The National Alcohol Indicators Project (NAIP) is a nationally coordinated project aimed at tracking and reporting on trends in alcohol-related harm in Australia at national, state and local levels. One of the main objectives of the project is to develop a set of indicators for the continual monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of state and national alcohol policies. This webinar will focus on trends in alcohol-related hospitalisations and deaths in Australia.
This webinar will be facilitated by Professor Tanya Chikritzhs, the principal investigator of NAIP. Dr William Gilmore will provide a tour of www.alcoholharmtool.info - an instant, interactive data visualisation tool to identify trends and patterns in alcohol-attributable deaths and hospitalisations in Australia. Associate Professor Michael Livingston's presentation will examine recent trends in alcohol-related liver disease in Australia, unpacking how rates of deaths and hospital admissions have been influenced by cohort specific patterns of drinking as well as broader social changes. Dr Nic Taylor will discuss how NAIP has been used to evaluate the the Northern Territory's alcohol floor price (Minimum Unit Price).
