Supporting healthy drink choices in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities: a community-led supportive environment approach.

CONCLUSIONS: A multi-component strategy with strong engagement from local government, community leaders and the wider community was associated with positive changes in community readiness, drink availability and sales. Implications for public health: Partnering with community leaders in the co-design of strategies to create environments that support healthy drink consumption can stimulate local action and may positively affect drink consumption.
