumption, one for women in childbearing age, and one for mortality.

Specific recommendations for the prevention of excessive alcohol use include:
- Support state, tribal, local, and territorial implementation and enforcement of alcohol control policies.
- Create environments that empower young people not to drink or use other drugs.
- Identify alcohol and other drug abuse disorders early and provide brief intervention, referral and treatment.
The NPS also goes on further to recommend the implementation of evidence-based population-level interventions, particularly those that are recommended by the Guide to Community Preventive Services for preventing excessive alcohol use and related harms.
