Abstract

In many Indigenous communities across Queensland Alcohol Management Plans (AMPs) were implemented in the early 2000's as a means of controlling alcohol availability [1, 2]. This was achieved in many communities by enforcing limitations to the quantity and type of alcohol allowed, known as 'carriage limits' [1, 2]. In 2008 AMPs were again reviewed resulting in complete prohibition in a number of Indigenous communities [3]. This report is part of a larger National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NHMRC, Early Career Fellowship #1070931) funded study on alcohol related injuries and resilience. The project aims to describe and categorise injuries in four remote Indigenous communities in Cape York, far north Queensland, Australia. At the time of implementation a key outcome proposed of AMPs was to reduce violence in communities, in particular violence against women and children.
