Can parents teach their children to drink alcohol responsibly? Or, is one drop a drop too many?

父母通常会给孩子提供酒精，认为这是教育孩子负责任饮酒的最佳方式。父母是否应该提供酒精是有争议的，为这一决定提供依据的证据尚不清楚。这项研究将深入了解父母给孩子饮酒的后果，以及何时、何地和如何这样做才能将伤害降至最低。这是一项国家优先事项，因为酗酒是造成澳大利亚年轻人受伤和死亡的主要原因，发展预防性保健知识至关重要。这项研究将为父母提供他们需要的信息，让他们的孩子有一个更健康的生活开始。

Parents typically supply alcohol to their children believing it is the best way to teach responsible drinking. Whether parents should provide alcohol is controversial and the evidence to inform this decision is unclear. This research will provide an in-depth understanding of the consequences of parents providing alcohol to their children and when, where and how this can be done to minimise harm. This is a national priority as alcohol abuse is a leading cause of injury and death among young Australians and developing the knowledge for preventive health care is essential. This research will provide parents with the information they need to give their children a healthier start to life.
