abstract="Pubs, clubs, and music festivals are places characterised by increased alcohol consumption. Drinkaware, a UK alcohol awareness charity, delivered two crime-prevention initiatives designed to reduce alcohol-related harm among young adults: the &quot;Drinkaware Crew&quot; initiative implemented at night-time-economy (NTE) venues, and more recently, the Drinkaware &quot;Festival Crew&quot;. This paper uses mixed methods to present (a) an outcome evaluation of the societal impact of the &quot;Drinkaware Crew&quot; initiative using routinely collected data; and (b) a process evaluation examining the transferability of the &quot;Drinkaware Crew&quot; initiative to a music festival-context. <br><br>FINDINGS indicate that the Drinkaware Crew occupy a unique gap in existing NTE and festival infrastructures, however, a number of improvements to the data available are recommended to ensure that such initiatives are thoroughly evidence-based.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
