Alcohol and Harm Minimisation: Students’ Attitudes to Harm Minimisation Messages with Dr Rose Leontini
There is a growing body of work on alcohol use by undergraduate university students in Australia and comparable countries with evidence that this cohort engages in higher levels of episodic drinking than their non-university peers. In a large qualitative Australian study conducted between 2011-2014, students across two different universities and seven university residential colleges were interviewed about their alcohol use and harm minimization practices. This part of the project was important for understanding how young people interpret messages on harm minimization in relation to alcohol use, and the socio-cultural and ethical dimensions of harm minimization messages used to target particular population groups.
