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）培训起源于大约四分之一世纪前，以防止在公共饮酒场所的顾客的影响下驾驶，其中一半的DUI逮捕和与酒精有关的碰撞起源。这些方案对有执照的酒类销售商和服务员进行关于提供和消费酒类的医疗和法律的风险的培训。这一人群可通过酒精饮料管理机构数据库访问。然而，另一半的酒后驾车事件起源于私人饮酒环境，在那里，酒精的影响，风险和法律的影响的知识不太为人所知。在许多司法管辖区，社交主机也可能对醉酒客人的行为负责，并且需要RBS培训计划向公共服务器提供相同的知识库。此外，对未成年人的特殊风险和胎儿酒精暴露的风险越来越多地出现在酒精研究文献中，但仍然没有得到饮酒公众的充分认识。我们建议开发一个基于Web的RBS培训计划，解决这几个公共卫生需求，针对学院和大学主机容易通过兄弟会和姐妹会，谁面临特殊的挑战，在保护未成年人免受酒精。该方案还将告知进入生育年龄的年轻妇女胎儿接触酒精的风险。希腊各组织的酗酒和滥用率一直高于其他学生群体，并提供机会，通过在稳定的青年社会系统内施加社会影响来加强培训内容。我们的基于网络的方案将有几个优点：（1）广泛的可用性独立的物理位置的学员;（2）由希腊和大学系统内的多个网站使用的标准化课程;（3）复习，以问题为重点或事件驱动的培训可用组件;（4）一个网络格式熟悉的年轻用户;和（5）修改各种校园和校园环境。该项目将调查123个全国性的兄弟会和姐妹会，并利用他们的建议，焦点小组的数据，以及我们的科学和培训顾问的建议，开发一个原型网站。这将采用以研究为基础的苏格兰皇家银行的方法，并利用苏格兰皇家银行的商业酒精服务器培训网站。然后，我们将测试的可用性和有效性的网站，在增加知识，关注，和RBS技能之间的样本兄弟会和姐妹会社会委员会成员和他们的顾问。

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.
