Addressing youth binge drinking: the national strategy and the Tasmanian early intervention program

The Tasmanian Institute of Law Enforcement Studies (TILES) publishes regular Briefing Papers on topics related to the Institute's research program. Our thirteenth Briefing Paper, prepared by Dr Isabelle Bartkowiak-Théron, provides an overview and summary of the 2012-2014 evaluation of the Tasmanian Early Intervention Pilot Program (TEIPP) established as part of the National Strategy Against Binge Drinking. The evaluation demonstrated the benefits of collaboration in developing and implementing a program to address youth binge-drinking. TILES continues to engage in research that builds on these findings to enhance knowledge on successful collaboration in policing and criminal justice.
