  • What's on the Bottle: Study of Health Warning Labels on Alcoholic
    “WHAT’S ON THE BOTTLE?” Study of Health Warning Labels on Alcoholic Beverages on the New Zealand Market A2 Public Health Group, 2017 Barry H, Brockway G, Chester A, Domanski N, Gee W, Glass C, Gray TM, Knight T, Lin Z, McGregor J, McMillan L, Neville J, Paintin E, Ridha M, Tinawi G, Vaeau T. Study of Health Warning Labels on Alcoholic Beverages on the New Zealand Market Abstract Aim: The health, social, and economic burden of alcohol requires that increased effort be made to identify effective harm reduction strategies. Labelling alcoholic beverages with health warnings is one such intervention that has received international attention. This study aimed to identify and document the current status of voluntary health warning labels on alcoholic beverages sold in New Zealand (including a comparison with imported beverages). Methods: We obtained a sample of 59 alcoholic beverages available in New Zealand, typically at the lower end of the price range. These comprised 10 New Zealand-produced beers, 24 imported beers, 10 wines (three imported), and 15 Ready-to-Drink (RTD) beverages (two imported). We documented the occurrence, content, appearance and position of messages concerning drinking during pregnancy, drink-driving, other health effects, and industry-led initiatives. We also collected data about alcohol content, standard drinks, and nutritional information. Results: 80% of the beverage containers had pregnancy-related warnings, 73% had industry-led initiatives (advising responsible consumption), and 19% had drink-driving/heavy machinery warnings. There were typically similar features of the warnings across beverage types, although some statistically significant differences were apparent. The average area of pregnancy-related pictograms was less than half a square centimetre (45mm2) and the average height of pregnancy-related text was 1.6mm.

  • A Grounded Theory on How Māori Women Negotiate Drinking Alcohol During Pregnancy

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Trading off A grounded theory on how Māori women negotiate drinking alcohol during pregnancy A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health at Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand. Keriata Stuart 2009 Abstract This study aimed to understand how Māori women negotiate decisions about alcohol and pregnancy. It was based in the recognition that Māori women‟s decisions about drinking alcohol when pregnant are shaped by social and cultural expectations about gender roles, as well as their knowledge about alcohol and pregnancy. Māori attitudes to alcohol have also been influenced by colonisation and Māori responses to it. Alcohol use in pregnancy also exists in the context of potential impacts, including fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. There is little knowledge about how and why women may or may not drink during pregnancy. The research used grounded theory methods. Information was gathered through in-depth interviews with ten Māori women. The information they provided was analysed using constant comparative analysis, and a series of categories was generated. The grounded theory proposes that Māori women manage decisions about drinking alcohol when pregnant using a process of Trading off. Trading off is supported by three key processes: drawing on resources, rationalising, and taking control of the role. Māori women start by learning the rules about alcohol, get messages about alcohol and pregnancy, change their alcohol use while making role transitions, and use alcohol in the processes of fitting in where you are, releasing the pressure, and carrying on as normal.

  • State of the Nation 2019 a Stocktake of How New Zealand Is Dealing with the Issue of Drugs
    State of the Nation 2019 A stocktake of how New Zealand is dealing with the issue of drugs November 2019 Tēnā koe The New Zealand Drug Foundation’s vision is for an Aotearoa free from drug harm. This is the second edition of our annual report on how New Zealand is dealing with alcohol and other drugs. While we are doing well in some areas, in others there is significant room for improvement. More than 70 deaths have been linked with synthetic cannabinoids since mid-2017. The death rate has dropped in recent months, but there is no room for complacency. Synthetic cannabinoids continue to cause significant harm across the country, and dangerous new substances still regularly enter the market. Alcohol is still the most harmful drug in New Zealand. Twenty percent of New Zealanders drink hazardously, and it’s the substance most people seek help for. Alarmingly, alcohol is more affordable now than in the 1980s. The Government must prioritise minimum prices, and phase out alcohol advertising and sponsorship. Methamphetamine use is an ongoing issue: August 2019 saw the biggest methamphetamine seizure on record. While overall use remains low, across the total population methamphetamine causes huge amounts of harm in some communities. Māori continue to suffer disproportionately from the harms caused by alcohol and other drugs, bearing the brunt of our criminal justice approach to drug use, with high rates of arrest and conviction. However, there is a lot to be hopeful about. A new amendment to the Misuse of Drugs Act, passed in August, means Police may only prosecute for possession and use of drugs if it is ‘required in the public interest’.

