Understanding and addressing alcohol harm among Pasifika young people

This factsheet presents Pasifika-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 Pasifika young people. It was developed in partnership with Alcohol Healthwatch, with guidance from Pasifika advisors. Further detail, including methods and data tables, is available in the associated Technical Report.

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