Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of alcohol server training legislation to prevent DUI (driving under the influence), comparing state-mandated training in two states, training encouraged by laws providing license protection incentives for participating establishments in two states, and two states with no formal statewide system. Four years of a five-year study have been completed. Dependent variables measuring both implementation and effectiveness include percent of alcohol servers trained; knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported practices of servers; observed server adherence to responsible practices; estimates of exiting customer intoxication; and time series analyses of DUI crash data. Survey and field data comparing mandatory, incentive, and free market states are presented.
