Abstract: Public administration, politics, and science in the alcohol prevention of the Swiss member states Objetives:The article assesses the effects that different constellations of science, administration, and the political sphere have on the policy design and the output performance in the field of alcohol prevention policy. Method:Comparative bivariate analysis of results from a written survey of the Swiss cantons. Results:A broad and adequate policy design is found in cantons with an alcohol prevention policy dominated by administrative actors. Output performance shows to be comparatively higher in cantons with a high influence either of scientific actors or of political actors. Conclusion:In an overall comparison focusing on the two dependent variables of this study, a combined model of administrative dominance with strong affiliation to the scientific community prevails against the other models considered.
