Training for alcohol servers and owners/managers to reduce night-time traffic accidents

Drink-driving programmes targeting recreational settings encompassing compulsory training for all alcohol servers and owners/managers were found in a narrative review (Calafat, Juan and Duch, 2009) to lead to:

• statistically significant reductions in single-vehicle night-time traffic accidents (those with high percentages of alcohol involvement).

Mandated server training was found in two systematic reviews (Jones et al 2010; Ker and Chinnock, 2008) and in a narrative review (EMCDDA, 2012), to lead to:

• reductions in Single Vehicle Night crashes and alcohol-related crashes (23 % by the end of the third year).

Alcohol server interventions were found in a systematic review (Bolier  et al 2011) to have significant effects in:

• reduction of road accidents (narrative results).
