“…There were six studies that examined the effectiveness of transport interventions [29,30,89,90,106,121]. Three studies examined the impact of extending public transport hours, including one strong-rated study that investigated the impacts of a gradual extension of public transport operating hours in Washington DC in the USA from midnight to 3am [89], and two weak-rated studies by Curtis and colleagues [29,30] which investigated the impacts of 24-h public transport in Melbourne, Australia.…”

“…Three studies based in the USA examined the effects of an intervention that included a designated driver/ride sharing measure. One weak-rated study investigating the effects of designated drivers at a college bar in Tallahassee, and one strong-rated study in Ohio that evaluated a ride sharing service found such measures led to an increase in the proportion of patrons riding with/acting as a designated driver (12-24%; [90]), or stating that they would be less inclined to drive after drinking (71%; [106]). Studies reported mixed results regarding any changes in the number of alcohol-attributable crashes (or single vehicle night-time crashes as a proxy) following the interventions.…”

Background Harms associated with the use of alcohol and other drugs (AOD) in licensed entertainment settings (LES) and outdoor music festivals (OMF) are ongoing public health and criminal justice concerns. This systematic review provides a comprehensive, synthesized report on the evidence base of interventions that impact harm in these settings, and how they affect health, behavioral, and criminal justice outcomes. Methods Nine databases were searched for experimental and observational studies published between 2010 and 2021. Studies were included if they were peer-reviewed, published in English, described interventions which could impact AOD-related harms in LES or OMF (and were delivered in these environments), and reported on health, criminal justice and/or behavioral outcomes. Methodological quality was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project’s Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies and the Critical Appraisal Skills Program for qualitative studies. A narrative synthesis was conducted to synthesize outcomes across studies. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020140004). Results Of the 48,303 studies screened, 100 met the inclusion criteria. 86 focused solely on reducing alcohol-related harm, 7 on reducing illicit drug-related harm, and 7 on both. Most (n = 88) focused on LES and evaluated changes in laws and regulations (n = 28) and/or multicomponent interventions/policies (n = 41). Multicomponent interventions showed the best results for both health (62% positive) and criminal justice (84% positive) outcomes, with 71% of studies being rated as strong quality. There was also good evidence to support the careful application of trading hour restrictions and limited but promising evidence to support medical services and drug checking. Conclusion The breadth, quality and volume of evidence regarding what works in reducing AOD-related harm in recreational settings have increased in the past decade, particularly regarding LES. Findings support onsite medical services (reducing ambulance transfer rates), multicomponent interventions targeting alcohol accessibility and availability (reducing assaults), and drug checking services, but suggest other interventions such as drug detection dogs may exacerbate harm. Further, higher quality research is required to address identified gaps in the evidence base, particularly on optimal interventions within OMF, around illicit drugs more broadly and in the Global South.

“…Recent literature on ridesharing focuses on broader aspects such as ridesharing during evacuation (Borowski et al, 2021), discriminatory attitude during ridesharing (Moody et al, 2019), older adults and ridesharing (Mitra et al, 2019), ridesharing and drunk driving (Miller et al, 2020) and side effects of ridesharing (Chen et al, 2020). Although most of the studies in ridesharing behavior are conducted in developed economies, few profound observations are carried out in certain emerging economies such as China (Shao and Yin, 2019), Ghana (Boateng et al, 2019), Iran (Akbari et al, 2020) and Egypt (Abutaleb et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThe primary goal of this study is to determine the predictors of on-demand ridesharing intention in an emerging economy. For this purpose, the study uses the theoretical underpinnings of the theory of planned behavior (TPB).Design/methodology/approachThe study surveyed 347 frequent users of ridesharing services using a set of pre-validated scales. The resulting data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM).FindingsThe results of SEM analysis disclosed that the significant factors contributing to ridesharing intention are awareness of environmental consequences, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and attitude (towards ridesharing).Practical implicationsThis empirical research provides statistically robust insights for developing marketing strategies that attract more individuals toward ridesharing services.Originality/valueThis research has remarkable significance as it is one of the pioneering studies that critically examine the determinants of ridesharing intention from a South Asian emerging economy. Further, the extended TPB framework proposed in this study explains 71.4% variance in ridesharing intention, which is significantly higher than existing studies, with none of them explaining more than 70% variance.

“…Around the globe, there have been growing number of services, programs, campaigns and interventions introduced (and evaluated) in an attempt to prevent and/or reduce the impact of AOD consumption and related violence in the NTE [ 40 – 47 ]. These interventions target a range of ‘risk factors’ for AOD-related violence and harm, including by reducing alcohol availability through trading restrictions or one way door policies [ 48 – 53 ], addressing irresponsible/ non-compliant service of alcohol practices [ 40 , 54 – 57 ], and providing better late night public transport options and support for night-time revellers [ 58 – 60 ]. Regarding the latter, one such approach is the establishment of ‘safe spaces’ or safe night precincts in night-time entertainment settings.…”

Background Safe Spaces are a harm reduction approach commonly utilised in nightlife and festival settings to address alcohol and other drug-related harms. Despite increasing use, there has been little independent evaluation of safe space programs. This study aimed to explore (1) program user satisfaction with and use of a safe space program implemented in Sydney, Australia (The Take Kare Safe Space (TKSS)), and (2) the strengths and weaknesses of TKSS from the perspective of key stakeholders. Methods Semi-structured, in-depth, interviews lasting between 30 min to 1 h were conducted with 38 key program stakeholders, including staff from police (n = 4), ambulance (n = 4), a local hospital accident and emergency room (n = 4), local council (n = 2), city ‘rangers’ (n = 2), the TKSS program (n = 4), licensed venues and other nightlife service providers (n = 4), and program users (n = 14). Purposive sampling was used to identify key stakeholders to participate in interviews. Results Stakeholders stated that the TKSS program had a number of core benefits, including that it filled a service gap in nightlife settings; improved the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency services and other stakeholders operating in nightlife precincts; provided welfare services through proactive and non-judgmental interventions; and facilitated a means to de-escalate conflict without engaging police. Perceived weaknesses of the program included a lack of public awareness about the program; staff and volunteer levels; and misunderstandings regarding the scope and function of the TKSS program by some stakeholders. Conclusion This study demonstrates the complex relationships that exist around the delivery of harm reduction in nightlife settings. In particular, it highlights the relative lack of servicing of public nightlife settings and the value of safe spaces/peer-to-peer safety ambassador programs in linking up care and filling this service gap. Further, it documents the extended benefit across key stakeholder groups of delivering proactive and non-judgemental harm reduction services and, in doing so, provides critical evidence around their efficacy in reducing AOD-related harms in the night-time economy.
