2. Universal/Prevention and Early Intervention
3. Targeted/Harm Reduction
4. Specialist Treatment
5. Treatment Exit and Transitions

The guidance was produced by gathering information from a select number of statutory bodies and practitioners across London, including first London Alcohol Practitioner's forum (event summary here). The JAG was established to support the delivery of the Regional Statement of Priorities [pdf], a framework for reducing alcohol related harm in the capital.
