“…a visit by police to high risk premises during which an audit of the premises' responsible service and management practices was undertaken. The audits have a harm reduction rather than strictly compliance focus [57,58]; and . a follow-up visit by police during which the results of the audit were presented to licensees, together with recommendations for service and management improvements.…”

Harm associated with consumption of alcohol on licensed premises is an issue of community concern. Interventions to reinforce responsible sale of alcohol such as server training and accords between licensees, police and health advocates are well known. However, while generally supported by police and licensees as 'a good thing', evaluations demonstrating that they reduce alcohol-related harm are rare. Lack of enforcement is often an issue. This paper reports on system intervention to enhance police enforcement of liquor laws by providing data-based feedback to police and licensees about alcohol-related crime following drinking on specific licensed premises. The system has been shown to contribute to a reduction of alcohol-related crime and has been adopted into routine practice by NSW police state-wide. It is a good example of how research can be conducted in a way that bridges the gap between policy research and policy practice.

“…Increasing attention is being paid to such issues of server training and the safety of drinking environments in the United States, Australia, Sweden, and Canada. (Babor et al, 2003;Daly et al, 2002;Holder & Wagenaar, 1994;Lang et al, 1998;Shults et al, 2001;Stockwell, 2001;Toomey et al, 1998).…”

“…Despite a number of Alcohol Accords in place throughout Australia, the evidence of their effectiveness is equivocal (Daly et al, 2002;Hawks et al, 1998), and they are likely to have only minimal impact on reducing harm such as drink driving (Lang et al, 1998;Single, 1990;Toomey et al, 1998). The probability of success may increase if there is strong leadership by the police and aggressive enforcement of the voluntary code (Babor et al, 2003).…”

“…The probability of success may increase if there is strong leadership by the police and aggressive enforcement of the voluntary code (Babor et al, 2003). However, while licensees of alcohol outlets are likely to support policies related to providing services to clients such as free non-alcoholic drinks for designated drivers or arranging taxis, they are less supportive of policies that may limit their sales of alcoholic beverages (Daly et al, 2002;Stockwell, 2001;Jaccard & Turrisi, 1999).…”

Traffic Injury Prevention

The conditions that give rise to drinking and driving are complex, with multiple and interrelated causes. Prevention efforts benefit from an approach that relies on the combination of multiple interventions. Health promotion provides a useful framework for conceptualizing and implementing actions to reduce drinking and driving since it involves a combination of educational, behavioral, environmental, and policy approaches. This review draws on data from a range of settings to characterize the effectiveness of various interventions embedded within the health promotion approach. Interventions considered part of the health promotion approach include: (1) economic interventions (2) organizational interventions, (3) policy interventions, and (4) health education interventions, including the use of media, school and community education, and public awareness programs. Effective health promotion strengthens the skills and capabilities of individuals to take action and the capacity of groups or communities to act collectively to exert control over the determinants of alcohol-impaired driving. There is strong evidence for the effectiveness of some components of health promotion, including economic and retailer interventions, alcohol taxation, reducing alcohol availability, legal and legislative strategies, and strategies addressing the servers of alcohol. There is also evidence for the effectiveness of sobriety checkpoints, lower BAC laws, minimum legal drinking age laws, and supportive media promotion programs. Other interventions with moderate evidence of effectiveness include restricting alcohol advertising and promotion, and actions involving counter advertising. Health education interventions alone that have insufficient evidence for effectiveness include passive server training programs, school drug and alcohol education programs, community mobilization efforts, and health warnings. Because each intervention builds on the strengths of every other one, ecological approaches to reducing alcohol-impaired driving using all four components of the health promotion model are likely to be the most effective. Settings such as schools, workplaces, cities, and communities offer practical opportunities to implement alcohol-impaired driving prevention programs within this framework.

“…Difficulties in recognizing intoxication may stem either from a lack of training on the part of bar staff, a lack of adequate surveillance of patrons by bar/security staff, or a lack of reinforcement from management post-training about the nature of signs of intoxication. Daly et al . (2002) report findings from a police audit of over 100 licensed premises in the Hunter region of NSW that had recorded at least one incident of alcoholrelated crime during the previous 3 months.…”

Aims To estimate the extent of responsible service of alcohol (RSA) practice to young adults showing signs of alcohol intoxication on licensed premises in New South Wales. Design Telephone-based cross-sectional survey. Setting New South Wales, Australia. Participants A total of 1090 people aged 18-39 years old. Findings Seventy-five per cent of males and 64% of females reported that they had consumed at levels for acute alcohol-related harm during the previous 12 months, with 34% of males and 24% of females reporting doing so weekly; 54% (95% CI: 51-58%) of both males and females who had consumed at acuterisk levels, reported that this last drinking occasion occurred at a licensed premises. Of these, 56% (95% CI: 51-61%) reported that they had exhibited at least one sign of overt alcohol intoxication, while 19% (95% CI: 15-23%) reported showing three or more signs of intoxication. Among those reporting at least one sign of intoxication, only 10% (95% CI: 7-15%) reported that the licensed premises staff had provided at least one of seven different responsible service initiatives, while 55% (95% CI: 48-61%) reported that they were continued to be served alcohol. While these results suggest that intoxicated patrons are not being refused service as often as they should, there was evidence for some degree of responsible service provision with around half of the 'non-intoxicated' patrons reporting that they had seen licensed premises staff intervene in some way with other 'intoxicated' patrons. Conclusions While the majority of 18-39-year-olds report showing signs of intoxication while drinking at licensed premises in NSW, only a small minority report experiencing RSA initiatives from bar staff in response to these signs.
