The long-term goal of this project is to reduce aggression in bars. Alcohol is known to be associated with aggression, and bars in particular are drinking contexts where the risk of aggression and injury is high. Therefore, reducing aggression in bars is a serious social and health concern. Responsible Beverage Service training has demonstrated success in reducing overserving, but an intervention is needed that focuses specifically on preventing aggression. The proposed research involves a randomized control study of the effects of the Safer Bars intervention on reducing aggression. The intervention consists of two components: (1) Risk Assessment -a comprehensive assessment of environmental and other factors in the bar that increase the risk of aggression; and (2) Bar Staff Training -a training program for bar owners, managers and staff on preventing and managing problem behavior. A pool of 100 bars will be selected for the study (with 50 randomly assigned to the Safer Bars intervention). With an expected recruitment rate of 50 percent, the design will include 25 experimental bars, 25 "refusal" bars and 50 control bars. The effects of the intervention will be assessed through unobtrusive observations by researchers at baseline and two posttests., as well as by police records of calls for service, occurrence and arrests over the study period. The intervention is hypothesized to affect aggression as follows: (1) risk assessment consultation with owners and training of bar staff-(2) plans by owners to reduce risk factors and changes in knowledge and attitudes among staff following the training-(3) changes in the physical and social environment of the bar and changes in staff behavior in the bar-(4) reduced aggression. The study will involve both outcome(effects of the Safer Bars intervention on rate of physical aggression) and process (monitoring the delivery of the intervention, the extent that the risk assessment leads to plans to reduce risks, and pre-post training knowledge and attitude change) evaluation. If the Safer Bars intervention is demonstrated to be effective in reducing barroom aggression, the results could have a broad impact on bars in North America. Secondary Objective. Because evaluation of the intervention requires the collection of a large database on bar aggression and associated situational variables, secondary analyses of the data are planned to explore the role of the following in aggressive behavior: the effects of alcohol; females; bar staff; and routine activities.

这个项目的长期目标是减少酒吧中的攻击行为。 众所周知，酒精与攻击性有关，特别是酒吧是攻击和伤害风险很高的饮酒场所。 因此，减少酒吧中的攻击行为是一个严重的社会和健康问题。 负责任的饮料服务培训已证明在减少过度服务方面取得了成功，但需要进行专门针对预防侵略的干预。这项拟议中的研究涉及一项随机对照研究，研究安全酒吧干预对减少攻击性的影响。干预措施包括两个部分：（1）风险评估-对酒吧中增加攻击风险的环境和其他因素进行全面评估;（2）酒吧工作人员培训-为酒吧老板、管理人员和工作人员提供预防和管理问题行为的培训方案。 将为研究选择100个条形样本池（其中50个随机分配至安全条形干预）。 预期招募率为50%，设计将包括25个实验酒吧，25个“拒绝”酒吧和50个控制酒吧。 干预的效果将通过研究人员在基线和两次后测时的不引人注目的观察来评估。以及警方在研究期间的服务电话、事件和逮捕记录。假设干预影响攻击如下：（1）风险评估咨询与业主和培训酒吧工作人员-（2）业主计划，以减少风险因素和培训后的知识和态度的变化-（3）在酒吧的物理和社会环境的变化和工作人员在酒吧的行为变化-（4）减少攻击。 该研究将涉及结果（更安全的酒吧干预对身体攻击率的影响）和过程（监测干预措施的实施，风险评估导致计划降低风险的程度，以及培训前和培训后的知识和态度变化）评估。 如果更安全的酒吧干预被证明是有效的减少酒吧侵略，结果可能会产生广泛的影响，在北美的酒吧。次要目标。 由于评估的干预措施需要收集一个大型数据库的酒吧侵略和相关的情境变量，二次分析的数据计划探索以下的作用，在侵略行为：酒精的影响;女性;酒吧工作人员;和日常活动。
