摘要

Alcohol restrictions have been implemented in many Indigenous communities internationally,with the aim to reduce alcohol-related harm. Whilst a range of reviews have evaluated suchrestrictions using different measures, drink driving has been described in several reviews asincreasing. Presently, this remains anecdotal; with limited empirical evidence to corroboratethese reports. In Australia, the Queensland government introduced alcohol managementplans in remote Indigenous communities, during 2002-2003, with total alcohol prohibitioncommencing in 2008 in some communities. Given road crashes are one of the leadingcauses of injuries for Indigenous peoples, this study aims to identify if the restrictions havebeen successful in reducing drink driving or have increased such behaviour. We examinethis by reviewing changes in conviction rates and in offender and offence characteristicsfollowing the 2008 restrictions. Using de-identified Queensland court drink driving convictiondata (2006-2011), from four Indigenous communities, Robust Poisson regression modelscompared counts of drink driving convictions pre (2006-2008) versus post SRS (2009-2011).Changes in offender characteristics and conviction details (blood alcohol concentration(BAC) and sentencing severity), were examined using chi-squares. Results indicate adecline in convictions after the 2008 SRS in three communities. However, a significantincrease in convictions was identified in one study community. Community-level disparityincluded significant decline in BAC in one community (χ~2=5.58, p=0.02) compared with thethree other communities that did not indicate change and a significant increase the numberof women convicted in two communities (χ~2=17.36, p<0.01; χ~2=5.79, p=0.04). Alcoholrestrictions may have important implications in road safety with these reductions inconvictions and BAC in some communities. However, an increase in the number of womenconvicted and limited changes in BAC for other communities demonstrate the complexrelationship between alcohol use, remoteness and driving. Greater focus on demandreduction strategies may be necessary to address alcohol misuse.
