Welcome to Science Clips, CDC's weekly digest!

This Supplement to ScienceClips features two reviews recently released by The Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide), which assess the effectiveness of limiting the days and hours of alcohol sales for preventing excessive alcohol consumption and related harms. The Task Force on Community Preventive Services -- an independent, nonfederal, volunteer body of public health and prevention experts appointed by the CDC Director -- releases findings and recommendations based on systematic reviews of scientific literature conducted under the auspices of the Community Guide. CDC provides ongoing scientific, administrative and technical support for the Task Force.
