| ALAC Alcohol Monitor - Adults & Youth : 2008-09 Drinking Behaviours Report
Catalogue No:
(Dec2009)
This report updates the previous drinking behaviours report produced for ALAC covering the 2005-06, 2006-07, and 2007-08 periods. The 2008-09 year saw a change in ALAC's monitoring programme, with a shift from quarterly monitors of youth and adults to a single survey (conducted in November 2008) for each of these groups. Therefore, while the reports for previous years are based on amalgamated results from quarterly monitors, this 2008-09 report is based on one point-in-time measure. |

| Improving Addiction Treatment Retention for Young People: A Research Report from the National Addiction Centre
Catalogue No:
AL312
(Oct2007)
This study is the first in New Zealand to investigate the factors associated with AOD treatment
retention among youth. Conducted among a group of young people who attended eight youth AOD treatment services in New Zealand during 2003 and 2004, it examines a range of treatment
modalities, including day, residential and outpatient settings using mainstream, kaupapa Mäori and Pasifika approaches.
The study shows that ‘fixed client characteristics’ such as sociodemographics have little or no
association with longer stays in treatment – and that instead, ‘dynamic client characteristics’ and
‘programme-related variables’ are more relevant. |

| High on Life - Evaluation report
Catalogue No:
AL534
(Jul2006)
This report presents the results of an evaluation of the High on Life (HOL) initiative implemented in secondary schools in urban Wanganui and the Taranaki region. The evaluation was undertaken by Research & Evaluation Services, New Plymouth on behalf of the Alcohol Advisory Council of New Zealand (ALAC), with the cooperation of the Ministry of Education’s Wanganui office. The evaluation programme was commissioned and funded by ALAC.
1.1 WHAT IS HIGH ON LIFE?
The HOL initiative is a secondary school-targeted alcohol and other drug (AOD) education intervention originally conceived, developed and piloted in Wanganui between 2003 and 2004 and subsequently adopted and implemented in the Taranaki region during 2004.
The objectives of the HOL programme over this period were to reduce AOD-related harm to students; to reduce AOD-related suspensions; to assist schools and AOD agencies to work together effectively in response to students’ AOD issues; to provide early professional AOD support for students with AOD-related issues. |

| The Way We Drink 2005 - Executive Summary
Catalogue No:
AL431
(Apr2006)
This report presents the results of a survey of New Zealanders, 12 years of age and older, conducted in March and April 2005. Commissioned by the Alcohol Advisory Council, it was specifically undertaken in order to identify and segment the current attitudes (motivators and inhibitors) and behaviours of New Zealanders towards the consumption of alcohol.
The current survey also updates a similar segmentation study conducted between June and September 2003, following the launch of the first stage of a significant communications campaign in March 2005, designed to help positively influence attitudes and behaviours with regard to New Zealand’s risky drinking culture, particularly as it relates to raising awareness that risky drinking is endemic in New Zealand and not necessarily “somebody else’s problem” (alternatively, “not my problem”). Accordingly, as well as updating 2003 findings, the current survey also measured early impacts of the new communications campaign – the “See” campaign. ALAC Occasional Paper No. 27. |

AL004
(Feb2005)
This study aimed to assess the health impacts of alcohol consumption in New Zealand in terms of the types of health conditions most affected, the numbers of deaths caused and prevented in a year, and the years of life lost or gained by the population as a result.
The amount of non-fatal disease and disability due to alcohol was also estimated and combined with the information on deaths to produce an overall assessment of the health burden in terms of disability-adjusted life years1 (DALYs) lost. ALAC Occasional Paper No. 23. Online copy only. |
