Kildare schools take part in three-year study of alcohol use

Kildare schools take part in three-year study of alcohol use Reporter:   ); Over 13,000 students, including pupils from seven secondary schools across Co. Kildare, have to date participated in Drinkaware’s Junior Cycle Alcohol Education Programme (JC AEP) which was the subject of the three-year longitudinal study carried out by Maynooth University. This significant study, for the first time, tracks 1st to 3rd year students’ experiences of alcohol education in Ireland in real time. As the national charity working to reduce and prevent alcohol misuse in Ireland, Drinkaware commissioned Maynooth University’s Centre for Mental Health and Community Research to investigate the programme’s effectiveness in particular its primary prevention goal to delay the age of first drink.

The Big Read: Blame it on the bottle - how Covid is changing our drinking culture

Louise Currie, co-founder of MindSpace Counselling “There are more people presenting with alcohol issues than there would have been previously,” Currie, co-founder of MindSpace Counselling, says. “Some of these people would have had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol but they were somehow managing it. They were distracted with the gym, with friends, going out; whereas now, in lockdown, they’re in the house and alcohol consumption is increasing.” Currie says people are drinking earlier in the day, every day and a couple who used to share one bottle of wine a night are now drinking two. “The clients I work with would be what you’d term ‘functioning alcoholics’ people who still have jobs, people who appear on the outside to have it all together but now family members are noticing because they’re not able to disguise it as well,” she says.
