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，总理陆克文称其已达到“流行病的程度”。年轻人受到酒精相关伤害的风险最大，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和他们对危害最小化的理解，以及大学和州卫生当局提供的政策和措施，拟议的项目将为制定新的危害最小化战略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.
