Understanding and addressing the Schoolies phenomenon.

Conclusion: Students and parents constitute important target groups for interventions designed to address alcohol-related harms during Schoolies. In the WA context, legislation on secondary supply and controlled purchase, as recommended by health and police authorities, could reduce harms that are likely to result from the change in the age of school leavers. Suggestions for alternative pastimes to promote to school leavers are provided. PMID: 25716657 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
