Web-based Alcohol Service Training for College Students

描述（由申请人提供）：负责任的饮料服务（RBS）培训始于大约25年前，目的是防止公共饮酒场所的顾客在酒后驾驶，其中一半的酒后驾车被捕和与酒精有关的撞车事故源于此。这些项目培训有执照的酒贩和服务员，让他们了解提供和消费酒的医疗和法律风险。这些人群可通过酒精饮料管理机构的数据库访问。然而，另外一半的酒后驾车事件发生在私人饮酒环境中，在那里人们对酒精的影响、风险和法律影响的了解较少。在许多司法管辖区，社交房东也可能对其醉酒客人的行为负责，并且需要RBS培训计划为公共服务人员提供相同的知识库。此外，对未成年人的特殊风险和胎儿酒精暴露的风险在酒精研究文献中越来越多地出现，但饮酒公众仍未充分认识到这一点。我们建议开发一个基于网络的RBS培训计划，以解决这几个公共卫生需求，目标是容易通过兄弟会和姐妹会获得的学院和大学主持人，他们在保护未成年人不喝酒方面面临特殊挑战。该方案还将告知进入生育年龄的年轻妇女胎儿酒精暴露的风险。希腊各组织一贯表现出比其他学生群体高得多的酒精使用和滥用率，并提供机会通过稳定的青年社会系统内的社会影响来加强培训内容。我们的网络课程将有几个优势：(1)广泛的可用性，与学员的实际位置无关；(2)希腊和大学系统内多个站点使用的标准化课程；(3)可用于复习、以问题为中心或以事件为导向的培训的组件；(4)年轻用户熟悉的网络格式；(5)可适应各种校园和校园设置。该项目将调查123个全国兄弟会和姐妹会，并利用他们的建议、焦点小组数据以及我们的科学和培训顾问的建议来开发一个原型网站。这将采用基于研究的RBS方法，并利用RBS商业酒精服务培训网站。然后，我们将在兄弟会和姐妹会社会委员会成员及其顾问的样本中测试网站在增加知识，关注和RBS技能方面的可用性和有效性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Responsible beverage service (RBS) training originated some quarter century ago to prevent driving under the influence among patrons of public drinking establishments, from which half of DUI arrests and alcohol-related crashes originate. These programs train licensed sellers and servers of alcohol regarding the medical and legal risks of providing and consuming alcohol. This population is accessible through alcoholic beverage regulatory agency databases. However, the other half of DUI incidents originate in private drinking environments, where knowledge of alcohol effects, risks, and legal implications are less well known. In many jurisdictions, social hosts can also be held liable for actions of their intoxicated guests, and need the same knowledge base provided by RBS training programs to public servers. In addition, special risks to minors and the risks of fetal alcohol exposure have emerged increasingly in the alcohol research literature but remain insufficiently recognized by the drinking public. We propose to develop a Web-based RBS training program addressing these several public health needs, targeting college and university hosts readily accessible through fraternities and sororities, who face special challenges in protecting minors from alcohol. The program will also inform young women entering their child-bearing years of the risks of fetal alcohol exposure. Greek organizations consistently show much higher rates of alcohol use and abuse than other student populations, and provide opportunities to reinforce training content through social influence within stable young adult social systems. Our Web-based program will have several advantages: (1) wide availability independent of physical location of trainees; (2) a standardized curriculum for use by multiple sites within Greek and university systems; (3) available components for refresher, problem-focused or incident-driven trainings; (4) a Web format familiar to young users; and (5) modifiability for a variety of campuses and campus settings. The project will survey 123 national fraternities and sororities and use their suggestions, focus group data, and suggestions of our scientific and training consultants to develop a prototype Web site. This will employ research-based RBS methodologies and draw upon a RBS training web site for commercial alcohol servers. We will then test both the usability and effectiveness of the web site in increasing knowledge, concern, and RBS skills among samples of fraternity and sorority social committee members and their advisors.
