“…Twenty-one studies were included in the review [6,15,36-54,61-65]. Fifteen of the studies measure public opinion Australia-wide, and the remaining six were conducted in New South Wales (NSW), the Northern Territory (NT), Victoria, and Western Australia (WA).…”

“…Support is highest for initiatives which are directed towards licensees. A large nation-wide survey and a small NSW study conducted in 2007 found that more than four-fifths of Australians and three-quarters of rural NSW residents support stricter regulation, enforcement and penalties for irresponsible serving of alcohol [36,41,44]. …”

“…In the original studies level of support was recorded on a variety of response scales; six studies used a five-point Likert scale with a middle "neither" response [6,36-40], a further nine studies used the same scale but also allowed a "don't know", "refused" or "other" response [41-52], one study used a four point scale [53], and one used a two-point scale but also allowed a "don't know" or "unaware of the restriction" response [54]. The response scale of the remaining included studies was not reported.…”

BackgroundIncreasing concern about the negative impact of alcohol on the Australian community has renewed calls for tighter regulatory controls. This paper reviews levels of and trends in public support for liquor control regulations, regulation of alcohol promotions, and alcohol pricing and taxation reforms in Australia between 1998 and 2009.MethodsSix electronic databases and twenty public health and alcohol organisation websites were searched for research literature, reports and media releases describing levels of public support for alcohol controls. Only studies which randomly selected participants were included.ResultsTwenty-one studies were included in the review. The majority of the Australian public support most proposed alcohol controls. Levels of support are divided between targeted and universal controls.ConclusionsImplementation of targeted alcohol policies is likely to be strongly supported by the Australian public, but universal controls are liable to be unpopular. Policy makers are provided with insights into factors likely to be associated with higher public support.

“…However, upstream interventions hold strong potential; in this case, information posters could be placed in nightclub washrooms, a technique used in antismoking campaigns 45. However, offender-targeted campaigns have been shown in the literature to have minimal effect on offender opinions or behaviours, and the management at alcohol-serving establishments may be reluctant to engage in campaigns that may discourage consumption 46 47. Conversely, the WHO recommends campaigns targeting the cultural norms that promote violence, with an emphasis on youth education 48.…”

A GIS-based spatiotemporal analysis of violent trauma hotspots in Vancouver, Canada: identification, contextualisation and intervention

BackgroundIn 2002, the WHO declared interpersonal violence to be a leading public health problem. Previous research demonstrates that urban spaces with a high incidence of violent trauma (hotspots) correlate with features of built environment and social determinants. However, there are few studies that analyse injury data across the axes of both space and time to characterise injury–environment relationships. This paper describes a spatiotemporal analysis of violent injuries in Vancouver, Canada, from 2001 to 2008.MethodsUsing geographic information systems, 575 violent trauma incidents were mapped and analysed using kernel density estimation to identify hotspot locations. Patterns between space, time, victim age and sex and mechanism of injury were investigated with an exploratory approach.ResultsSeveral patterns in space and time were identified and described, corresponding to distinct neighbourhood characteristics. Violent trauma hotspots were most prevalent in Vancouver's nightclub district on Friday and Saturday nights, with higher rates in the most socioeconomically deprived neighbourhoods. Victim sex, age and mechanism of injury also formed strong patterns. Three neighbourhood profiles are presented using the dual axis of space/time to describe the hotspot environments.ConclusionsThis work posits the value of exploratory spatial data analysis using geographic information systems in trauma epidemiology studies and further suggests that using both space and time concurrently to understand urban environmental correlates of injury provides a more granular or higher resolution picture of risk. We discuss implications for injury prevention and control, focusing on education, regulation, the built environment and injury surveillance.

“…These are the implicit mechanisms, which it is important to draw out, and for which Realism is such a powerful tool. For me the other mechanisms, those theories within the literature (Cherpitel, 2007;Graham & Homel, 2008;Havard, Shakeshaft, & Sanson-Fisher, 2008;Hawkins, Sanson-Fisher, Shakeshaft, & Webb, 2009;Palk, Davey, & Freeman, 2010), came later.…”

Differences in licensee, police and public opinions regarding interventions to reduce alcohol‐related harm associated with licensed premises

Abstract: Licensees were less likely than police and members of the public to agree they were responsible for reducing alcohol-related harm resulting from drinking at their premises.
