The health consequences of kava abuse in Arnhem Land Aboriginal populations in the Northern Territory (NT) and the persistence of an illegal kava trade with its associated social harms have been a cause for concern for 20 years. Despite these concerns, some Arnhem Land groups seek to continue using kava and to control its sale, distribution and the profits from the enterprise. In response, policy makers in the NT have embraced principles of harm reduction and created regulatory mechanisms to address broader public concerns and to support local management of kava supply while reinforcing control over the consequences of its use. This paper describes the kava regulatory system now being implemented in the NT which features kava management plans developed in consultation between Aboriginal communities and licensing authorities. It complements the earlier Harm Reduction Digest 9 by McDonald & Jowitt which looked at Kava in the South Pacific.
在北领地（NT）阿纳姆地原住民群体中，卡瓦滥用对健康造成的影响以及非法卡瓦贸易的持续存在及其相关社会危害，20年来一直令人担忧。尽管存在这些担忧，但一些阿纳姆地群体仍寻求继续使用卡瓦，并控制其销售、分销以及该企业的利润。对此，北领地的政策制定者采纳了减少危害的原则，并建立了监管机制，以解决更广泛的公众关切，并支持当地对卡瓦供应的管理，同时加强对其使用后果的控制。本文描述了目前正在北领地实施的卡瓦监管系统，该系统的特点是由原住民社区与许可当局协商制定的卡瓦管理计划。它补充了麦克唐纳和乔伊特早期的《减少危害摘要9》，该摘要研究了南太平洋的卡瓦。
