Project Description

A series of linked studies was initiated in January 1989. The aims of the research are to: (i) develop reliable indicators of alcohol related harm at the level of the individual premises; (ii) identify the characteristics of both high and low risk drinking environments; (iii) assess public support for various prevention strategies which have shown promise elsewhere; (iv) disseminate these findings with a view to stimulating an appraisal of the options available to trade associations, licensing authorities, police and health officials for responding to the problem; and (v) evaluate the effectiveness of any systematic change in policy or practice which is intended to have significant impact upon licensed drinking settings in Perth.
