  7. The Theory Behind It Holder Model - Community Prevention is most effective when a mix of complementary evidence based prevention strategies are implemented at a local level in order to reduce one or more alcohol related problems. Evaluation indicators should be • at a population level • directly related to the problem • gathered at baseline and over the course of the intervention

  8. Evaluation • Direct outcome measures • A&E • Ambulance • Police • Indirect outcomes • Media monitoring • Public perception • Activity Evaluation

  9. Ideal Dataset • City Centre area only • By 2 hour time slot within study period 10pm-4am • By day of week averaged for each month • By gender and age group • Alcohol related presentations / incidents only

  10. What were able to get – A&E • By sex and 10 year age bands • By 2 hour time slots (10pm-4am) • By day of week averaged by month • All attendances at Glasgow Royal Infirmary (not city centre only) (not alcohol related only) + supplemented by A&E snapshot study

  11. Initial Findings A&E • 36% of the total number of attendances took place on Friday and Saturday nights • 16-29 year olds accounted for 38% of all attendances between 10pm and 4am.

  12. What were able to get – Ambulance Service • Attendances to defined city centre area • By 1 hour time slots (24hours) • By day of week averaged by month • All calls (not only alcohol related) • No age or gender breakdown

  13. Initial Findings Ambulance • Highest number of incidents on Friday and Saturday nights • Variation in monthly average • Peaks in incidents at around midnight and around 3am (Frid & Sat)

  14. What were able to get – Police (1) Violent Crime and Breach of the Peace • Crime in defined city centre area • By 2 hour time slots (10pm-4am) • By day of week averaged by month • By sex and age group of victims • All crimes reported (not only alcohol related)

  17. Some Challenges • Data • availability • format • supply • analysis

  18. Learning • Collection and quality of basic data sets • Cost • Ownership • Keeping the big picture at the forefront • Asking for what was needed but being prepared to compromise • Remembering it’s all about relationships • Keeping the communication clear • Speaking directly to people • Identifying the ‘important people’ and keeping them on side • Meeting needs of AERC research • Commissioning evaluations and research
