Performance-based alcohol screening devices may help reduce road traffic accidents, but there is a shortage of easy-to-use performance tests available. To address this issue, four recently developed rapid, computerized, easily implementable performance tests, Spiral for iPhone and Spiral for Mac (psychomotor tests), and the Modified Mental Rotation and Catch the Rabbit tests (cognitive tests), were assessed, testing participants at predrink baseline and then during three progressive amounts of alcohol intake. Analyses showed all tests were performed statistically significantly less accurately at 0.11% blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) than at 0.00% BAC, as were all tests except Spiral for iPhone at 0.06% BAC. These results indicate the suitability of all of these tests for measuring alcohol-induced impairment, and some potential for use as a practical performance-based alcohol screening device.
基于表现的酒精筛查设备可能有助于减少道路交通事故，但目前可用的易用性能测试却短缺。为了解决这个问题，我们评估了最近开发的四项快速、计算机化、易于实施的性能测试，包括 iPhone 和 Mac 上的 Spiral（心理运动测试），以及改良的心理旋转和抓兔子测试（认知测试），在饮酒前基线和三个逐渐增加的酒精摄入量期间对参与者进行测试。分析表明，在 0.11%血液酒精浓度（BAC）时，所有测试的准确性都明显低于 0.00% BAC，除了 iPhone 上的 Spiral 之外，在 0.06% BAC 时所有测试的准确性也都有所下降。这些结果表明这些测试都适合测量酒精引起的损害，并且可能有潜力作为一种实用的基于表现的酒精筛查设备。
