“…While there is an established risk between alcohol consumption and experiencing assault in adult populations, the relationship between underage assault and alcohol policy implementation has rarely been examined [8].

IntroductionIn September 2017 the Northern Territory Government of Australia introduced a banned drinker register (BDR) to mitigate the high levels of alcohol‐related harm within the Northern Territory. The current study aimed to examine the impact of the Northern Territory BDR on youth (aged <18 years) using police recorded assault data.MethodsInterrupted time‐series models were used to assess monthly trends in assaults and alcohol‐related assaults perpetration and victimisation in the regions of Greater Darwin, Alice Springs and Katherine between January 2014 and December 2019.ResultsExamining the three regions combined, after the re‐introduction of the BDR a significant step decrease in police recorded youth assault perpetration (β = −1.67) and a significant step increase in police recorded youth assault victimisation (β = 1.40) was identified. However, no significant effects were identified at the individual region level.Discussion and ConclusionsFindings suggest that restricting alcohol consumption in high‐risk adults through the BDR had a limited immediate effect in police recorded youth assaults. Individual level or contextual factors may have influenced both immediate and long‐term impacts of the BDR, and as such, future policy design needs to support and empower community leaders across the policy development and implementation process. A wider evaluation of the BDR currently underway may provide additional understanding behind the mechanisms that underpin alcohol‐related harm in the Northern Territory.

“…Internationally, alcohol is the leading risk factor for premature death and disability among people aged 15-49 years [1]. Drinking causes substantial harms to others including assault, road crashes, productivity loss and child neglect, which far outweigh the costs to drinkers themselves [2][3][4]. The annual cost of such alcohol-related harms to Australian communities is $67 billion [5], with alcohol tax revenue recouping only a tenth of this cost [6].…”

Introduction Minimum unit price (MUP) policies establish a retail floor price below which alcohol may not be sold, and have been shown to reduce harmful alcohol use. We aimed to collect retail price data to estimate the proportion of alcohol products that would potentially be impacted by a MUP policy in Western Australia. Methods We purposively sampled the four largest off‐premises alcohol retail chains, a further random sample of other off‐premise alcohol outlets (n = 16) and on‐premise inner‐city outlets (n = 11). Using website data from May to June 2021, we estimated the proportion of products across four beverage categories priced ≤A$1.30, ≤A$1.50 and ≤A$1.75 per standard drink (10 g alcohol). Results Of 27,797 off‐premise products identified, 5.7% were available at ≤$1.30 per standard drink, 7.6% at ≤$1.50 and 10.4% at ≤$1.75. The proportion of products available at ≤$1.30 per standard drink varied by beverage category: 7.8% wine, 2.9% beer and cider, <0.1% spirits, 0.0% ready‐to‐drink spirits. Cask‐packaged wines represented only 1.9% of off‐premise wine products and 98.9% of this cask wine was priced ≤$1.30 per standard drink. No on‐premise products were priced ≤$1.75 per standard drink. Discussion and Conclusions A comprehensive survey of alcohol prices in Western Australia found only a small proportion of products would potentially be affected by a MUP of $1.30 to $1.75 per standard drink. A MUP policy has potential to target the small proportion of alcohol products available at very low prices (i.e., off‐premise cask wine), with negligible impact on other off‐premise beverage categories, and no impact on on‐premises products.
