Abstract
[FOREWORD]. Monitoring progress is a key component whenever planning and committing to implement health strategies, as it can help guide needed improvements and identify and respond to gaps in the public health response. Thus, in any given society, it becomes a mechanism for accountability to governments and other stakeholders involved. This report describes the construction of a series of composite indicators developed for evaluating the level of implementation of the ten policy areas of the WHO Global strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol adopted in 2010 at the World Health Assembly (WHA)—and furthermore adopted in 2011 by all Member States in the Region of the Americas (hereafter referred to as “the Region” or simply “the Americas”) through the Regional plan of action of the Pan American Health Organization, Regional Office of the World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO).
 
[PREFACIO]. El seguimiento del progreso es un componente clave de la planificación y del compromiso de poner en práctica estrategias de salud, ya que puede ayudar a orientar las mejoras necesarias y detectar y responder a las brechas presentes en la respuesta de salud pública, convirtiéndose así en un mecanismo de rendición de cuentas para los gobiernos y otros interesados directos de cualquier sociedad. En el presente informe se describe la elaboración de una serie de indicadores compuestos para evaluar el nivel de ejecución de las diez áreas de política de la Estrategia mundial para reducir el uso nocivo del alcohol de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), adoptada en el 2010 por la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud (AMS), y posteriormente en el 2011 por todos los Estados Miembros de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud, Oficina Regional de la Organización Mundial de la Salud para la Región de las Américas (OPS/OMS) con la aprobación del Plan de acción regional.
