Overview

This project evaluated the effectiveness and community perceptions of the alcohol management plans which were implemented in Alice Springs and Tennant Creek, Northern Territory (NT).

Alcohol management plans have been a significant intervention in many NT communities. They have been designed to address the serious health, social and economic effects of alcohol misuse. This evaluation explored how effective the interventions had been, and how well accepted they were by the community. This project was a partnership between the Menzies School of Health Research, the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Families.
