Results: Greater enactment of the PBS that has previously been found to be associated with reduced alcohol use (‘Count your drinks’) was found among older respondents and those with lower levels of alcohol consumption. Older respondents were also more likely to enact two of the three PBSs that have been found to be associated with increased alcohol consumption (‘Use a designated driver’ and ‘Leave drinking venues at a pre-determined time’). Conclusions/Importance: Results suggest that enactment of specific PBSs may differ according to the individual-level variables of gender, age, and preferred beverage type, and the environmental-level variable of attendance at licensed premises. Randomized trials investigating the effectiveness of PBS interventions among drinker subgroups are needed to determine the extent to which enactment reduces alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm and whether effects are moderated by the variables assessed in this study.]]> Tue 29 Nov 2022 11:13:26 AEDT ]]> Changes in the incidence of assault after restrictions on late-night alcohol sales in New Zealand: evaluation of a natural experiment using hospitalization and police data https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46277 n= 14996) and (2) cases of assault recorded by NZ Police from 2012 to 2018. Intervention: introduction of national maximum trading hours for all on‐licence (8 a.m.–4 a.m.) and off‐licence premises (7 a.m.–11 p.m.), abolishing existing 24‐hour licences, on 18 December 2013. Measurements: (1) Age‐specific incidence of hospitalization for assault on Friday, Saturday or Sunday from the national hospital discharge data set, excluding short‐stay emergency department admissions and (2) proportion of weekly police‐documented assaults occurring between 9 p.m. and 5.59 a.m., from NZ Police Demand and Activity data set. Findings: Following the restrictions, weekend hospitalized assaults declined by 11% [incidence rate ratio(IRR) = 0.89; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.84, 0.94], with the greatest reduction among 15–29‐year‐olds(IRR = 0.82; 95% CI = 0.76, 0.89). There was an absolute reduction (step change) of 1.8% (95% CI = 0.2, 3.5%) in the proportion of police‐documented assaults occurring at night, equivalent to 9.70 (95% CI = 0.10, 19.30) fewer night‐time assaults per week, out of 207.4. Conclusions: The 2013 implementation of national maximum trading hours for alcohol in NZ was followed by reductions in two complementary indicators of alcohol‐related assault, consistent with beneficial effects of modest nation‐wide restrictions on the late‐night availability of alcohol.]]> Tue 29 Aug 2023 15:06:37 AEST ]]> Effects of the Connections program on return-to-custody, mortality and treatment uptake among people with a history of opioid use: Retrospective cohort study in an Australian prison system https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53677 Tue 09 Jan 2024 12:52:55 AEDT ]]> Effect of electronic screening and brief intervention on hazardous or harmful drinking among adults in the hospital outpatient setting: a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35768 Tue 06 Jun 2023 13:29:56 AEST ]]> Association between Bar Closing Time, Alcohol Use Disorders and Blood Alcohol Concentration: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study of Nightlife-Goers in Perth, Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51447 Tue 05 Sep 2023 17:54:16 AEST ]]> Government-funded health research contracts in Australia: a critical assessment of transparency https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35233 Tue 02 Jul 2019 12:19:43 AEST ]]> A quantitative analysis of the quality and content of the health advice in popular Australian magazines https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26789 Tue 01 May 2018 15:44:52 AEST ]]> A Taxonomy of Alcohol Harm Countermeasures https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50047 Thu 29 Jun 2023 15:06:42 AEST ]]> Association between nightlife goers’ likelihood of an alcohol use disorder and their preferred bar’s closing time: A cross-sectional observational study in perth, Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45356 Thu 27 Oct 2022 16:12:44 AEDT ]]> Age of Alcohol Initiation and Progression to Binge Drinking in Adolescence: A Prospective Cohort Study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43039 4 standard drinks on a single occasion), and (ii) the total number of alcoholic drinks consumed in the past year, adjusted for a range of potential child, parent, family, and peer covariates. Results: Fifty percent of adolescents reported alcohol use and 36% reported bingeing at wave 5 (mean age 16.9 years), and the mean age of initiation to alcohol use for drinkers was 15.1 years. Age of initiation was significantly associated with binge drinking and total quantity of alcohol consumed in unadjusted and adjusted models. Age of first drunkenness was associated with total quantity of alcohol consumed in unadjusted models but not adjusted models and was not associated with subsequent bingeing. Conclusions: Initiating alcohol use earlier in adolescence is associated with an increased risk of binge drinking and higher quantity of consumption in late secondary school, supporting an argument for delaying alcohol initiation for as long as possible to reduce the risk for problematic use in later adolescence and the alcohol-related harms that may accompany this use.]]> Thu 24 Aug 2023 09:26:02 AEST ]]> Alcohol harms over a period of alcohol policy reform: surveys of New Zealand college residents in 2004 and 2014 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38460 Thu 18 Nov 2021 10:00:50 AEDT ]]> Effects of a risk-based licensing scheme on the incidence of alcohol-related assault in Queensland, Australia: a quasi-experimental evaluation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38679 Thu 16 Dec 2021 10:43:19 AEDT ]]> Alcohol use among young Australian adults in May–June 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic: a prospective cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49927 Thu 15 Jun 2023 11:55:49 AEST ]]> Analysis of alcohol industry submissions against marketing regulation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26866 Thu 14 Oct 2021 14:46:38 AEDT ]]> Analysis of alcohol industry submissions against marketing regulation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30412 Thu 14 Apr 2022 11:01:03 AEST ]]> Association of parental supply of alcohol with adolescent drinking, alcohol-related harms, and alcohol use disorder symptoms: a prospective cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35002 Thu 04 Nov 2021 10:40:01 AEDT ]]> Do New Zealand communities have greater input to local alcohol policy?

