Pubs/bars/nightclubs accounted for 51% of all alcohol consumed, followed by residential halls (34%), student flats/houses (9%), and other locations (6%). Episodes resulting in intoxication comprised 61% of all drinking episodes in pubs/bars/nightclubs, 55% in student flats/houses, 53% in residential halls, and 37% in other locations. Multi-level analyses revealed positive associations between the first three location types (relative to ‘other’) and intoxication among women. Drinking in pubs/bars/nightclubs was associated with intoxication among men. Other significant predictors included hazardous drinking in the respondent's residential hall, pre-university drinking, and first-year status. Student intoxication is commonplace in licensed premises and residential halls. These environments are amenable to interventions to reduce the incidence of intoxication.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:38:18 AEST ]]> Public participation in local alcohol regulation: findings from a survey of New Zealand communities https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:21425 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:21:48 AEST ]]> Local government alcohol policy development: case studies in three New Zealand communities https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19346 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:45:33 AEST ]]> Non-response bias in a web-based health behaviour survey of New Zealand tertiary students https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:11845 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:35:42 AEST ]]> New Zealand’s new alcohol laws: protocol for a mixed-methods evaluation https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26202 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:27:51 AEST ]]> Effects of small incentives on survey response fractions: randomised comparisons in national alcohol surveys conducted in New Zealand https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:29867 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:17:36 AEST ]]> Changes in the incidence of assault after restrictions on late-night alcohol sales in New Zealand: evaluation of a natural experiment using hospitalization and police data https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46277 n= 14996) and (2) cases of assault recorded by NZ Police from 2012 to 2018. Intervention: introduction of national maximum trading hours for all on‐licence (8 a.m.–4 a.m.) and off‐licence premises (7 a.m.–11 p.m.), abolishing existing 24‐hour licences, on 18 December 2013. Measurements: (1) Age‐specific incidence of hospitalization for assault on Friday, Saturday or Sunday from the national hospital discharge data set, excluding short‐stay emergency department admissions and (2) proportion of weekly police‐documented assaults occurring between 9 p.m. and 5.59 a.m., from NZ Police Demand and Activity data set. Findings: Following the restrictions, weekend hospitalized assaults declined by 11% [incidence rate ratio(IRR) = 0.89; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.84, 0.94], with the greatest reduction among 15–29‐year‐olds(IRR = 0.82; 95% CI = 0.76, 0.89). There was an absolute reduction (step change) of 1.8% (95% CI = 0.2, 3.5%) in the proportion of police‐documented assaults occurring at night, equivalent to 9.70 (95% CI = 0.10, 19.30) fewer night‐time assaults per week, out of 207.4. Conclusions: The 2013 implementation of national maximum trading hours for alcohol in NZ was followed by reductions in two complementary indicators of alcohol‐related assault, consistent with beneficial effects of modest nation‐wide restrictions on the late‐night availability of alcohol.]]> Tue 29 Aug 2023 15:06:37 AEST ]]> Hazardous drinking among students over a decade of university policy change: controlled before-and-after evaluation https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:33366 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:00:36 AEST ]]> Alcohol harms over a period of alcohol policy reform: surveys of New Zealand college residents in 2004 and 2014 https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38460 Thu 18 Nov 2021 10:00:50 AEDT ]]> Do New Zealand communities have greater input to local alcohol policy?

Cross-sectional comparisons showed no marked change in proportions reporting ever having participated in alcohol policy development (4.9% in 2014 versus 5.1% in 2017), or who objected to a licence application in the preceding year (1.0% versus 1.4%). Longitudinal comparisons also suggested little change. The most common reasons 2017 respondents gave for not participating were not knowing where to start (39%), lack of time (36%), and needing more information (32%), and this order was similar in 2014. Conclusion: Public participation in local liquor licencing is low and it has not increased substantially under the new legislation.]]> Thu 01 Sep 2022 10:15:38 AEST ]]> The Alcohol Reform Bill: more tinkering than reform in response to the New Zealand public's demand for better liquor laws https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:12536 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:19 AEDT ]]> Public sentiment towards alcohol and local government alcohol policies in New Zealand https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:16463 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:46 AEDT ]]> Public opinion and local government alcohol policy: a study of seven New Zealand communities https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17672 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:47 AEDT ]]> Non-response bias in a community survey of drinking, alcohol-related experiences and public opinion on alcohol policy https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:21872 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:57 AEDT ]]> What became of New Zealand's golden opportunity for liquor law reform?
