The relationship between Australian harm minimisation alcohol education and student uptake, consumption and harm

Providing more harm minimisation alcohol education did not persuade students to abstain from alcohol, but rather the reverse. Providing more harm minimisation education was influential in reducing consumption by students, particularly those drinking at risky levels. This should be considered indirectly beneficial in terms of minimising harm. However, the alcohol education provided to Australian students has not directly influenced their alcohol-related harm.
