21 January, 2009
The HPA is currently organising the follow-up event to the March 2008 seminar on young people and alcohol that will take place on 21 January 2009 at the Comfort Hotel in Antrim.
The aim of the first seminar was to set the scene in terms of Northern Ireland research into young people�s drinking. This follow-up seminar, entitled �Preventing and reducing young people�s drinking � what works?�, will aim to look at what is effective in reducing or preventing young people�s drinking.
Expert speakers will include Professor David Foxcroft from Oxford Brookes University, who recently completed a literature review of what is effective in preventing young people�s alcohol misuse and Kathryn Armstrong from the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment, who will discuss how the new Northern Ireland curriculum can contribute to improving young people�s health.
A range of interactive afternoon parallel sessions will focus on local work to address young people�s drinking in a variety of contexts, including in schools and communities, and with families.
