- #22 By way of a very brief introduction to today’s topic, and as many of you already know, since 1996, there has been a statistically significant decrease in the proportion of 12 to 17 year olds reporting having ever used various drugs, and, as this graph shows, using drugs recently. Compared to alcohol, the usage rate for illicit drugs continues to be very low. While approximately 90% of students report having used alcohol, in 2005, for the first time since 1996, we saw a small decrease in lifetime use of 1.6%. It will be interesting to see the results of the 2008 schoolchildren’s survey, currently underway.

- #28 Although some/many parents believe that alcohol use is a ‘rite of passage’ and that their teenagers are simply ‘doing what they did’ – there is evidence to suggest that we are seeing very different patterns of drinking. Of those that do drink ….

- #31 From the Drug Info Clearing house, Dec 09 Regular alcopops contain between four and five per cent alcohol and &quot;premium&quot; or super-strength alcopops can contain up to nine per cent alcohol. Alcopops can also include caffeine and other stimulants that can give drinkers a false sense of alertness. One of the main concerns with alcopops is their appeal to underage drinkers. Evidence suggests that alcopops initiate young people in their early teens into alcohol use. The sweet soft drink flavour disguises the alcohol taste and content. A Choice report in 2008 found that 24 per cent of the 18 ﾐ 19-year-olds thought there was no alcohol in the alcopops they tasted. n April 2008 an increase in excise tax was passed on alcopops to bring the tax rate of their alcohol content in line with that of other spirits. Market researcher AC Nielsen reported sales of alcopops fell by about one-third, and while spirits and beer increased there was a general decrease in the net amount of alcohol sold to consumers during the period (Chikritzhs et al 2009). After strong lobbying by both health groups and the alcohol industry, the Bill was rejected by the Senate in March 2009. The revenue gathered will be returned to the various arms of the alcohol industry that paid the excise and the price of alcopops should drop to pre-tax levels.
- #32 And “shouting a round” at the pub is common and expected among a group of friends. Work hard means we party hard………… Much of this has to do with the dominance of consumerism and the commodification of cultural life that has changed the way we measure happiness & pleasure. YP are major targets of marketing strategies and the consumer culture contributes to the way YP construct their identity Births, deaths, marriages, graduations, and celebrations of all sorts are just not the same without a glass of something chilled Alcohol is generally seen as an acceptable and common source of enjoyment and a key part of social interaction Drinking style of young people differs to adult counterparts e.g., “determined drunkenness”, “vertical drinking”
- #33 So what can we say about the drinking culture in Australia: Alcohol integrated into Australian way of life Alcohol is most popular and widespread psychoactive substance in Australia Alcohol is legal, socially sanctioned and widely promoted Drinking is primarily a social activity, shaped by biological, psychological, environmental and cultural factors Drinking is a learned behaviour that reflects norms, standards, expectations and environmental constraints Alcohol has a complex role in Australian society. Most Australians drink alcohol, generally for enjoyment, relaxation and sociability, and do so at levels that cause few adverse effects( 2009 National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC)
- #34 It is learned from when we are young We learn through observation of parents, family friends It is contextual.. Re our culture Our family The different culture we choose/ to socialize in If the groups we hang about feel that you don’t need to drink to have fun Then we may be more likely to find it easier not to binge CLIP 1 assessment How affective they are in helping ypong people think about their drinking There are 12 short clips around 30 sec long We wont discuss them I just wan to get your rating Hand papers up in the end Research looking at how YP) are affected by the Media Today I am using digital film media.

- #50 Counting the cost of alcohol use in Australia The number of people hospitalised for alcohol-related injuries & diseases increased nationally by 34% between 1995-2006 (National Drug Research Institute, 2009) Victoria jumped 77%, with the cost of alcohol related harm in 2007-2008 being $4.3 billion Child Protection statistics show 34,000 children are in care nationally. Half of these children have at least one parent with an alcohol problem and 13% of Australian children live in a household with at least one adult is regularly drunk. (Prof Dorothy Scott, Uni SA, media release 21 Jan, 2010.)
- #52 Alcohol normal causes a predictable decrease in reaction time and motor coordination. As blood alcohol rises there is also an increase in the level of sedation. In adults, alcohol will tend to cause drowsiness with associated loss of attention and motor coordination. Higher levels of alcohol intoxication can lead to unconsciousness and depress even very basic physiological processes such as the drive to breathe.

- #54 This is where a person cannot recall key aspects of their behaviour in the period immediately following a bout of intoxication. In essence, it indicates that the brain processes that code short-term memory (located in the hippocampus and related temporal lobe structures) were seriously disrupted when the person was intoxicated. It is believed that this phenomenon is indicative of at least short and, potentially, longer-term damage to the hippocampus.

- #62 The impact of alcohol on the adolescent brain Dr. Andrew Rochford The brain is our control centre. It directs all the functions that go on in our body - conscious and unconscious. Arguably, a healthy brain is our most valuable asset. We once thought the teenage brain was the same as an adult brain that it had reached full development and finished growing by the time puberty had kicked in. But now the latest brain science is telling us a very different story. From the age of 12 or 13 through to the early 20s, the brain is in a state of intense development, moulding and hardwiring in readiness for the challenges of adulthood ahead. Through a process called ‘frontalisation’, the brain is busy forming all the critical parts it needs for learning, memory, planning, emotional stability and thinking for the rest of life. Once this development phase is complete, at around about 23 or 24 years of age, the brain’s capacity is fixed and cannot be changed. The development period is therefore vitally important and anything that interferes with this is obviously bad news. Alcohol disrupts brain development. Teenagers who drink alcohol risk their brains not reaching full capacity, which means they might never reach their full potential as an adult. It’s that simple!
- #63 Damage to the brain during this critical development period appears to have long-lasting consequences on those higher order cognitive and emotional functions that are essential for maximum occupational and social function as an adult. Young people who consumer brain-toxic substances early in their teenage years are at increased risk of developing major mental health problems later in the later adolescent or early adult years; and, Young people with major mental health problems and alcohol or other drug-related disorders have two sets of problems that are likely to have long-term adverse effects on their brain development. A LC O HO
- #64 Young people with first lifetime episodes of anxiety, depression or psychotic disorders who also consume significant amounts of alcohol are at increased risk of self-harm, attempted suicide, accidental injury as well as persistence or recurrence of their primary mental health problem.
