A community education program was designed to train the individual drinker to self-regulate his or her blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) below a level of impairment (.05 g/dl or 11 mmol/L). Drink calculators (cardboard wheels and wallet cards) were disseminated to customers of bars and licensed beverage outlets; bartenders and counter clerks were trained to demonstrate use of the calculators and demonstrations were presented in television spots. Program components were evaluated in three matched Vermont communities, one receiving the full community education program, one receiving the TV spots only, and one serving as control. After six months of intervention, a roadside survey of nighttime drivers (N = 892) indicated 5.3 per cent fewer drivers with BACs above 0.05 g/dl in the community program group and 1.0 per cent fewer in the TV-only group compared to the control group; however, substantially fewer drivers were found above .00 BAC in either program community than in the control. Drivers reporting heavy drinking and youthful drivers both indicated higher utilization of the materials than did other drivers. Although limited in scale and duration, this study suggests that a community education program can be effective in preventing alcohol-impaired driving.
一项社区教育项目旨在培训饮酒者自行将其血液酒精浓度（BAC）控制在损害水平以下（0.05克/分升或11毫摩尔/升）。饮酒计算器（硬纸板轮盘和钱包卡片）被分发给酒吧和有执照的饮料销售点的顾客；调酒师和柜台职员接受培训以演示计算器的使用方法，并在电视广告中进行展示。该项目的各个组成部分在佛蒙特州三个匹配的社区进行了评估，一个社区接受完整的社区教育项目，一个社区只接受电视广告，另一个社区作为对照组。经过六个月的干预，对夜间驾驶者进行的路边调查（N = 892）显示，与对照组相比，社区项目组中BAC高于0.05克/分升的驾驶者减少了5.3%，仅接受电视广告组减少了1.0%；然而，在两个项目社区中，BAC高于0.00的驾驶者比对照组中的要少得多。报告大量饮酒的驾驶者和年轻驾驶者都表示比其他驾驶者更多地使用了这些材料。尽管该研究在规模和持续时间上有限，但表明社区教育项目在预防酒后驾车方面可能是有效的。
