Understanding and addressing alcohol harm among Rainbow young people

This factsheet presents Rainbow-specific findings about alcohol use among secondary school students based on Youth 2000 survey data. It includes trends, data on self-reported experiences of alcohol harm, and risk and protective factors associated with high-risk drinking among Rainbow young people. It was developed in partnership with Alcohol Healthwatch, with guidance from Rainbow advisors. Further detail about methods is available in the associated Technical Report.

The findings are also presented in a webinar, which can be viewed here.
