In the past decade, the harm to Indigenous people caused by excessive alcohol consumption has been increasingly acknowledged. A wide range of projects aimed at reducing such consumption and associated harm has been initiated by both Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and government agencies. Unfortunately, for the members of Aboriginal communities and for policymakers who want to know ‘what works?’, many of these projects have been poorly evaluated or not evaluated at all. This paper examines some of the reasons for this and suggests ways in which evaluation of Aboriginal projects might be made more effective and culturally appropriate, and thus provide a guide for further efforts to reduce excessive alcohol consumption and related harm.
