This study reports the findings of a field trial designed to assess the extent of alcohol sales to minors in one county in northwest New Jersey. Two 19-year-old males were successful in purchasing alcoholic beverages in 27 of 46 (58.7 percent) establishments visited. On the following day, 23 of the establishments that sold the alcohol were visited again and, on this occasion, 18 (78.3 percent) sold alcohol to the minor. This study supports the findings from surveys that show that underage drinkers can obtain alcohol with ease. Many community groups are now taking action to rectify this situation, and data of the type reported in this paper can be used to assess the effectiveness of their actions.
本研究报告了一项实地试验的结果,该试验旨在评估新泽西州西北部一个县向未成年人销售酒精饮料的程度。两名19岁男性在走访的46家场所中的27家(58.7%)成功买到了酒精饮料。次日,再次走访了其中23家售出酒精饮料的场所,此次有18家(78.3%)向未成年人出售了酒精饮料。本研究支持了调查得出的结果,即表明未成年人饮酒者能够轻松获得酒精饮料。许多社区团体目前正在采取行动纠正这种情况,本文所报告的这类数据可用于评估其行动的有效性。
