Black, Latino, and Native American organizations form a consortium to address alcohol-related harm in the U.S.
“The Black Church has always been at the forefront of important social issues that impact people of African heritage. Alcohol misuse is a fundamental problem that requires sustainable collaboration and immediate action. NBCI is proud to be a member of the MCRD to help stamp out this problem in communities of color and create new strategies to impart this difficult problem.”
“I am thankful for the collaboration with Diageo within our communities of color, especially with the company’s educational platforms, to help raise public awareness and prevent misuse.”
“We welcome the opportunity to be a part of the MCRD and use Latino platforms to educate the Latino community about responsible drinking.”
“Essentially, every culture shares the joy of music, food, and celebrating responsibly with families and loved ones. As a Latino, I have seen our communities struggle throughout the COVID19 pandemic with mental health challenges and substance misuse. ‘Now’ is always the best time to take action, and NHIT is deeply honored to help launch this consortium. We hope the NHIT Data Fusion Center will provide the foundation for the consortium’s data-driven approach. Through the data, we seek to understand the social circumstances of our communities better and use that knowledge to guide our educational content and outreach strategies. At the same time, we work purposefully and collaboratively toward meaningful change.”
“Providing educational tools and information about alcohol will help communities make informed decisions and prevent misuse. We are honored to join forces with such distinguished leaders representing diverse communities to reach even more people.”
