Download: Review of Links Between Interventions to Reduce Alcohol-Related Interpersonal Violence (481KB)

Australia has a large and well-established alcohol industry, with a burgeoning international export trade, especially in beer and wine. Alcohol consumption contributes significantly to the pleasure of many social occasions in this country. On the other hand, it also has significant social harms and significant mortality and morbidity associated with alcohol misuse and abuse, which impacts on many Australian families and individuals. It is timely to investigate how these two phenomena are related and how to affect the right balance between these two facts and to reduce alcohol-related interpersonal harms.

This review examines the links between alcohol misuse and inter-personal violence, and evidence-based interventions to address inter-personal violence related to alcohol misuse.