Multinomial logistic analyses compared adolescents who had only had a sip/taste of alcohol (sippers) with adolescents who had consumed at least a whole drink (drinkers) in the past 6 months. The multivariate model assessed a broad range of demographics, parenting practices, peer influences, and adolescent externalizing and internalizing behaviors, and controlled for school clustering. Results: Compared to drinkers, sippers were less likely to come from 1-parent households (odds ratio [OR] = 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35 to 0.98); less likely to come from low-socioeconomic status (SES) households (OR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.31 to 0.94); more likely to come from families where parents provide stricter alcohol-specific rules (OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.11 to 1.32), stricter monitoring of the child's activities (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04 to 1.16), more consistent parenting practices (OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.23), and more positive family relationships (OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.02 to 2.43); and report having fewer substance-using peers (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.70 to 0.91) and greater peer disapproval of any substance use (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.19 to 1.42). After adjustment for confounders, the associations with household composition and SES were no longer significant, but the familial and peer associations remained significant in the multivariate analysis, (40) = 1,493.06, p < 0.001. Conclusions: Sipping alcohol has different associations with known predictors of adolescent alcohol use than drinking whole beverages, and sipping may be a distinct or separable behavior.

The contemplation ladder for alcohol was sensitive to other alcohol-related behaviours, and may be useful in surveys of drinking where a brief measure of readiness to change is needed.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:04 AEDT ]]> Distributing surveys: postal versus drop-and-collect (letter) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26239 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:03 AEDT ]]> Drinking concordance and relationship satisfaction in New Zealand couples https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26243 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:03 AEDT ]]> Effects of small incentives on survey response fractions: randomised comparisons in national alcohol surveys conducted in New Zealand (report) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26234 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:03 AEDT ]]> Access to the Internet among drinkers, smokers and illicit drug users: is it a barrier to the provision of interventions on the World Wide Web? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3671 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:10 AEDT ]]> Alcohol and road safety behaviour https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3958 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:22:42 AEDT ]]> Alcohol advertising in the New Zealand university student press https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4877 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:22:00 AEDT ]]> A critique of Fox's industry-funded report into the drivers of anti-social behaviour in the night-time economies of Australia and New Zealand https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23067 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:12:26 AEDT ]]> Ethanol content in Australian and New Zealand beer markets: exploratory study examining public health implications of official data and market intelligence report https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39034 Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:51:17 AEDT ]]> Cohort profile: The Australian Parental Supply of Alcohol Longitudinal Study (APSALS) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26832  90% retention, and a 3-year follow-up is under way.

