An Assessment of Data Quality for Examining Alcohol-Related Issues in the Queenstown Lakes District

The specific objectives of this feasibility study were to examine:

1. The availability and robustness of data and information to assess alcohol-related issues in the Queenstown Lakes District.
2. Whether, or to what degree, data and information can be used to assess if any alcohol-related issues are influenced by changes to opening hours that have occurred in the Queenstown Lakes District in the past.
3. Whether, or to what degree, data and information can be used to assess harms more generally over time in the Queenstown Lakes District.
4. Any necessary improvements to data and information collection to enable Lakes Environmental Limited and the Queenstown Lakes District Council to be in a better position to assess policy or regulation changes in the future.
