Youth drinking declines - what have we learned?

Location: Online, Australia

About this event

Since the early 2000s, adolescent drinking in Australia and in many high income countries has fallen dramatically. For example, among 14-17 year old Australians, the rate of risky drinking has fallen from 30% in 2001 to 9% in 2019. This seminar will summarise a program of work looking to understand these trends, addressing the potential causes of these declines, the implications for adult drinking and harm and next steps for research.

Developing the first UK parents' training programme for FASD

Location: Online

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are the range of conditions that can be caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Current estimates put the prevalence of FASD in the UK at around 3%, making it the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in the country; yet knowledge, understanding and services are severely lacking. FASD mostly affects brain development, and without appropriate support, people with FASD can struggle at school and work, socially, can suffer with mental health problems, may be vulnerable to abuse, and may be at risk of getting into trouble with the police.