Average heavy consumption definitions of tolerance were most strongly associated with persistent AUD (OR = 6.66, P = 0.001; OR = 4.65, P = 0.004) but not associated with new-onset AUD (Ps > 0.05). Conclusions: Initial drink and percentage change thresholds appear to improve the efficacy of change-based tolerance as an indicator for new-onset alcohol use disorder diagnosis in self-report surveys of young adults. When predicting persistent alcohol use disorder, average heavy consumption-based indicators appear to be a better way to measure tolerance than self-reported change-based definitions.]]> Mon 22 Apr 2024 12:31:43 AEST ]]> Feedback from recently returned veterans on an anonymous web-based brief alcohol intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21692 a priori as well as emergent domains. Results: During interviews, all nine OEF/OIF veterans (1 woman and 8 men) indicated they had received feedback for risky alcohol consumption. Participants generally liked the standard-drinks image, alcohol-related caloric and monetary feedback, and the website’s brevity and anonymity (a priori domains). They also experienced challenges with portions of the e-SBI assessment and viewed feedback regarding alcohol risk and normative drinking as problematic, but described potential benefits derived from the e-SBI (emergent domains). The most appealing e-SBIs would ensure anonymity and provide personalized transparent feedback about alcohol-related risk, consideration of the context for drinking, strategies to reduce drinking, and additional resources for veterans with more severe alcohol misuse. Conclusions: Results of this qualitative exploratory study suggest e-SBI may be an acceptable strategy for increasing OEF/OIF veteran access to evidenced-based alcohol SBI.]]> Mon 18 Mar 2019 12:16:00 AEDT ]]> A longitudinal examination of protective behavioral strategies and alcohol consumption among adult drinkers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36440 Mon 04 May 2020 12:23:04 AEST ]]> Changes in mental health and help-seeking among young Australian adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: a prospective cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50072 Fri 30 Jun 2023 11:20:33 AEST ]]> Enrolment-latency in randomized behavior change trials: individual participant data meta-analysis showed association with attrition but not effect-size https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37875 Fri 28 May 2021 12:17:08 AEST ]]> Gender differences in the supply of alcohol to adolescent daughters and sons https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48638 4 standard drinks), and alcohol-related harms. Results: At mean age of 12.9 years about one in ten children report parental supply of alcohol which increases to about four in ten children by 17.8 years. Mothers consistently more often supply their daughters with alcohol than their sons, [Wave 5 OR 1.77 (1.53,2.05)], while mothers less often supply sons than their daughters, [Wave 5 OR 0.82 (0.71,0.95)]. Mothers’ supply of alcohol to daughters predicts substantially increased odds of daughters binge drinking, [OR 1.67 (1.10,2.53)] and experiencing alcohol related harms, [OR 1.65 (1.10,2.48)]. Conclusion: There is a need to involve both mothers and fathers and to equally target female and male children in programs to reduce the harmful consequences of parental supply of alcohol to their children.]]> Fri 24 Mar 2023 13:23:51 AEDT ]]> Alcohol and economic development: observations on the kingdom of Bhutan https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26804 Fri 22 Apr 2022 10:24:08 AEST ]]> Advancing public health policy making through research on the political strategies of alcohol industry actors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38570 Fri 12 Nov 2021 12:46:53 AEDT ]]> Costing alcohol-related assault in the night-time economy from a societal perspective: The case of Central Sydney https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49417 Fri 12 May 2023 15:02:11 AEST ]]> Adolescent alcohol use trajectories: risk factors and adult outcomes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38575 n = 1813) were used to model latent class alcohol use trajectories over 5 annual follow-ups (mean age = 13.9 until 17.8 years). Regression models were used to determine whether child, parent, and peer factors at baseline (mean age = 12.9 years) predicted trajectory membership and whether trajectories predicted self-reported symptoms of AUD at the final follow-up (mean age = 18.8 years). RESULTS: We identified 4 classes: abstaining (n = 352); late-onset moderate drinking (n = 503); early-onset moderate drinking (n = 663); and early-onset heavy drinking (n = 295). Having more alcohol-specific household rules reduced risk of early-onset heavy drinking compared with late-onset moderate drinking (relative risk ratio: 0.31; 99.5% confidence interval [CI]: 0.11-0.83), whereas having more substance-using peers increased this risk (relative risk ratio: 3.43; 99.5% CI: 2.10-5.62). Early-onset heavy drinking increased odds of meeting criteria for AUD in early adulthood (odds ratio: 7.68; 99.5% CI: 2.41-24.47). CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides evidence that parenting factors and peer influences in early adolescence should be considered to reduce risk of later alcohol-related harm. Early initiation and heavy alcohol use throughout adolescence are associated with increased risk of alcohol-related harm compared with recommended maximum levels of consumption (late-onset, moderate drinking).]]> Fri 05 Nov 2021 16:20:07 AEDT ]]> DSM-5 and ICD-11 alcohol use disorder criteria in young adult regular drinkers: Lifetime prevalence and age of onset https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45762 Fri 04 Nov 2022 11:02:02 AEDT ]]> Effects of parental alcohol rules on risky drinking and related problems in adolescence: systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30953 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:35:52 AEDT ]]> Effectiveness of lockouts in reducing alcohol-related harm: systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37361 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:33:18 AEDT ]]> Effect of electronic brief intervention on uptake of specialty treatment in hospital outpatients with likely alcohol dependence: pilot randomized trial and qualitative interviews https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33754 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:33:03 AEDT ]]>
