Abstract

AbstractThis chapter outlines the objectives of the book that follows and contextualises it. The objectives are, firstly, to review actions and programs adopted by Aboriginal communities and organisations to reduce alcohol-related harms in the half-century that has passed since legal prohibition on Aboriginal drinking alcohol in Australia was rescinded. A second objective is to synthesise evidence from these actions and programs in order to improve the evidence-base available to current and future initiatives. The chapter concludes with an overview of topics explored in the following chapters.