  • Ruru Parirau: Mäori & Alcohol
    RURU PARIRAU: MÄORI & ALCOHOL The importance of destabilising negative stereotypes and the implications for policy and practice Kristen Maynard* Sarah Wright † Shirleyanne Brown‡ Abstract A key challenge for the Health Promotion Agency (HPA) is to fi nd innovative ways to address the disproportionate levels of alcohol- related harm that Mäori experience. Some negative images of Mäori drinking, such as those in the movie adaptation of Alan Duff’s Once Were Warriors, have become a self-fulfi lling prophecy for far too many Mäori. Consequently, the Alcohol Advisory Council of New Zealand (ALAC), now part of HPA, has been working on ways to destabilise these negative images. This article explores the concept of stereotypes and how it can affect alcohol use by Mäori. It also offers some practical ideas for what can be done to mitigate the impacts of negative stereotyping.

  • Briefing Paper – Feedback Draft November, 2012
    Alcohol, Injuries and Violence- Policy Briefing Paper – Feedback Draft November, 2012 Introduction The harmful use of alcohol has a serious impact on public health and is recognised internationally, and in New Zealand as a major risk factor for poor health. The concept of the harmful use of alcohol is broad and encompasses the drinking that causes detrimental health and social consequences for the drinker, the people around the drinker and society at large. It can ruin the lives of individuals, devastate families, and damage the fabric of communities. The New Zealand Law Commission recently undertook a comprehensive review of the regulatory framework for the sale and supply of liquor in New Zealand. Their report - Alcohol in Our Lives – Curbing the Harm1 provides a comprehensive overview of the role of alcohol in the lives of New Zealanders, the size and scope of the alcohol industry, the harms of alcohol, and how we might best address them. Despite this there are significant gaps in our knowledge and understanding of the role alcohol plays in injuries and violence. What is clear is that alcohol is a major contributor to the burden of injury in New Zealand. To better understand the extent of the alcohol-related burden of injuries and to inform alcohol harm prevention efforts in New Zealand, Alcohol Healthwatch undertook two literature reviewsa canvassing both international and national literature. The reviews aimed to collate and summarise available evidence on: 1. The risks and contextual factors influencing alcohol-related injuries 2. The patterns and trends of injury outcomes 3. What works to prevent alcohol-related injuries This briefing paper provides a context to the issues, presents a summary of these reviews, discusses issues emerging and proposes recommendations to enhance efforts to prevent alcohol-related injuries and violence in Aotearoa New Zealand.

  • Alcohol Reform Bill – Policy Amendments for Inclusion in the Government Supplementary Order Paper
    REGULATORY IMPACT STATEMENT: ALCOHOL REFORM BILL – POLICY AMENDMENTS FOR INCLUSION IN THE GOVERNMENT SUPPLEMENTARY ORDER PAPER Agency disclosure statement This Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) has been prepared by the Ministry of Justice. It provides an analysis of the main proposed changes to the Alcohol Reform Bill (the Bill), which will be included in a Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) at the Committee of the Whole House stage of the Bill. This RIS builds on the RIS that accompanied the Alcohol Law Reform Cabinet Paper, which sought policy approval for the Bill (August 2010). It also builds on the RIS that accompanied the Cabinet paper that sought policy approval for changes to the Bill following its consideration by the Justice and Electoral Committee (July 2011). The analysis provided in this RIS is commensurate with the expected level of impact for each of the matters under consideration. These matters are covered in separate parts of this RIS. Ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages (RTDs) (Part 1) The primary focus of this RIS is on RTDs as placing regulatory restrictions on this alcohol product category could potentially have significant impacts. The Government has indicated its intention to target RTDs and has recently announced that maximum limits of 6% alcohol content and 1.5 standard drinks per container could be introduced for RTDs sold from off-licence premises. The proposal in the Cabinet paper is to give the alcohol industry an opportunity to introduce their own measures to limit the harm to young people caused by RTDs, as well as to include a regulation-making power in the Bill to allow restrictions on the sale of RTDs in the future.
