Results: Greater enactment of the PBS that has previously been found to be associated with reduced alcohol use (‘Count your drinks’) was found among older respondents and those with lower levels of alcohol consumption. Older respondents were also more likely to enact two of the three PBSs that have been found to be associated with increased alcohol consumption (‘Use a designated driver’ and ‘Leave drinking venues at a pre-determined time’). Conclusions/Importance: Results suggest that enactment of specific PBSs may differ according to the individual-level variables of gender, age, and preferred beverage type, and the environmental-level variable of attendance at licensed premises. Randomized trials investigating the effectiveness of PBS interventions among drinker subgroups are needed to determine the extent to which enactment reduces alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm and whether effects are moderated by the variables assessed in this study.]]> Tue 29 Nov 2022 11:13:26 AEDT ]]> A longitudinal examination of protective behavioral strategies and alcohol consumption among adult drinkers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36440 Mon 04 May 2020 12:23:04 AEST ]]>
