Summary

Since 2016, CM Health has developed and implemented an Alcohol Harm Minimisation Programme, which focuses on alcohol as a key determinant of population health, wellbeing and equity outcomes, and prioritises prevention and early intervention actions.

This report describes the programme evaluation that was undertaken during 2020. The evaluation aimed to describe and understand success and quality aspects of the programme, to support future work. It was a non-experimental, mixed method, process and outcome evaluation addressing key evaluation questions. 

Overall, the evaluation supports retaining many of existing programme components. There were also aspects that didn’t work so well and the report provides recommendations for improvements. Key areas for strengthening include Maaori governance of the programme to ensure accountability of Te Tiriti o Waitangi commitments and sustainability of partnerships with Maaori, and developing systems and processes to address implicit and explicit biases among staff.
