Aims:

To investigate the impact of the re-introduction of the Banned Drinker Register in the Northern Territory, where rates of alcohol-related harm are more than twenty times that seen in other Australian states. This interdisciplinary team will use qualitative and quantitative methods across urban and remote locations to answer complex questions about policy impact.

Research methods:

This research involves four studies which combine quantitative and qualitative designs, along with methods that follow individuals as well as tracking changes in community-wide data sets.
