The project adopted a mixed-methods design, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, to explore the links between social context and alcohol consumption among 42 Australians, aged 65-74 years inclusive.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) are the leading preventable cause of non-genetic, developmental disability in Australia. The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE)’s Australian FASD Action Plan 2013-2016 presents a costed plan of action addressing five priority areas that target FASD across the spectrum, from prevention of the condition to management across the lifespan.
