Alcohol use and harm minimisation among Australian university students

与酒精有关的危害每年给澳大利亚人造成超过153亿美元的损失，2008年，澳大利亚总理陆克文（Kevin Rudd）将其描述为“流行病比例”。年轻人是酒精相关损害的最大风险，大学生是最严重的饮酒者之一，高达70%的人酗酒。通过研究大学生饮酒行为的社会动态及其对危害最小化的理解，以及大学和国家卫生当局提供的政策和措施，拟议的项目将为开发新的战略危害最小化干预措施提供新的证据基础和创新的理论方法。

Alcohol-related harms cost Australians over $15.3 billion per year, and in 2008 were described by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd as having reached 'epidemic proportions'. Young people are at greatest risk of alcohol-related damage and university students are among the heaviest drinkers, with up to 70% engaging in binge drinking. By examining the social dynamics of university students' drinking practices and their understanding of harm minimisation, together with the policies and measures offered by colleges and State health authorities, the proposed project will yield a new evidence base and innovative theoretical approach for developing fresh strategic harm minimisation interventions.
