Context encouraging drugs and alcohol use Availability or accessibility to minors Alcohol consumption Underage drinking United Kingdom Alcohol use Alcohol beverage sales outlet Adolescent / youth (teenager / young person) Underage drinker risk factors Alcohol Concern’s Youth Policy project commissioned Dr Nikki Coghill, Senior Research Fellow at the University of the West of England, to conduct some statistical analysis into the density of off-licensed premises and alcohol harms in young people in selected areas of England. As far as we are aware, this is the first study of its kind in this country to focus on the links between off-licence density and harms in under-18s. The analysis uncovered a moderate but statistically significant relationship between the density of off-licensed premises and alcohol specific hospital admissions in young people under-18-years-old per 100,000 of population. Our findings suggest that the greater the availability of alcohol, the greater the risk of young people suffering alcohol harm. Therefore, the changing nature of where we buy and consume alcohol may have an impact on the risk of harms to young people. Limitations in the recording of alcohol-related conditions in hospitals and A&E departments means that the results from this study are likely to be an under-representation of the true picture of harms impacting on young people. Effective harm prevention therefore not only requires targeting education, information and support at an individual level among young people, but control of the concentration of alcohol outlets at a community level.

Herbert, Christian Fennelly, Cara Adolescent / youth (teenager / young person) Availability or accessibility to minors Level of drugs and alcohol use among peers Underage drinker Dublin Youth-club / cafe based prevention Alcohol Underage drinking Peer pressure (bullying) Attitude toward drugs and alcohol A Questionnaire was developed to engage young people from the ages of 12-18 on their attitudes to alcohol in the Ballymun area. The purpose of this research was to determine if attitudes are different according to age group. Questions ranged from opinions on public drinking, peer pressure and relationships with parents/guardians. The study groups were divided into three categories. It was clear that the 12/13 year age group overall were still at the stage where they agreed that drinking alcohol was against the law for young people, they were at times quiet judgemental and used either stereotypes or education to influence their answers. While the 14-16 year age group were at the stage where drinking alcohol was seen to them as the norm and their answers very much reflected on their social life and their friends, they were not looking at consequences and saw no harm in the activity. The 17/18 year age group were at a reflective stage and at times their answers were quite similar to the 12/13 year olds, this time using life experience/education, they were starting to look at consequences. This research has shown that there are significant changes in attitudes to alcohol among young people; the 12/13 year olds not having a vested interest, to the 14/16 year olds at the stage of experimenting, to the 17/18 year olds now assessing their use. A number of recommendations are given based on the findings.

Key findings in the report included: While 77% of the total respondents report that they drink alcohol, 15% reported that they got drunk for the first time before they were fourteen years old; The great majority (89%) of respondents report that their parents are aware of their drinking; 1 in 5 sixteen year old respondents report that they purchase the alcohol they consume themselves; More than one third of respondents reported that they had taken drugs; The reported prevalence of mental health difficulties such as depression, self-harm, eating disorders or feeling suicidal was noticeably higher amongst those respondents who also reported the use of drugs The UNICEF Ireland report concludes that ‘What is absolutely clear from the responses to this survey is that drugs and alcohol are both widely available and widely used amongst many young people living in Ireland. It is imperative that we address this prevalence openly and bring it into the crucial discussions that will shape the future experiences of young people in Ireland.’ UNICEF Ireland 2011 Report NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://www.drugsandalcohol.ie/16346/1/UNICEF_Report-Alcohol__Drugs_Report-Web.pdf UNICEF Ireland.
