health agencies and advocates; retailers and their
associations; distributors and producers; and researchers—in
order to (1) identify and promulgate Best Practices
to prevent underage sales of age-restricted products;
and (2) examine the impacts of RR policies from the
diverse perspectives of these different stakeholders.

| RR
Forum Develops New Responsible Retailing Model |
|
In
2001, a team of national experts produced a federal
guidance document, Report on Best Practices for Responsible
Retailing, reflecting the experiences and insights of
retailers, alcohol control boards and other state regulatory
and enforcement agencies ("R-E agencies"),
state attorneys general, and academic researchers. The
Best Practices identified in that report have been further
developed by the Responsible Retailing Forum into an
"Integrated Responsible Retailing" model.
