LEARNT (LEarning from Alcohol (Policy) Reforms in the NT) is a study focused on examining the impact of the reintroduction of the Banned Drinker Register (BDR) alongside the wider framework of alcohol control measures in operation in the Northern Territory. Current control measures include health interventions, police interventions at the point of sale and broader policy-relevant factors such as price, alcohol availability and other government social policies. Far-reaching secondary impacts include impacts on social equality, education and child protection.

The project aligns with two national science and research priority areas: 1. Better health outcomes for Indigenous people, with strategies for both urban and regional communities, and 2. Improved prediction, identification, tracking, prevention and management of emerging local and regional health threats.

This study will provide important information for policy makers, treatment agencies and key stakeholders within the NT, nationally and internationally.
