Health Education Research 2013;28(4);651-662

Abstract

Although it is common for secondary schools toimplement alcohol policies to reduce alcohol

misuse, there has been little evaluation of theefficacy of these policies. The purpose of this

study was to test the impact of the degree andtype of alcohol policy enforcement in state representativesamples of secondary students inWashington State, USA, and Victoria, Australia(n¼1848). Multivariate logistic regressions wereused to examine the prospective association betweenstudent reports of school alcohol policy inGrade 8 and self-reported alcohol use inGrade 9,controlling for age, gender, state, family socioeconomic status and Grade 8 alcohol use. Thelikelihood of students drinking on school grounds was increased when students perceived lax policyenforcement. Student perceptions of harm minimizationalcohol messages, abstinence alcoholmessages and counselling for alcohol policy violatorspredicted reduced likelihood of bingedrinking. Students perceiving harm minimizationmessages and counselling for alcohol policyviolators had a reduced likelihood of experiencingalcohol-related harms. Perceptions ofharsh penalties were unrelated to drinking behaviour.These results suggest that perceivedpolicy enforcement may lessen drinking at

school 1 year later and that harm minimizationmessages and counselling approaches may also lessen harmful drinking behaviours as harm minimization advocates suggest.

Abstract

Aims Alcohol-dependent people who are middle-aged or older have a widespread loss of cortical grey and white matter,particularly in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). We examine if brain abnormalities are detectable in alcohol use disorders before the fifthdecade (i.e. <40), and the brain structural differences associated with alcohol abuse/dependence in adolescence. Methods Case–controlstudies comparing brain structure in alcohol-abusing/-dependent individuals with normal controls in which the mean age of participantswas <40 were identified using Medline, EMBASE and PsychInfo. Studies in which mean age was over and under 21 were consideredseparately. Results Twelve papers fulfilled inclusion criteria, five in the adolescent (14–21) and seven in the young adult age range. Two independent groups reported hippocampal and prefrontal volume reductions in adolescents, although this was consistentlyobserved only in females. In young adults (aged 21–40), there were grey matter deficits in the PFC in both sexes. Adult women appearedto, particularly, exhibit white matter differences, evident as reduced area of the corpus callosum. Hippocampal volume reduction wasobserved in one study of young adults study but not another. Conclusion The available data suggest that quantitative structural abnormalitiesof the brain are detectable in young alcohol abusers. There is overlap between the abnormalities seen in adolescents and young
