Funded by the Alcohol Education and Rehabilitation Foundation Ltd, this project is a joint initiative with the Tasmanian Institute of Law Enforcement Studies (TILES) and will trial an evidence-based strategy for reducing alcohol-related harm by identifying and correcting misperceptions of peer attitudes and behaviours surrounding alcohol comsumption.

The project aims to:

  • determine the extent of mispreception regarding alcohol use and associated harms through the collection fo baseline and contextual data;
  • develop an implementation strategy, identify potential community characteristics which would impact on the success of the project;
  • create and disseminate appropriate resources to support the trial;
  • generate a model, including appropriate recommendations, for replication in other communities within Australia.
