CONCLUSIONS: Young residents of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) advised that alcohol-related harm reduction strategies would be most effective if focussed on safety, rather than abstinence, and applied social-learning strategies.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: Young people value their burgeoning self-determination. Youth health interventions must engage youth in intervention co-design and aim to assist young people to make safer decisions, rather than making decisions on their behalf.PMID:38035664 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2023.100100
