The potential of a server intervention program to decrease the likelihood that a bar patron will leave a bar intoxicated was evaluated. Research assistants posing as regular patrons ("pseudopatrons") visited two bars where about half of the servers had received server intervention training. Pseudopatrons set the occasion for server intervention to occur by drinking six alcoholic beverages in two hours. The blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of the pseudopatrons was measured after they left the bar. Results revealed that trained servers initiated more server interventions than did untrained personnel. Moreover, pseudopatrons served by trained personnel reached substantially lower BACs than those served by untrained servers. These results suggest that, if implemented on a large scale, server intervention programs have the potential of reducing drunken driving by helping to decrease the exit BACs of bar patrons.
一项关于服务器干预计划降低酒吧顾客醉酒离开酒吧可能性的潜力评估展开。研究助理假扮成普通顾客(“假顾客”)走访了两家酒吧,其中约一半的服务员接受过服务器干预培训。假顾客通过在两小时内饮用六杯酒精饮料来创造服务器干预的契机。假顾客离开酒吧后测量其血液酒精浓度(BAC)。结果显示,经过培训的服务员比未受过培训的人员发起了更多的服务器干预。此外,由受过培训的人员服务的假顾客的BAC远低于由未受过培训的服务员服务的假顾客。这些结果表明,如果大规模实施,服务器干预计划有可能通过帮助降低酒吧顾客离开时的BAC来减少酒后驾车情况。
